Brock Lesnar’s WWE run is no more and the Beast Incarnate has his sights set for a UFC return.
It was last month that Lesnar was sporting a new physique as he lost a lot of weight. Lesnar dropped the Universal title to Roman Reigns and is now focused on making his MMA return. While it’s been speculated that Lesnar will face Daniel Cormier in the near future no paperwork has been signed making the fight official.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the Lesnar and Cormier fight has not been made official yet. Lesnar is preparing to face Cormier in the year to come but the bout will not be Cormier’s next fight. Cormier is expected to defend the UFC Light Heavyweight championship before facing Lesnar.
While it is too early to predict when Lesnar vs. Cormier will take place, there has been speculation that the bout will take place during NFL Superbowl weekend, Saturday, February 2nd.
Another factor that could stop the fight from happening altogether is that Lesnar is still apart of the USADA drug testing pool and must pass all mandatory drug tests in order to be eligible to fight Cormier. Not to mention that Lesnar still has a little over four months left of his suspension remaining.
Dropping the title to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam this year was Lesnar’s final contractual obligation to the WWE. It’s been stated that the door is open for Lesnar in making a return but Lesnar’s goal right now is making his UFC comeback.
