Bobby Lashley. Ken Shamrock. Tito Ortiz. Dan Severn. Josh Barnett. Tim Sylvia. Those are just a few of the mixed martial artists that have dabbled in pro wrestling over the years, not to mention some of the Japanese talent that has flowed between both.
Arguably the biggest name of them all — Brock Lesnar — is reportedly set to make his return to the wrestling ring after a five-year sojourn to MMA that included a run as the UFC Heavyweight Champion and the biggest pay-per-view draw in the business.
According to Wrestling Observer founder Dave Meltzer, he has heard stories of Lesnar signing a one-year deal with limited dates and that he’s in Miami for Sunday’s Wrestlemania 28. Could the former champ make his presence made tonight? Talk about it here with our live discussion and results thread.
