"Brock Lesnar will never wrestle for the WWE while he's under contract to me. But to be in their video game? That's part of his history. He came from the WWE. I brought Brock Lesnar into the UFC, guy had one fight. He was 1-0. The WWE built him up into the star that he was and for me to go back and now say 'No, he's mine,' I don't care about that. It doesn't affect me or my business personally and it helps my athlete."
Dana White talks about former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar, who will fight Alistair Overeem in the main event of UFC 141 on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas, Nevada, shortly after returning to the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) roster as a hidden playable character in the upcoming WWE '12 video game from THQ, which drops Nov. 22 of this year. Does anyone think a UFC fighter not named Lesnar would get the same degree of merchandising leniency?
