According to a report from MMAFighting, Brock Lesnar has informed UFC officials that he will be retiring from the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. He has also been removed from the USADA drug-testing pool, meaning he is no longer officially on their roster.
This news comes in the middle of a suspension that was handed to Lesnar by the Nevada Athletic Commission last month, after testing positive for a banned substance. He had tested positive for clomiphene, which is an estrogen blocker that an athlete typically takes after a steroid cycle.
Lesnar has yet to make an official announcement himself.
“The Beast’s” last foray into the world of MMA was at UFC 200, where he defeated Mark Hunt in a less than meaningful match. He is currently scheduled to face Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, Florida.
Editor’s Note:
This is actually a smart move by “The Beast.” Why risk your health in the Octagon, when you can get paid a lot more to fake fight?
