Lesnar confirms 3 year WWE deal, turned down huge money from UFC

Lesnar puts his family first.

Brock Lesnar gave further insight in to his new WWE contract, in an interview with the Associated Press – he’s signed for three years.

He revealed that UFC offered him a deal that was 10 times better than his previous UFC contract, but he told them that it wasn’t about money.

“The fighter in me wants to continue, but at this stage in my life, it ain’t just about me anymore. You put your pride to the side. You hug your wife and your kids. I’m a 37-year-old man, and some days I feel like I’m 80, just with all the things I’ve experienced, all the things I’ve done. I feel fortunate about it. It’s like, what else can I do? Why go backward?”
