Despite the rumors that Brock Lesnar is being advertised for the highly anticipated NBA draft, he will not take part in the exciting event after all.

Wrestling Inc. warns fans not to believe the reports primarily because they come from the same source that is spreading false rumors about the Royal Rumble.

WWE is not advertising Lesnar on its shows just yet as the company does not want to take the attention away from his upcoming UFC bout against Mark Hunt on July 9.

Lesnar will be back in the Octagon on what is billed to be a one-time stint. However, The Beast Incarnate's manager Paul Heyman believes that Lesnar will be back for more UFC thrills.

"I know Brock really wanted to step into the Octagon and have fun competing because to him that's the greatest feeling in the world," Heyman told Fox Sports.

"I make no predictions whether this is a one and done and then it's on to SummerSlam and continue on his career in WWE or whether he will continue to fight in UFC while performing in WWE," he went on to say, emphasizing that Lesnar is "not giving up WWE" for UFC.

However, should the fighter want to continue his UFC career, Heyman believes that Lesnar will be able to eventually hold titles for both WWE and UFC.

"He's the only being on the planet that could possibly even consider making that accomplishment happen," Heyman said of what ought to be a historic feat.

After his fight with Hunt, Lesnar will be back in WWE for SummerSlam this August 21. Since the WWE brand split is happening soon, it's worth mentioning where the esteemed fighter will be included.

According to Bleacher Report, it will be best for Lesnar, considered a money-maker of a fighter, to be in SmackDown if WWE wants the show to be a hit.

Being one of the most respected and popular WWE superstars, Lesnar will definitely draw legions of fans to watch SmackDown.
