Brock Lesnar's UFC return is anticipated by none other than UFC president Dana White, as the company executive shared his interest to see how the former heavyweight champion would perform now that he is back at 100%.

Talks about Brock Lesnar's UFC comeback have been abuzz as of late, as many people share mixed feelings about the said matter. According the fighter's manager Paul Heyman, a return for the former champ may be possible now that he holds a clean bill of health.

"If a change of circumstance happens, and it's a no-brainer to get Brock back into the cage, I'm sure it's something he would consider," Heyman said in a previous interview. "At this moment, it's not a topic of conversation because things are going so well in WWE."

Former World Wrestling Entertainment analyst turned prizefighting commentator Jim Ross shares the same sentiment.

"I see no reason he couldn't have the potential to return to the UFC and sell pay-per-views," Ross said in an interview with FOX Sports.

The one person who has shown pessimism about the possibility of Brock Lesnar's UFC return is former adversary and interim champion Shane Carwin, who believes that there is no more room for improvement for the former undisputed champ.

"He's not going to improve the part of his game he needs to improve in that short (amount) of time," Carwin said. "The guys these days are too far ahead. You can't be one-dimensional. This isn't the early '90s."

UFC President Dana White, however, is one of the few people who believe that Lesnar could make an Octagon return. The company executive revealed his interest in seeing his former fighter perform with a clean bill of health and back at 100%.

"It's pretty amazing what he did and accomplished here while having diverticulitis," White said during this week's edition of The Download. "It would be interesting to see a 100 percent healthy Brock Lesnar compete."
