WWE Universal Champ Brock Lesnar being at UFC 226 to set-up his return to MMA

Rumors started flying earlier on Sat. night (July 7) that Brock Lesnar’s UFC return would kick off at UFC 226 in Las Vegas.

The speculation is he will be announced as the next challenger for the winner of the main event, a Heavyweight Title fight between champion Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier (who’s been mentioned as a “dream” match-up for Brock in the Octagon on several occassions in the past). He is definitely in T-Mobile Arena if they want to set-up that fight later tonight:

While we wait to see if he gets in the cage to staredown either Miocic or DC, and what that means about his USADA testing status and his remaining suspension time, we can tell you that WWE is hyping his appearance there:

No word on if he’ll carry Vince McMahon’s red belt to his next MMA fight. Or when he’ll return to a WWE ring.

One prominent rumor is he’ll fight in November, which would mean he quietly re-entered the testing pool around WrestleMania 34.
