Last night was loaded with things to watch for sports entertainment fans with New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 Special taking place in San Francisco, but at the same time the mixed martial arts world was focused on the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for UFC 226. The main event saw Daniel Cormier defeat Stipe Miocic to become the new UFC Heavyweight Champion, while also holding the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship at the same time.

Following the final bout, WWE Superstar and current Universal Champion Brock Lesnar made his way into the octagon, getting in Cormier’s face in what seemed to setup Lesnar’s long-rumored return to the fighting arena. During the post-event press conference, UFC President Dana White stated that ‘The Beast Incarnate’ has re-entered the USADA testing pool, revealing that Brock still has roughly 5-6 months remaining on his suspension stemming from a failed test in the lead-up to UFC 200 on July 9th, 2016.

Additionally, Cormier appeared on ESPN and stated that Lesnar had only re-entered the USADA testing pool the week prior, reaffirming that a possible fight against Brock can’t take place until 2019.
