It all comes down to his health and his ability to train / compete.  He claimed that he couldn't take shots to his midriff, presumably due to diverticulitis.  Maybe that condition healed.  

I found it curious that Brock could go through a training camp without discovering that he couldn't take hard shots to the body.   

The UFC didn't cut Overeem, despite his lying.  If the UFC can get both Overeem AND Lesnar fit and healthy and in fighting trim, they will have 2 HUGE cash cows to goose their PPV buys.  They must be drooling on their shirts at the very prospects.  But hey, I'd slobber too if I could cash in on those kind of drawing cards.  Money talks and ******** walks.  And we got plenty of both here.

Now if only Dana White can get his act straight and treat Jon Fitch right, and get the Right Hand of God off his ass, maybe things might turn around for the UFC.  

What's this about Vitor Belfort?  Is he dead now?

@AnikM  I can recognize well-intended words.  You are a good ally.  Vitor broke his right hand in training.  Thank the Lord he will heal and move on.

My point was that the UFC wants Overeem and Lesnar back.  It's in their interests and they will do what they must to see that it happens.

It doesn't matter it will go from the Jon Fitch curse to the Jacob Volkmann curse.

Of course I want them back!  All MMA fans want that.  I want MMA to grow and hope Dana avoids the Law of Karma and we can all move on.

Hmm.  Interesting stuff.  The UFC is all about entertainment first.  The tapology site is full of well informed and loyal fight fans.  You are not who the UFC is out to convert to MMA.   The UFC wants every WWE fan to watch,  the want boxing / K1 people to but PPV's and tune in to their free shows.  Face it John Fitch is a GNP beast,  he wears guys down ,  break their spirit ... but that ain't gonna make the non-informed fan watch.  Fitch got screwed because he was deemed buy those causal fans as not exciting.  

Lesnar brings all the WWE PPV buying power with him.  I met him here at work when he came to do an interview.  He was a very humble and nice dude.  Reminded me of when Kimbo came to the campus.  They are both seemed keenly aware of how their star power and hype equated to pay days.  Lesnar would probably smash anyone in the smaller shows ... but against the elite of the division he will always struggle.  Boxing is a game you need to start young.  And no matter how much he trains he will never throw with the skill of JDS.  

But we will all tune in to watch his fight ... and he is no dummy.  He knows that he will get a very fat pay check and a % of PPV to come back.  Thats a big number fight fans ... so for me I say game on ... feed him to Lavar!

He wasn't the same guy after the last surgery, maybe he needed more time to recover I don't know. But unless he feels close to 100%, I wouldn't bother.
