For quite sometimes, there have been certain speculations that Brock Lesnar might leave WWE in the near future. Back in 2015, he renewed his WWE contract for three years which means that the deal will be up at one point, next year. The sources have already suggested that Wrestlemania 34 will mark the end of his stint but with the latest indications coming up, it might just get preponed.
An MMA fan posted on Twitter that Brock Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman was spotted at the UFC headquarters, recently. This was due to finalising a deal between the world’s top most MMA promotion and the beast incarnate which will come into effect in the near future.
The fans further noted that Brock Lesnar will be further tested by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to get back into MMA industry. Hence, at Summerslam, we can expect him to drop the Universal Championship to any prime Raw superstar and leave the biggest pro-wrestling promotion by the end of this year.
In case you don’t know, Lesnar was tested negative following his match against Mark Hunt at UFC 200. USADA banned him from competing in the Octagon for one year and withdrew his win in the match, also. This indicated a career-end for him in the MMA business. So, this latest ongoing is something quite different from the earlier thoughts.
Paul Heyman and Brock were at the UFC HQ during IFW. Had a meeting with the UFC brass. Brock’s return is eminent. Most likely at MSG on Nov4

I just had a 2nd person tell me that Brock Lesnar is back in the USADA testing pool. Rumor around WWE is Brock is dropping the belt at SS.

The twitter user further noted that the former UFC Champion is set to make his return to the promotion featuring in a show in the month of November. It will emanate from the world famous arena of Madison Square Garden on November 4th.
It is to be noted that to feature in a UFC fight, one should produce their sample to the USADA four months prior to the fight. So, the twitter user also noted that the beast is back on board with the organisation for the same reason so that he can compete in an MMA fight.
Nothing remotely close at this time. They could certainly use him, but not much there right now. https://t.co/qoMvyeqDWL

MMA journalist Arien Helwani further noted that there’s no confirmation on this news, for now. Even if the beast returns, there is not much capacity available in the promotion for him.
