Twitter account TalkMMA, which has previously broken several MMA stories, is claiming that Brock Lesnar may be headed back to the UFC for another fight sometime this year. The account also claims that Lesnar would be dropping the WWE Universal Championship to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.
In regards to Lesnar’s suspension by USADA, it was a one-year suspension that started last July. It should be noted though that his retirement in February froze the suspension until he re-enters the drug testing pool. There is the possibility that Lesnar could get another exemption.
I just had a 2nd person tell me that Brock Lesnar is back in the USADA testing pool. Rumor around WWE is Brock is dropping the belt at SS.

Brock still has yet to be tested in 2017 by USADA. You would think that rules out November, but he could possibly get another exemption https://t.co/3S71gt6DXl

While Lesnar remains under contract to WWE through 2018, his current deal allows him to do UFC Fights if he chooses to do so. We will keep you updated if we hear anything else regarding this rumor.
