Brock Lesnar flagged for an anti-doping violation before UFC 200

The Beast Incarnate hasn’t said much about his future plans in mixed martial arts, other than “Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to do”. Nah, us neither. Between the two-sport champion’s thunderous return at UFC 200 and his upcoming SummerSlam dream match against the returning Randy Orton, we’re already deep into the summer of Lesnar.

The 38-year-old native of Webster, South Dakota made a triumphant return to the Octagon after almost 6 years as he outclassed Hunt in the co-headliner of UFC 200, winning a unanimous decision of 29-27 on all 3 scorecards. Certainly he helps UFC, banking on Brock Lesnar’s name in the very beginning of him becoming a UFC star and showing his dominance in it. And now it’s the same thing, back and forth. I think that this talent has massive potential.

Lesnar, who returned to the Octogon after nearly 5 years away on July 9th in at UFC 200, is now considered an active member of the UFC roster and thus falls under the USADA jurisdiction, as well as the UFC anti doping policy.

The purses are the disclosed pay packets of the fighters and do not include win and performance bonuses that the UFC may give to individual fighters.

A Brock Lesnar main event card for a belt would bring in millions of dollars to the UFC, and everyone knows that money talks when it comes to Dana White.

The heavyweight division has changed a lot since Lesnar’s last stint with the promotion, but there are plenty of challenges that might interest him if he fights again. He is set to fight Alistair Overeem, who is on a four-fight win streak, and also holds a win over Lesnar back in 2011. It should be noted that Lesnar won the heavyweight title in 2008 in just his second fight in the UFC and had a record of 1-1.

Hunt was able to hit Lesnar with some good overhands but Lesnar was smart enough to keep the distance and look for a different opportunity to shoot.
