Brock Lesnar back in USADA testing pool (maybe?) as UFC return rumors swirl

[nuraknu]

Brock Lesnar is quietly back in the USADA testing pool for UFC, meaning that rumors about him potentially returning to fight have some substance.

Rumors broke today claiming that Lesnar and Paul Heyman were at the UFC offices over International Fight Week and talking about him fighting in Madison Square Garden on November 4th. That date would be impossible because Lesnar had a one-year suspension for two failed drug tests for Hydroxy-Clomiphene which dates back to his final positive test on July 9th.

Lesnar's one-year suspension was frozen in mid-February, meaning that he has five months left, putting a return to UFC competition at mid-December at the earliest.

The thing he doesn't say is how he confirmed that Brock is back in the testing pool...so idk.

 

[The Big Guy]

Maybe the reem gets his wish to fight brock again

Lesnar can't beat none of the top 5...hell he couldn't beat Curtis Blaydes imho.. but he does numbers so he probably fight Olenick since he's on a little streak and a winnable fight for Brock

The same Blaydes who looked terrible a couple weeks ago? Brock destroys him. I don't think he beats top 5 but let's not act like he didn't son Mark hunt in his last fight.

Thought this dude as suspended for years? Anyone care to explain?

I think upon unretiring he still has five months left on suspension, but that can be concurrent with his time rejoining the testing pool, since people are still tested by USADA while on suspension.

Mark Hunt must be somewhere losing his shit right about now.

@ErikMagraken - could lesnars return affect Hunts lawsuit any (in his favor)?

Suspended from UFC 200 just like Jones. By the time UFC books Brock vs stipe at msg on nov 4th it will be over.

After a life-threatening bout of diverticulitis. Brock is a freak of nature and we should all celebrate the possibility of him fighting again.

Pretty dismissive statement of a guy that easily beat Mark Hunt in his last fight.

I would favor Stipe, Cain and Reem over him, but you would have to give him a good chance vs anyone else, including Werdum.

yes, agree with you a lot lately which is of grave concern, but tough to argue

Brocks hands aren't a big threat and he won't take Blaydes down like he does other non wrestlers..Blaydes didn't look the greatest from a stand point of his potential but Brock is no spring chicken... let's see how this plays out

Werdum will sub him or possibly drop him and hurt him...Lesnar isn't beating Ngannou and probably not jds...He is a stylistic nightmare for some but if you can negate his takedowns like reem and Cain it's only a matter of time before he starts turtling

Mark hunt isn't top 5 and is a perfect stylistic match up for Brock.

Let's not look pass the Fact he was Juiced to the Gills.

Dick pills, bro. Honest mistake.

So what? Brock has a lot of money, he can find ways to juice again.

Maybe. Or maybe not. I agree about Cain and Reem but remember Brock had to fight full Ubereem coming off stomach AIDS, he's healthier now and Reem is on far less horse meat. JDS is finished, I could definitely see Brock beating him and its too early to start giving Ngannou theoretical walkovers against guys like Brock.

People also seem to forget that he and JBJ popped for the same thing. JBJ went to USADA, explained his side of the story. They said "That's legit, thanks for clearing things up. Now here's your suspension." I'm not sure why people are surprised the guy who was already doing other shit with his life wouldn't bother going to "explain" himself.

 

[Enock-O-Lypse Now!]

Brock Lesnar would take anyone he faces in the UFC / Bellator to Suplex City!.....that is not even a question.


I contribute Brock's losses to Cain and Overeem to Octagon Butterflies, but now that he has removed all those little butterflies from his Tummy he is back and ready to ATTACK!!!!
