Brock Lesnar Re-Enters USADA Testing Pool
Brock Lesnar showed up at UFC 226 this past Saturday and was invited into the Octagon by Daniel Cormier. Lesnar proceeded to shove the new UFC Heavyweight Champion and cut a promo ripping the UFC Heavyweight Division.
"I walked into this building and watched the Heavyweight disasters from the beginning," Lesnar said. "Ngannou's a piece of s–t, Miocic, the piece of s–t, DC... I'm coming for you motherf–ker."
After the incident, UFC President Dana White said that the company was "definitely going to make that fight."
ESPN's Brett Okamoto reports that Lesnar has re-entered the USADA testing pool in preparation for another fight. According to MMAJunkie.com, Lesnar re-joined the USADA testing pool on July 3rd.
