And it may not matter to Vince if Brock is Universal Champion and does UFC and gets his ass kicked. I have this feeling that he sees them as different mediums. A Brock win would not surprise me. He did more for the belt than any other champion.
Right now, I also wouldn't be shocked if they dropped the Universal Title completely and just had AJ Styles appear on both shows. I wouldn't expect that to happen, but WWE is in an odd place where they don't perceive themselves to have "a guy."

UFC contracts are exclusive to UFC only. Lesnar gets to do what he wants cause he is Lesnar. Other UFC guys were forbidden from getting physical as guest managers at Raw by Dana White.
I think Ronda only got a pass to do a bit at Mania 31 cause Dana White knew how much she loved WWE and because she was his 3rd biggest draw ever, but even with all that I remember he had to approve her segment since she was under UFC contract.
