Brock Lesnar has proven again and again why someone should not mess with him. The Beast Incarnate has been a dominant and fierce star at both WWE and UFC. However, due to USADA, he received a suspension for a year for the use of performance-enhancing drugs. After his last bout in 2016, he never returned to UFC and only appeared in a part-time capacity at WWE. But with the latest news of UFC cutting ties with USADA, fans might be in a treat as they could see Lesnar go against a former UFC Fighter of the Year.

Could Brock Lesnar return to UFC?

On October 12th, 2023, Aron Bronstetar of TSN Sports took X (former Twitter) to share the news. According to the news, the UFC will sever its ties with USADA. USADA( the United States Anti-Doping Agency) is an organization charged with ensuring fairness in the sport. They look after the screening of performance-enhancing drugs, educating athletes, and rehabilitating them. Both organizations started working together in 2015, with their partnership coming to an end on January 1st, 2024.

During his time at UFC, Lesnar had a run-in with the organization. The former Heavyweight champion faced off against Mark Hunt at UFC 200. Although he came out as the winner, the match was overturned as a no-contest. It was later revealed that he tested positive for two banned performance-enhancing drugs and thus was suspended for a year.

With UFC cutting ties with USADA, there are chances that Lesnar’s return might be on the horizon. But there is a current UFC champion who is already waiting for him to come into the octagon. 

Brock Lesnar could go up against Jon Jones in a bout for the ages

Considered undefeated by fans, Jon Jones was a former light-heavyweight turned heavyweight UFC star. On multiple occasions, he showed his interest in fighting Lesnar. Jones holds a significant pull at the MMA promotion since he is currently the UFC Heavyweight champion. He even coined it as the “David and Goliath”– esque situation. It all began in 2017 when he openly challenged him for the first time. But considering the situation right now, there is a high possibility that the two legends might face off.

The major reason could be the merger of UFC and WWE. As both entities are under the TKO group, it opens up doors for cross-sport entertainment. The merger happened in September this year. Even though they are functioning individually, they are under the parent company. In the future, there are chances that the TKO group might open up to the possibility of ‘Dream Matches’ for fans. But fans have to wait for any official announcements as WWE is still adjusting to the new authority.
