Brock Lesnar will face both the wrath of the UFC and the WWE after being flagged by USADA for a potential anti-doping violation, but the reaction almost echoed a degree of inevitability as the UFC's late plan to save UFC 200 has come back to bite them.
Lesnar who was drafted in just 5 weeks out from UFC 200, was granted an exemption from USADA's out-of-competition drug testing policy - where fighters who are coming back from retirement have to make themselves available for testing in the four-month window leading up to a fight.
WWE allowed the former UFC heavyweight champion to compete at UFC 200, released a statement last night after being informed that Lesnar has been flagged for a potential violation.

'The Beast' beat Mark Hunt in the co-main event at UFC 200 by unanimous decision, but it was Hunt who led the backlash against the WWE superstar.
