Brock Lesnar made his UFC return in 2016 for UFC 200. He defeated Mark Hunt via unanimous decision, but the fight was later overturned to a no-contest due to failed drug tests. Now, documents have emerged that prove that Lesnar was allowed to fight Hunt despite the UFC knowing that ‘The Beast Incarnate’ indulged in doping violations. The fans have also shared their reactions to this revelation on social media.

There have been many fighters who’ve tested positive for banned substances in the UFC. However, only a handful of fighters have been permitted to fight despite their doping violations. One of those fighters is Brock Lesnar, regarding whom there were some stunning revelations on social media. Let’s take a look at the front.

The UFC and Dana White allowed special privileges to Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar returned to the UFC after almost five years in 2016. He’d been a top draw in the promotion since the day he joined the company. This could explain why Dana White wanted him to fight at the monumental UFC 200 pay-per-view. Lesnar took on heavyweight legend Mark Hunt, who he defeated via unanimous decision.

However, after ‘The Beast Incarnate’ failed a couple of drug tests, the decision of the fight was overturned into a draw. Now, some leaked documents have revealed reports relating to a few of Lesnar’s drug tests before the fight at UFC 200.

Before Brock Lesnar made his return, he underwent a few drug tests with USADA. He submitted samples four times to the doping agency and had negative results on three occasions.

This was a banned substance.

Nevertheless, Dana White still allowed Lesnar to compete at the UFC’s double-century event. This revelation drew a lot of reactions from the fans on social media as they shared mixed reactions to the issue while also questioning the UFC CEO.
