UFC president Dana White ruled out the possibility of Brock Lesnar appearing for WWE during a press conference on Tuesday. "There was no wheeling and dealing about the WWE," White said. "I think everybody knows how I feel about that. He's under contract with me...

"It's very rare in this sport that we actually get to announce (stuff) that doesn't get announced before we announce it," White said. "I actually liked all the rumors going around." To read more on the story, visit MMAFighting.com.

Powell's POV: I'm still shocked that White talked Lesnar into appearing on The Ultimate Fighter. I never thought Lesnar would agree to give up so much time for the shoot. I wondered when the news broke is there was a chance that there was some sort of tradeoff with White letting Lesnar take the big money WrestleMania payoff in exchange for appearing on The Ultimate Fighter, but he's made it clear that is not the case.

Now that we know Lesnar's future, I'm more curious than ever to see what WWE can come up with for WrestleMania. Lesnar working a match would have sold the show. Does Vince McMahon have another celebrity up his sleeve? Will the buyrate take a major hit if he doesn't have something big in the works? It's going to be an interesting few months.
