Upon his return to the Octagon, Brock will have to climb his way back to the top of the heavyweight division.
Brock Lesnar has been given many chances against the elite heavyweights in the UFC despite the fact he has only had a handful of fights in the promotion.
Why? The only logical answer is the fact that he has a big name coming from the WWE. He has been able to draw the attention of professional wrestling connoisseurs and attract their eyes to the wonderful world of mixed martial arts.
But when he returns to action, the UFC will have a difficult time fast tracking him back to the top of the heavyweight division.
There are die-hard fans out there that would get upset if Brock is put back against the top of the division, which is beginning to have more and more stars on the rise.
The only thing that would seem to make sense would for the UFC to put Lesnar in the Octagon against the new breed of heavyweights to prove that he deserves to be among the elite of the division once again.
Odds are that won’t happen given the fact that nobody sells events like Lesnar, but how long can the UFC continue to push Brock straight to the top before the fans start to realize that it’s all about the money?
I’d say it’s going to happen sooner than later.
