Lesnar, who is under a part-time contract with the WWE and hasn't appeared on television for the organization since the Sept. 21 Night of Champions pay-per-view, may opt to return to UFC when his stint with the WWE is over with.

"I have a great relationship with Brock, we talk all the time," White told UFC.com. "I don't know, we'll see. If he wants to fight, he knows my number. It's pretty amazing what he did and accomplished here while having diverticulitis. It would be interesting to see a 100 percent healthy Brock Lesnar compete."
Lesnar retired from the MMA world in 2011 amid his battle with diverticulitis and made a return to the WWE in 2012 after an eight-year hiatus.
Lesnar made headlines in the squared circle this year after he was booked to defeat The Undertaker and end The Streak at April's WrestleMania XXX and then again when he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from John Cena at SummerSlam on Aug. 17.
There are rumors that the WWE has big plans for Lesnar for 2015 as he is reportedly going to face Cena again at the Royal Rumble in January and possibly Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31 on March 29, 2015 in California.
It's unknown if Lesnar is open to a return to UFC, but if he opts to come back to the Octagon, White seemingly would have him back.
