It looks like the reigning WWE Universal Champion pBrock Lesnar is poised to step back inside the octagon.
As seen last night at UFC 226, Lesnar made his return to the UFC after the historic Champion vs. Champion Superfight that saw UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier defeat Stipe Miocic to become the new UFC World Heavyweight Champion.
After the epic knockout, Cormier called Lesnar into the cage. A shoving match ensued & the challenge was laid down.
According to a report from Jeremy Blotter from Bleacher Report, Cormier will fight Lesnar on November 3rd at UFC 230 in Madison Square Garden.
Lesnar officially entered the USADA drug testing pool and will have to take random drug tests from now until fight time & beyond. He still needs to serve a six-month suspension, but there’s no clarification from USADA on when he started the protocol. So, if he’s been in for a couple of months already, then he could be good to go by November.
If testing just started in July, Lesnar won’t be cleared to fight until January.
There’s no word on how this effects Lesnar’s WWE status moving forward. However, WWE provided full coverage of Lesnar’s UFC appearance last night on all social platforms. UFC President Dana White also stated that Vince McMahon is fully aware of everything that Lesnar is doing with the UFC.
