Jim Ross says don?t expect Brock Lesnar to appear in WWE in 2012

Maybe Dana White has nothing to worry about over the next 12 months when it comes to Brock Lesnar's contractual status.

Wrestling guru and friend of Lesnar, Jim Ross says the recently retired MMA fighter won't appear in a wrestling ring this year for several reasons:

[...] Brock dislikes, putting it mildly, traveling. Plus, he doesn't need the money even though he's smart enough to not turn down a big payday if the lay of the land is to his liking. That's why the UFC thing was good for him because he could earn big money by traveling 2-3 times per year to fight.

I could see Brock doing a major, one off WWE appearance ala a Wrestlemania, but not this year, and doing so while not even making the live Raw events that lead into it. I could also see WWE traveling to Brock to shoot vignettes to build whatever match that he might be booked.

Ross absolutely wipes out any thought of Lesnar making a major return to wrestling.

For fans who think that Lesnar will return to make a significant amount of TV dates only and then only work a handful or so of PPV's, I hate to burst your bubble, but in my opinion that simply isn't happening.

White wasn't ready to answer questions about Lesnar's possible return to wrestling, but he sounded amenable to working out something with his biggest PPV star.

When you retire, he retires under contract. I have no idea (how long the contract is). Listen, I've had my moments with Brock Lesnar but I've had a great relationship with him and we'll figure it out, no big deal. Never had a situation with a guy where we haven't done the right thing."

Fuel TV will be the home for ?The Ultimate Fighter Brazil?

Following his fight next week at UFC 142, Vitor Belfort will join Wanderlei Silva to begin taping for "The Ultimate Fighter Brazil." Dana White confirmed that American fans can watch Belfort, Silva and the show on Fuel TV.

"Nobody knows this yet and it's the first time it's being told. And to be honest with you the deal isn't 100 percent done yet, but I'm so confident it's going to happen, I'll give it to you guys ... The Ultimate Fighter Brazil' will air on Fuel TV," White told ESPN1100/98.9 FM in Las Vegas. "All this unique content that we're doing in these other parts of the world, Fuel TV is going to take."

White explained why the promotion needed a channel that could take more of its programming.

"The UFC has so much content. Even Spike, if you look at what a huge percentage of their programming that we used to be, we still needed more," White said. "We need more, more, more. We have all these things we're working on."

The UFC president realizes that Fuel TV isn't available everywhere (36 millions homes vs. 100+ with Spike and FX) so fans will have to make a decision.

"If you're a UFC fan, you really love your UFC, it's impossible not to have Fuel," White said. "What happens is, UFC fans have to make hard decisions, and they want it in HD and cable doesn't have it in HD you're gonna have to switch to DirecTV, or Comcast is going to have to carry it."

White lobbed a shot the way of cable networks that don't carry Fuel TV.

"If you don't have it [UFC fans will] go to where it is," White said. "Really the only option for people who don't have it on Comcast or Time Warner, they can switch and go to DirecTV tomorrow and have it."
