The most decorated athlete in sports combat, &#8220;The Beast&#8221; Brock Lesnar is gearing up to make his much-awaited return to UFC.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Lesnar entered the USADA testing pool this past summer after confronting UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 226. Soon after, UFC President Dana White made Cormier vs. Lesnar official.

In mid-October, USADA published that Brock had been tested 6 times. However, a recent update lists Lesnar&#8217;s test count at 5.&nbsp;



The decrease in the count caused an uproar among fans who raised a lot of questions on the matter.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“The public website, as I understand it, indicated there had been two tests during this last quarter, and it recently dropped to one. I have always seen one test in this quarter for Lesnar. It was a urine test and it came back negative.”</blockquote>



Fans can expect Lesnar to return to the Octagon on or after January 8, 2019, provided he is able to deliver clean tests throughout.



The Beast is currently enjoying a second Universal Championship reign in WWE and is scheduled to defend his title against Braun Strowman at Royal Rumble.
