World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Superstar and former heavyweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Brock Lesnar, is at a crossroads as his wrestling contract is coming to an end.

According to commentator Jim Ross, he told Fox Sports that Lesnar's contract with the WWE is ending by March, after the biggest stage of them all, Wrestlemania 31.

Lesnar must make his decision: should he stay with the WWE, should he try his hand at UFC once again, or should he just walk away from both and call it a career well spent?

Ross' comments to Fox Sports indicated that Lesnar could go anywhere.

From a strategic standpoint, he is doing rather well in the WWE. The management needs to know if he will stay or not so they can utilize him correctly.

However, Ross also points out that Lesnar looks much healthier than he has ever looked.

"He looks phenomenal strength-wise. He's just scary looking," he says. "He's more scary looking than he was before he left [WWE the first time]." It seems to Good ol' J.R. that Lesnar is back on track.

Seeing this, he believes that Lesnar has no problem on returning to the UFC and does what he does best: sell pay-per-views (PPV).

According to a recent report by The Sports Business Journal, Lesnar is the biggest draw of the UFC, drawing an average of more than 1,000,000 PPV buys per event due to his imposing physique and undeniable achievements.

Lesnar's achievements in the UFC are indeed the stuff of legends. Fighting seven out of eight of his fights in the UFC, he had claimed the UFC heavyweight championship after only two fights in the organization.

However, Ross is quick to point out that money and fighting aren't the only things that Lesnar wants.

Ross says that he likes to be with his family and spend time with his sons.

"He's the kind of guy that can say, 'I'm done with all of it.'"
