This is not only Lesnar's biggest UFC payday but the highest guaranteed pay for any UFC fighter in history. Conor McGregor was previously guaranteed $1 million in March for UFC 196.
Lesnar will also receive money for pay-per-view sales.
Lesnar already got paid more guaranteed $ than Conor friggin McGregor, who is by all means a much bigger draw to the sport than Lesnar, so why wouldn't Lesnar be handed a title shot after 1 win against the #8 guy? It's all about $ so if a Lesnar title shot would generate enough buzz, then they would more than likely hand it to him for his next fight. There's no way in Hell his match against Hunt was a 1 off fight. I don't care what the WWE says! Brock is not finished in the UFC. IF WWE won't let him until his current contract is up (which only includes a few dates and not full time) then I can see Brock getting out of it by paying it off, or simply not giving a shit and quitting and taking on the lawsuit, but really all he would have to do is show up for the x amount of shows the contract says he has to make and be done. Either way, I'm pretty sure he wants back in the UFC more than ever since he beat Hunt and is healthy this time around.
