UFC Denies That Brock Lesnar Has Re-Entered USADA Testing Pool

It was reported earlier today that Brock Lesnar has re-entered the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) testing pool, a requirement for fighting in MMA, in order to keep his options open when his WWE contract expires after WrestleMania 34 and signaling that he’s considering a return to UFC.

Though this has seemingly been confirmed by several credible sources, the UFC is now denying that Lesnar has re-entered the USADA pool, according to MMA Junkie, telling the MMA website that there is “zero truth” to the reports.

UFC Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance Jeff Novitzky also told MMA Junkie:

“(Lesnar) is not currently enrolled in the USADA testing pool, nor has there been any inquiry on his part to do so.”

However, this obviously could just mean that he hasn’t officially enrolled yet, and will be doing so soon.

The UFC’s anti-doping policy requires fighters to be available for testing for at least six months before returning to competition. Lesnar’s WWE contract expires well past that, but that seems to kill the rumor that Lesnar could come back for a UFC fight in November at MSG.

According to the UFC policy, retired fighters who want to return to competition “must tell the UFC, in writing, that they want to start competing again. After notifying the UFC, they need to be available for testing for at least six months before returning to competition.”
