Brock Lesnar failed a pre-fight drug test before his highly-anticipated return at UFC 200 and the reaction hasn’t exactly been one of surprise.
The UFC were commended for removing Jon Jones from the main event of the landmark card after one of his tests came back positive, but the big wigs were left a little red-faced after it emerged the biggest draw on the card was flagged for an anti-doping violation by USADA after the fact.

The news will be a very bitter pill to swallow for president Dana White, who assured everyone that Lesnar was clean, amid concerns over the WWE superstar being granted an exemption from the four-month written notice rule for un-retiring athletes under the USADA/UFC drug testing policy.
Mark Hunt, the man who dropped a unanimous decision to Lesnar is royally pissed off at the news, as is a lot of the MMA community.
However, others have found humour in the situation, including strawweight star Joanne Calderwood who may very well have had the best gag about the story.
