Brock Lesnar re-signs with WWE for multi-year deal; officially closes door on UFC career

Brock Lesnar visited with SportsNation’s Michelle Beadle to announce that he will be re-signing with WWE which squashes any rumors of the former UFC champion returning to the mixed martial arts promotion. “I’m officially closing the door on MMA. And it’s hard. I re-signed last night with the WWE,” Lesnar told Beadle.

WWE Chief Executive Officer Triple H confirmed the news on twitter just moments ago.

.@BrockLesnar is a global attraction. Happy to have him re-sign a multi-year contract with @WWE. @espn @MichelleDBeadle

As of now Roman Reigns is a -170 favorite to beat Lesnar (who is a +130) at WrestleMania 31 according to sports betting site Bovada. Expect that line to shrink now that “The Beast Incarnate” has re-upped with WWE.
