Brock Lesnar, a former UFC heavyweight champion and current
WWE star, informed the UFC that he is retiring from MMA. He was given a one-year
suspension last month by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) that was
retroactive to July 15, 2016 for multiple drug failures stemming from his UFC
200 fight with Mark Hunt. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) also
suspended Lesnar for one-year retroactive to July 9, the date of the fight, and
fined him $250,000. He retired once before in 2011 because of complications with
the digestive condition diverticulitis and rejoined WWE in 2012. If he does
return he has to finish out his suspension. |
