There have been rumors that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar could return to the Octagon after WrestleMania 31 and UFC president Dana White recently discussed "The Beast" possibly going to the rival Bellator MMA promotion.

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, White spoke with The Fight Network and said that Lesnar is legally able to talk to Bellator MMA since he doesn't have any fights left on his UFC deal.
There was speculation that Lesnar may not be able to talk with Bellator due to his past UFC contract, but that has been wiped away with the knowledge that "The Beast" doesn't have any UFC fights on his deal.

Bellator and UFC can't talk to Lesnar until March when his contract with the WWE is up. Lesnar has been rumored for a return to the Octagon when his WWE deal is up, but there is a possibility he opts to remain in wrestling on a part-time deal.
Lesnar is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, but he retired in 2011 after dealing with a bout of diverticulitis and he eventually resurfaced in the WWE in 2012 after an eight-year hiatus.
Lesnar is booked to face Roman Reigns in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship main event at WrestleMania 31 on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in California. It is likely that Lesnar will drop to the belt to Reigns at the biggest show of the year.
The WWE is working an injury storyline with Lesnar by saying that Seth Rollins broke his ribs during the Triple Threat Match with them and John Cena at the Royal Rumble on Jan. 25.
The company states that Rollins injured Lesnar when he elbowed him from the top rope through the announce table.
Lesnar is booked to appear on the March 30 edition of Monday Night RAW which is the night after WrestleMania 31, which is the last event he is under contract for.
There is expected to be a bidding war between Bellator, the UFC and the WWE for Lesnar's services after the "Show of Shows," but it's unknown what the future is for the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
