That's all fine and good in fantasy, reality is if Brock Lesnar beats Alistair Overeem in December he won't be going to the Royal Rumble to hype a Wrestlemania match with the Undertaker. Hell, Lesnar's next fight might even be the same month as Wrestlemania.

Again, the idea works for wrestling fans and the WWE, but for Dana White and the UFC it does nothing. The only way Brock goes back to wrestle for the WWE is if he retires from MMA or loses badly to Overeem and gets cut.

I think that's the other thing. Dana may know it's fake, but I think he'd still have a problem with his biggest star in "for real" fighting losing to a 50 year old man in "fake fighting." The headlines in the MMA world and on sites like ESPN would be a joke after that.
