Brock Lesnar’s Future Plans
Lesnar’s UFC status still hinges on him re-entering the USADA drug testing pool. However, the plan for him would be just a single fight this year. That is because he still needs to finish his suspension handed down after his fight with Mark Hunt. It was said that Lesnar’s previous WWE deal had options that would have expired in August, but Vince McMahon views him as a top attraction and wanted to keep him in WWE.
