WWE announces Brock Lesnar re-signing; what does that mean for UFC return?

EXCLUSIVE: Well, Vince McMahon broke part of the news I had. Indeed, Brock Lesnar has resigned with WWE. But, from what I have been told by multiple sources, Lesnar signed a new multi-year deal AND will also be allowed to fight in the UFC as hes still under UFC contract.

Contd: Lesnar’s been under a UFC contract since the announcement was made he would face Mark Hunt at UFC 200. Lesnar’s WWE contract had options that would have expired in August but McMahon really wanted him to stay as he views him and Rousey as his two biggest attractions.

Contd: The plan is for Lesnar to fight one time this year vs the winner between Stipe Miocic-Daniel Cormier fight at UFC 226. Lesnar still has to formally reenter the USADA drug testing pool and finish his suspension which is around 6 months.
