Lesnar defended his title twice, but dropped it to Cain Velasquez. After losing his fight against Overeem, he retired from MMA. He suffered many health issues during his time with the promotion and a severe case of diverticulitis. The former heavyweight champion made a return to the UFC in 2016 against Mark Hunt. He won the fight via a unanimous decision. But the result was later overturned to a no-contest after Lesnar was found guilty of using PEDs.
