Brock Lesnar has been subjected to his first drug test since putting the wheels in motion to make a return to the UFC for a heavyweight title fight with Daniel Cormier.
Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC), a former UFC heavyweight champ and current WWE Universal titleholder, will not be eligible to compete inside the octagon until Jan. 8, 2019, after he serves the final six months of his current U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) suspension. That six-month period coincides with the testing period an athlete coming out of retirement must serve before fighting.
After re-entering the testing pool on July 3, Lesnar provided his first sample to USADA this week, according to the latest update on the “Athlete Test History” section of the company website.
