We don’t know who will play the heel and face roles, although Lesnar was leaning toward a heel role along with advocate Paul Heyman prior to his hiatus, while Orton was a clear face before suffering the injury.

It’s been nearly five years since “The Beast” has competed in the cage and at the UFC 200 press conference it was clear that Brock Lesnar was excited.
It’s almost time for “UFC 200” and for Brock Lesnar to make his return to the octagon! On Wednesday night, Jones was flagged for a potential drug test failure and was pulled from the show.
After weeks of speculation and during a week of importance to Brock Lesnar’s legacy, the WWE announces who The Beast Incarnate will face at this year’s WWE’s SummerSlam.
Even though Jon Jones will not be facing Daniel Cormier to unify the light heavyweight title belts in the main event at UFC 200 on Saturday night in Las Vegas, bettors will still have plenty of other exciting wagering opportunities due to a stacked card overall. So when it was announced that Lesnar would be returning to the octagon-the internet irrupted.
“Obviously I’m here to win a fight-but-it’s fighting and anything can happen”.
“I’ve been in the business long enough, the entertainment business, the fight game – the show still goes on”, Lesnar at today’s UFC 200 open workouts.
I am not saying that Brock is never going to return because he is going to be back on TV on July 19. The new main event was then switched to Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt. UFC 200 will also feature an interim Featherweight title fight between former champions Jose Also and Frankie Edgar (Lightweight), as well as a pivotal Heavyweight clash between Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne.

The bout will be only the second time the two competitors have met in the squared circle with Lesnar previously besting The Apex Predator back in 2002 when they were both WWE rookies.
