You don't need to "believe". Ariel and Botter have both said its on. Its on.

Two things:
1. Helwani and Botter have both said it's happening, and Meltzer has said he at least heard the negotiations were happening.
2.

Vince agreed to put a clause in Brock's contract to allow this to happen, so I don't think he's too concerned about it.

Dana should announce Sage Northcutt/Shane McMahon for 202 next.

When it comes to Brock, I wouldn't expect this to be anything more than a one-time deal. The way the rumors are coming right now, it seems that prior to this year's WM, Brock pressed Vince for more money. Vince instead added a clause to Brock's contract to allow him one UFC fight if he decided he wanted to take one. This is the one. He could theoretically try and squeeze another one out of Vince, but I doubt Vince would give another one without a fight.

Brock looks slimmer in the face and neck. He's a naturally monstrous guy, but he always seemed to carry more weight when he was in WWE. Depending on when that was filmed he must have had plenty of time to get into UFC shape.
The word is that he's been in fight camp since WM.
I didn't think it was that great, but man Brock looked slimmer than he did at last year's Rumble.
My preference is for Brock Lesnar Guy to get hit by a bus.

Brock hasn't slowed down
that was scary to watch cause brock easily could have caught rollins if he wanted to he slowed down near the end. Also part of me really wants lesnar to come down to the octagon to his wwe theme lol

I assume he will be fighting some jobber and his appearance will be nothing more then a attraction but still rad this can happen.

It's been mentioned in the other thread, but Helwani was estcorted out of UFC 199, had his press credentials revoked along with two journalists he works with, and is banned for life from all UFC events.

Ariel Helwani was removed from the building and banned from UFC for life for reporting this. Straight up bullshit from UFC.
Fuck the UFC for doing this.
