In other news, Brock Lesnar is reportedly returning to WWE after being banned from the UFC for two years, according to Joe.ie. The 39-year-old Lesnar's ban came after he was found positive for hydroxy-clomiphene, a banned substance he used during a fight with MMA star Kiwi Hunt.

Lesnar will return to the WWE ring for Monday Night Raw on August 1. A WWE spokesman told CBS Sports recently that the sports entertainment company will not punish or discipline Lesnar for failing two U.S. Anti-Doping Agency drug tests from his stint in UFC 200.

According to the spokesman, WWE's talent wellness program "does not apply to part-time performers" like Lesnar, adding that WWE is "show business." True enough, Lesnar hasn't performed at WWE for more than 10 years, with only 19 wrestling matches under his belt in the last three years. Lesnar has won the WWE Championship four times.
