WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar made an appearance at UFC 226 on Saturday in Las Vegas. He was escorted to a front-row seat by UFC President Dana White.
WWE's official website also ran a story about Lesnar's attendance at UFC 226 saying to, "stay tuned to WWE.com for any updates on Lesnar's WWE contract."
Cormier defeated Miocic and became the new UFC Heavyweight Champion after a first-round knockout. Now a two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion, Cormier then invited Lesnar into the Octagon with him. Then Lesnar approached DC and shoved him across the ring.

Brock Lesnar has made his intentions quite clear and it appears Cormier and the UFC Heavyweight Title are in his sights. Dana White later commented that he did not know when Lesnar vs DC will happen though.
White: I don’t know when for DC vs. Lesnar. #UFC226— MMAFighting.com (@MMAFighting) July 8, 2018
Lesnar had six months to serve on his one-year USADA
suspension, which froze halfway through when he left the testing pool by
announcing his retirement. With news that he is fighting at the end of
the year, the heavyweight should’ve reentered the USADA testing pool to
become eligible to fight again.
His 2016 win over Mark Hunt was overturned, meaning he hasn’t officially won a UFC bout since 2010.
