Even after being caught in different anti-doping tests at the time of his fight at UFC 200, last month, Brock Lensar is still considering the possibility of one day returning to compete in professional MMA.
At 39 years old, Lesnar failed tests due to the use of estrogen blockers. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) provides for a two-year punishment for anyone who commits an irregularity. Even so, Lesnar believes that one day he will be able to fight in the UFC again. “To the fans who saw me in the Octagon, I thank you for your support. This has been a turbulent path, but I will get through it all okay. And there will be a day, perhaps, when they will see me back in the octagon”, he said, in an interview with the website “TMZ Sports”.
However, given the impossibility of this happening in the near future, Lesnar focuses on his pro-wrestling career. “I have to go through some challenges before going back there [to the UFC]. I don't know. Right now, I'm going to focus on my WWE career. I wanted to return to the octagon and avenge my defeat to diverticulitis. Now I face Randy Orton at SummerSlam and that’s what I have in mind,” he revealed.
At UFC 200, Lesnar returned to MMA after more than four years away and won Mark Hunt in the judges' decision. However, due to the positive anti-doping test, the victory must be annulled.
