Brock Lesnar Will Fight at UFC 200: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

Brock Lesnar last stepped into the Octagon in December 2011, but the former UFC heavyweight champion is ready to resume his MMA career.

The UFC announced Lesnar has agreed to return for a fight at UFC 200 on July 9, per MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani. The company has yet to announce his opponent.

Earlier Saturday, Helwani reported discussions were taking place between UFC and Lesnar regarding a potential return.

Lesnar initially left WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in the NFL. After he fell just short of making the Minnesota Vikings' roster, the former University of Minnesota NCAA heavyweight champion decided to try his hand at mixed martial arts.
