Brock Lesnar was perhaps one of the few other hunters who was as big as a draw as Conor McGregor and when UFC 200 took a big hit, Lesnar was the one who was called.
When Brock Lesnar came to the UFC in 2008, it immediately became clear that he would be one of the biggest stars of the promotion because of his crossover of the WWE.
Shortly thereafter, Lesnar won the UFC-heavyweight title despite the fight of a life-threatening disease, which made him catapult himself in superstar with superstar.
After having regularly fought in the UFC of 2008-2011, the dominant wrestler took a five-year break in 2011 after a loss for Alistair Overeem. But in 2016 he received a call to save the historic UFC 200 event after it had a huge hit.

Brock Lesnar received $ 2.5 million to save the UFC 200 event after McGregor Retirement
The historic UFC 200 event was planned on July 9, 2016 and it was one of the largest events in the history of promotion, in which a huge milestone was celebrated.
Originally the event was planned by a huge rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz after Diaz had hit the monumental upset against the Irishman just a few months earlier.
Months of the event 'The Notorious', however, went to social media and announced his retirement of the sport and the UFC announced shortly thereafter that they were looking for a replacement.
A new rematch of the main event between Jones and Daniel Cormier was then booked, but a few days before the event was removed for the failure of a new drug test.
Fortunately, the UFC had already protected the Lesnar comeback against heavyweight Boogeyman, Mark Hunt in the Co-Main event.
At the start of the fight, both heavyweights were extremely hesitant to images too much or to throw something big, probably for fear of what would be thrown back.
Less than halfway through the opening round, Lesnar landed his first Takedown and again presented his dominant control. Round two was a much more passive round of the two, because only 10 significant strikes were thrown between the two.
In round three, however, the Canadian again dominated the hunt on the ground, rained heavy soil and pound and came close to the fight on various occasions.
The fight eventually went to the score cards and Lesnar took a unanimous decision gain, but only a week later we announced that the Canadian had violated the anti-doping policy and his victory was then overthrown into a no-match.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission published the Fighter Payouts after the event and Lesnar earned a basic wage of $ 2.5 million for its comeback.

That was the last time Lesnar stepped into the cage, even though he had continued to call on his comeback.
Nevertheless, the WWE superster was recently called by the world -famous Boxer Butterbean, who is looking for his return to fights after losing no less than 220 pounds.
