Dana White Says Brock Lesnar Regrets How His UFC Career Ended, Calls Potential Return A 'Definite Possibility'

VIA: For those fans left grasping for a sliver of hope to once again see former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar once again grace the Octagon, it's Dana White to the rescue.

According to White, Lesnar regrets his MMA flameout and a potential return to the sport is a "definite possibility."

"Me and Brock talk. I said recently Brock feels like ... he said he has some regrets with MMA because he wasn't healthy. He was going through those stomach problems the whole time he was here. So he has regrets."

Rumor's of a potential Lesnar comeback were revived earlier this month when Lance Pugmire of the LA Times claimed White was 'talking' to Lesnar, but would not release any further details until some sort of agreement was signed. The reports were largely discredited as being nothing more than an attempt by Lesnar to garner publicity for an upcoming appearance for a professional wrestling event.

A longtime sufferer of diverticulitis, Lesnar was plagued with health issues throughout his entire UFC career. According to White, Lesnar feels he was only competing nowhere near his true potential, hamstrung by his debilitating disease.

"It's interesting. He became champion with diverticulitis. What would he have done without it? From the first day he fought in the UFC until his last fight he was suffering from it. He never felt right. He just didn't know why and then it really hit him. He feels like he was fighting here at 40 percent.

"He thinks a Brock Lesnar that was 100 percent could have done much better. I told him, 'you're out of your f***ing mind. You came in here with one fight and became the heavyweight champion.' It was fun having Brock here."

Lesnar officially hung it up in 2011 following back-to-back knockout losses to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141 and Cain Velasquez at UFC 121. Prior to that he had managed to string together four consecutive wins over Shane Carwin, Frank Mir, Randy Couture and Heath Herring, in that order.

"So he has some regrets. Would he like to fight again? I'm sure he would. We'll see how this whole thing plays out. It's definitely a possibility."

When asked if he would ever be interested in sharing Lesnar with the WWE in some capacity, White's remained coy as ever. "You never know."
