only heard last night that he'd quit UFC on 30th december after losing to overeem.
to be fair to brock he nearly died a couple of years back with diverticulitis and he's done well to make the comeback.
shame for him but he leaves with some cracking matches under his belt, my favourite probably when he fucking mullered frank mir at UFC 100.
WWE return could be up next.

He'll take some time out of the spotlight first. Apparently he's a bit reclusive. He'll just take some time off, do some hunting and that.
Eventually he'll be back in WWE. He'll never wrestle full time because he hated the schedule and thats why he left, but I think he'd definitely go for a couple of big money matches. Make millions of dollars for a few nights work.
He was the main reason I got into MMA. He made a pretty much instant impact and will be remembered for a few big wins, mainly the Mir and Carwin fights.

Yeah I felt sorry for Brock, since his disease he's become a completely different character both in and out of the cage. He has massive respect for opponents now and the fans, something he didn't have when he began in the UFC which was mutual with the fans.
The match and any other beyond this would have gone exactly the same way, anyone who's anyone would have gone straight for the stomach and apparently he said to Dana White he felt like Overeem had broken one of his ribs which doesn surprise me looking at the kick he took that sent him down.
Think it's a wise move to retire from UFC, no reason for him to put himself through that now, he's proved he can mix it with the best by winning the title.
He'll come back to WWE no doubt about it, massive pay day in it for him, even if he does an Undertaker and shows up one night on Raw looks at taker, looks at the WM sign then isn't seen again until Mania.
Lesnar v Taker, Rock v Cena, Jericho v Punk would be one of the biggest draws Mania may ever have if it happens.

Id say taker has 1 more in him possibly 2, and if this is his final one I can see Taker coming back over the next few weeks to stop Kane with all this darkness stuff. I agree with Jericho v Punk though. |

Hmm not sure there'll be another Kane v Taker match, they've become incredibly predictable. Must be up to about 7 or so matches now maybe even more?
In terms of Brock I definitely think he'll return and probably use the beef him and taker had at UFC event to promote the rivalry!

there's always potentially another taker/kane match. WWE will feel with kane re-masked they can put a fresh spin on an old feud.
and again taker is in bad shape and i doubt whether a match with brock would be the right thing to do. not saying brock would be unprofessional but taker is more likely to trust his body with kane.
