Brock Lesnar officially returns at UFC 200

Former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar will return from retirement at UFC 200 against a yet to be determined opponent.

UFC officials announced the return of Lesnar during the UFC 199 broadcast.

Lesnar (5-3) ended his UFC career in 2011 after riding a two-fight losing skid. He won the heavyweight championship at UFC 91 against Randy Couture and went on to defend it twice, against Frank Mir and Shane Carwin.

The former WWE Champion lost his title to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 in 2010 and went on to lose his final fight in the Octagon against Alistair Overeem at UFC 141.
