WWE news: HUGE Brock Lesnar update ahead of Money in the Bank - Will he take title to UFC?
BROCK LESNAR could show up at UFC with the Universal Championship.
Rumours suggest that Lesnar may leave WWE after SummerSlam on August 19 to return to Dana White’s promotion for another stint in the Octagon.
According to Ringside News, Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer doesn’t expect The Beast to leave but also thinks he could easily show up at a UFC event with a WWE belt.
Alvarez said: “I don’t expect him to leave, however Brock Lesnar isn’t scheduled for Money in the Bank, he’s not scheduled for Extreme Rules, and apparently, as of right now, he’s not even scheduled for SummerSlam.
“Although the working idea is it would be everybody’s favourite match: Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns at SummerSlam one more time.

I mean, Lesnar could easily show up at a UFC event
“So we’ll see what they end up doing. I mean, Lesnar could easily show up at a UFC event.
“He has 16 days left to re-enter into the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) pool in order to fight before the end of the year.”
Lesnar’s last fight in the Octagon took place at UFC 200 where he beat Mark Hunt via unanimous decision.
His victory, however, was overturned to a no contest following the discovery that he'd failed drug tests before and after the landmark card.

If the five-time world champion wishes to return to the Octagon he will first have to re-enter USADA’s testing pool by June 30 in order to make himself eligible for random drug testing.
If the UFC legend fails to do so then a return to Dana White’s promotion will be very unlikely and he may stay in WWE after all.
The ex-UFC Heavyweight Champion must present six months worth of clean drug tests if he wishes to fight at UFC by New Year’s Eve.
