After
his appearance at UFC 226 the USADA has given us an idea of when Brock Lesnar
can return to the Octagon. The organization issued a statement that confirmed is
back in their testing pool and will be eligible to fight again on January 8,
2019 if he passes all their requirements: "After receiving notice of his intent
to compete in the UFC, Brock Lesnar re-entered the testing pool on July 3. With
six months and four days remaining on his period of ineligibility, Lesnar will
be able to compete on or after January 8, 2019, should he remain in compliance
with the UFC Anti-Doping Policy." He had gotten suspended for a year after his
UFC 200 fight against Mark Hunt for drug violations. The suspension went into
limbo when he retired from MMA. UFC President Dana White has confirmed that the
UFC will be set up a fight between current heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier when
Lesnar is able to fight again. Cormier also holds the light heavyweight title
and may fight Shogun Rua. Cormier had made it clear he will retire nest year at
the age of 40. Lesnar’s last WWE fight was against Roman Reigns at Summer Slam
(where he dropped the Universal belt) and in my opinion his only UFC fight will
be against Cormier and he will return to the WWE afterwards. |
