Brock Lesnar won his fight at UFC 200 but the real battle may have just started.
The former heavyweight champion was notified on Friday of a potential doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition drug test administered by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) on June 28.
According to a statement released by the UFC on Friday, the test was taken June 28 and the results came back on July 14. Lesnar and the UFC were then notified of the potential doping violation as a result of the positive drug test.

The WWE superstar was paid a record-breaking guaranteed purse of $2.5 million, which was tipped to soar to around $10 million with a PPV cut.
