Though he was able to defeat Mark Hunt at UFC 200, it appears that the Beast has been conquered by USADA.

On Friday afternoon, the UFC released a statement saying that Brock Lesnar had been flagged by the anti-doping organization because of a possible out of competition violation.

The sample was taken on June 28th according to Lance Pugmire of the LA Times. The UFC received word that Lesnar had been flagged on July 14th.

It is not clear what caused the failure or what this will mean for Lesnar’s mixed martial arts career going forward, other than a possible two-year suspension if Lesnar failed for performance-enhancing drugs.

Lesnar wouldn’t commit to fighting again after defeating Hunt, but said that it was the most fun he has had in a while.

Lesnar successfully made his return to MMA after a five-year layoff against Hunt at what the UFC was hoping would be their biggest event in history. He is still scheduled to face Randy Orton at SummerSlam in August as of now.

There is no indication what impact, if any, this violation could have on Lesnar’s professional wrestling career. If the WWE did choose to punish him, it would likely be a 30-day suspension for a first violation, which means that Lesnar could be back in time for SummerSlam.
