The former UFC heavyweight champion has started the process to get back in the USADA drug-testing pool, an agency spokesperson confirmed with MMA Fighting on Saturday night. UFC president Dana White first mentioned it at the UFC 226 post-fight press conference.
Lesnar was called out by new UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier after Cormier defeated Stipe Miocic in the UFC 226 main event here at T-Mobile Arena. When Lesnar is officially back in the drug-testing pool, he’ll still have a little more than six months left of his previous suspension, which means he would not be able to enter the Octagon until at least January.
