USADA has confirmed the status of Brock Lesnar in their drug-testing pool.
The former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE universal champion was invited by Daniel Cormier into the cage after he was able to score a KO win over Stipe Miocic to win the UFC heavyweight title in the main event of Saturday’s (July 7, 2018) UFC 226 pay-per-view event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This led to Lesnar accepting the invitation and shoving Cormier in the process. He then called out the heavyweight division and told DC that he was coming for him, which was designed to start to the build for this upcoming fight.
Lesnar has competed just once inside of the cage since 2011. The former UFC champion holds notable wins over fighters such as Shane Carwin Randy Couture and Frank Mir.
Hard-hitting heavyweight star Mark Hunt is the last man to have fought Lesnar in the Octagon at UFC 200 in 2016. This marked Lesnar’s return to MMA after an almost five-year retirement.
As seen in the fight, Lesnar won a unanimous decision that night which was subsequently overturned when it was revealed he failed two USADA issued drug tests before the bout. This led to Hunt filing a civil suit against Lesnar and the UFC to settle his grievances.
Coming into this fight, there was speculation that Lesnar might show up to UFC 226 to call out the winner of this main event fight and that is exactly what happened.
Now, the big question is when Lesnar will get into the USADA drug-testing pool and the agency as given some insight into the situation.
A spokesperson for the agency confirmed to MMA Fighting that the former UFC heavyweight champion has started the process to get back in the USADA drug-testing pool.
With Lesnar back in the pool, he will still have to serve a little more than six months left of his previous suspension. Thus, he is not able to fight inside of the Octagon until January.
It should be noted that the spokesperson was not able to go into detail as to what Lesnar has done so far regarding beginning the process.

Daniel Cormier will not let the actions of Brock Lesnar at UFC 226 go unanswered.
Former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE universal champion Brock Lesnar made an appearance at this event and made it clear what his intentions were.
As seen in the main event of Saturday’s (July 7, 2018) UFC 226 pay-per-view event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cormier was able to score a KO win over Miocic to win the UFC heavyweight title.
Then, things got out of hand. Cormier invited Lesnar inside the Octagon with Lesnar accepting the invitation and shoving Cormier in the process.
Following the fight, DC gave his take on the situation and his upcoming fight with Lesnar that has yet to be made official. Keep in mind that no date for this fight has yet to be revealed as well.
”I run sprints before every fight, we find a hallway and I bust out as many sprints as I can to get my heartrate up,” Cormier said at the post-fight press conference (transcript courtesy of MMAMania). “As I was walking back into the arena I saw Brock Lesnar walking behind me so I’m like ‘Huh, what’s Brock Lesnar doing here,’ you know? And then when I’m in the Octagon waiting for Stipe he was standing there kind of smirking at me. So I was like ‘Oh, so I guess Brock Lesnar is here to pick a fight.’ So I called him out. I’ve known him for a long time, and I told him I’d kick his butt, and I will kick his butt when we fight.”
”I’ve known Brock since 1997, that’s why when he pushed me like that it was very odd,” Cormier said. “Brock and I wrestled in the 1998 Junior College finals together. I was 197, he was the heavyweight champ. Then when he was at Minnesota I was at Oklahoma State so we wrestled each other twice a year at duel meets, not against each other but the teams wrestle each other. And then when Brock was wrestling WWE, he was always great to me and my family. We go to the matches, he’d take pictures with my kids. I guess when you step in the Octagon, your emotions are raised a little bit.”
Cormier has made it clear that he wants to hang up his gloves by March 20th, 2019, the day he turns 40 years old. Thus, the reason he believes that he can only accept two fights before then.
He has gone on record by stating that he wants to fight Lesnar, which appears to be in the works, as well as trilogy fight against Jon Jones.
In the post-fight presser, UFC President Dana White said the heat between Lesnar and Cormier came from their amateur wrestling days. However, DC has a different take on their relationship.
”You got a guy like Brock Lesnar in front of you and you don’t go crazy on him? Are you crazy?” Cormier said. “When Brock decided to step into the Octagon with me, he’s a pro wrestler, he does fake fighting. So I’ll do fake fighting with you until I put my fist upside your face. I’ll do fake fighting with you, Brock, and then I’ll punch you upside the head.”
”Brock Lesnar is the champion of the WWE, so when he comes over here there’s no script,” he said later. “There’s no Vince McMahon saying ‘DC, lay easy on the punches!’ There’s no Braun Strowman that, when Brock punches him hard on purpose, isn’t going to respond. The moment Brock Lesnar punches me, I’m going to get in his *** and I’m gonna have him running across that Octagon like a lot of those other dudes did.”
“So he can be big and bad and tough right now, but when that cage door closes he’s going to have to answer for his words, and he’s definitely going to answer for that shove.”

Stipe Miocic has given his reaction to his loss to Daniel Cormier.
As seen in the main event of Saturday’s (July 7, 2018) UFC 226 pay-per-view event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cormier was able to score a KO win over Miocic to win the UFC heavyweight title, which marks history as Cormier is now a two-division champion.
Following the fight, the former UFC heavyweight champion spoke with the media about the loss.
As expected, Miocic handled it with class and he made no excuses as to why he didn’t win this super fight.
“I lost, plain and simple,” Miocic told reporters, including MMAjunkie, during UFC 226’s post-event press conference. “There are no excuses. He was the better man tonight. … It sucks. Losing’s not fun at all. It sucks. But to put this in perspective, I look at it, and I’m going home right now. My beautiful wife is having my child. There are better things in life than losing.
“It sucks. I want to come back and get a rematch of course, but listen, right now, it’s ‘DC’s’ day. Good for him.”
Miocic did bring up the fact that before the knockout, he thought he was winning the fight as he thinks he was landing some good shots and backing DC up. However, at the end of the day, he didn’t get the job done.
“I think I was winning that fight,” he said. “I was wearing him down, held him against the cage. I was hitting him with some good shots. It was going back and forth, I was backing him up a lot more and he caught me with a right hand. It was a good shot. What are you going to do? It’s part of the game. Heavyweights. I say it all the time.”
“I’m going to go home,” Miocic said. “That’s all I care about right now. Listen, I know what you guys want to hear what’s next? Of course I want a rematch. There’s no question, but right now, I’ve got bigger fish to fry. I’ve got my daughter on the way. That’s a battle I’ve got to win.”
