UFC says second Brock Lesnar sample also tested positive for banned substance

UFC announced Tuesday that Lesnar's "in-competition sample collection from July 9, 2016, at UFC 200, has tested positive for the same substance as his previously announced out-of-competition collection on June 28, 2016."
