Last July, in the co-main event of the stacked UFC 200, former UFC heavyweight champion and long-time WWE star Brock Lesnar made a return to the Octagon after a hiatus of many years. He did so against Mark Hunt for a substantial $2.5 million payday.<\/p>\n
Lesnar would win this fight, relying on his wrestling to capture a dominant unanimous decision win. Unfortunately, he tested positive for the banned substance clomiphene shortly thereafter, and his win over Hunt was overturned.<\/p>\n
Given that Lesnar’s UFC 200 return had been labelled a “one-off” from the get-go, the possibility of his taking another fight in the Octagon seemed unlikely. When he tested positive and was dealt a suspension, the chances of the 40-year-old returning to the cage for another fight seemed almost non-existent.<\/p>\n
\u201cI doubt it,\u201d UFC President White told TMZ of another Lesnar comeback back in December<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know how much longer he\u2019s got with WWE. I think his career is winding down. But he\u2019s a freak of nature, so who knows? Maybe he\u2019ll give me a call and say he wants to do it again, but I think he\u2019s ready to ride off into the sunset.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yet according to a report from Twitter user @Talk_MMA, who has broken his share of big news in the past, a Lesnar return to the Octagon is “imminent.”<\/p>\n
\nPaul 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<\/p>\n
