Lesnar returning to UFC

Lesnar appeared at UFC 226 last night and shoved the new champion Cormier in a challenge. It's been confirmed that he will be fighting Cormier for the title in November.

WWE even put up a post about it.

We don't know who the next challenger for Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship will be, but we do know his upcoming opponent - UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier.

Cameras caught Lesnar cageside for the main event of UFC 226 between UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic and challenger Daniel Cormier.

After Cormier knocked Miocic out in the first round to become both the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and UFC Heavyweight Champion, he called out Lesnar and invited him into the octagon. Brock immediately shoved the new champ across the cage before delivering a profanity-laden tirade on the microphone.

Later in the night, during the post-show press conference, UFC President Dana White confirmed that Cormier vs. Lesnar would be happening in the future. He added that no date had been set.

Speculation has run rampant over Lesnar’s future for much of this year, starting with Lesnar posing for photos next to White on the night of WWE Elimination Chamber 2018. Lesnar last competed in UFC in July 2016.

What's interesting about this is that Lesnar was banned for 2 years after his last fight, but he retired after that was was no longer classed as active. It becomes active once he's back in the USADA testing pool as an "active" fighter... so he must have rejoined that a long time ago and kept quiet about it. I saw rumours a few months ago saying how he wanted to return but it would be difficult because of the suspension... turns out they just did a real good job of not letting anyone know that he was "active" again and training for his UFC return already.

I also like how Lesnar is actually good enough to just walk into a title match.
