I was sitting there one day on my property and I thought, &#8216;It&#8217;s just time. I can&#8217;t sit and think about this and be caught in this thought process of wanting, wishing, and wondering if I should do it. And, I&#8217;m a person who pulls the trigger. I don&#8217;t want any regrets. That&#8217;s how simple it is,&#8221; Brock said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to spend the rest of my days on this earth wondering why I didn&#8217;t step back in the cage again. So, here we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lesnar said he&#8217;s not even thinking about whether there will be another fight after UFC 200. He said he&#8217;s just looking forward to stepping in the cage again and fighting for himself, not any fans or the paying\u00a0audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m waiting for that moment for the door to shut,&#8221; Brock said. &#8220;Ask me after the fight. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen. Right now, I&#8217;ve got one thing on my mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 Media Call\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ar3miFxKjcc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-93826478\"><div id=\"pwtor-4251905976\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Brock Lesnar appeared on ESPN SportsCenter the week of WrestleMania last year and announced that he was re-signing with WWE and shutting the door on UFC.
