Brock Lesnar had the perfect response when Dana White struggled 10 years ago.
At that time, 'The Beast Incarnate' had completed his first run in MMA's most important promotion.
Successive knockout losing to Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem had sent him back to the WWE.
Brock Lesnar, however, was forced to talk about his old UFC boss after he had made pro -sausage fans angry by rejecting the sport as a 'fake' in a viral social media post.

Brock Lesnar responds to the 'fake' remark of Dana White
In August 2015, Lesnar was asked to respond to White's thoughts about the WWE during an interview.
The multisport legend gave a refreshing honest answer that everyone who heard it shocked.
“Well, of course, Dana, it's fake,” Lesnar told Sports Center.
“Everyone knows that, but it is still the same. You promote the same as what we promote.
“Dana White promotes fights, we promote fights. It just happens that we get a little more lifespan from our fight and get out of our hunters because of the circumstances.
“It is a staged arena, everyone knows that. If you can't play WWE on Monday evening and get something out of that show and get entertained, something is wrong with you.
“Dana, probably, in defense, promotes fight-but it is the same. He tries to sell pay-per-views. He tries to sell money. It is the same racket.”
“It is absolutely non-eveted, absolutely. I mean, the business model is the same. It is identical, and I think Vince [McMahon] Is there better than Dana, and Dana can rub it in the wrong direction. “
Will Brock Lesnar ever return to the UFC?
White's comments were not enough to prevent Lesnar from working with him again.
The former UFC champion heavyweight was reduced for a fight with Mark Hunt in 2016.
Lesnar took a routine unanimous decision victory over 'The Super Samoan' on UFC 200.
However, the result was later destroyed to a no-contest after Lesnar had not passed a drug test.
Almost 11 years later, Lesnar no longer fought in MMA, but there is still a different comeback.
Last year White was forced to tackle the future of the WWE icon in the midst of rumors about a return to UFC 300.
“I think Brock is ready. I don't think he will ever come back,” said the UFC CEO.
At the age of 47 it seems certain that we will never see Lesnar in the UFC -Oachthoek again.
