5 Potential Opponents For Brock Lesnar's UFC Return

Even though current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar just signed an extension with the company, it seems inevitable that he's going to return to the UFC, and probably make one more run at the Heavyweight Championship.

Most assume that Lesnar's extension will last until this year's SummerSlam, which takes place in August, where he'll presumably drop the Universal Title to either Braun Strowman or Roman Reigns.

There's also a slight chance that WWE will end up allowing Lesnar to fight while he continues as a part-time wrestler, but that seems unlikely, even though they did allow him to do so back in 2016.

So, with all that in mind, here are five potential opponents for Brock Lesnar's inevitable UFC return.


#5 Mark Hunt

Prior to their last fight back at UFC 200, Mark Hunt claimed that Brock Lesnar was "juiced to the gills," obviously implying that Lesnar was a PED user. Then, following the fight, it was revealed that Lesnar had failed a drug test for Clomiphene, which is an estrogen blocker typically used by athletes coming off of a PED cycle.

The failed test resulted in two things: a suspension for Lesnar, and a lawsuit filed by Mark Hunt against the UFC and Brock Lesnar.

Since then, the "Samoan Superman" has fought three times, tallying up one win and two losses. But, it might be hard to convince Hunt to take a second fight with someone who he suspects uses PEDs.
