– Brock Lesnar signed a 1-year contract with WWE over the weekend – and the backstage buzz is that Lesnar received one of the most lucrative contracts in company history. After seeing what a juggernaut Lesnar was in terms of PPV sales for the UFC, WWE is rumored to have guaranteed Lesnar $5 million to work a limited schedule. Based on what we’re hearing, Lesnar is contracted to appear twice a month for the next 12 months.
– Speaking of Brock Lesnar, Alistair Overeem, the man that ended Lesnar’s UFC career en route to becoming the #1 contender to the UFC Heavyweight championship, failed a drug test this week after showing an elevated level of testosterone in his blood stream. Overeem defeated Lesnar to earn a shot at UFC Heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos, but after failing this test, he cannot be licensed to fight for the title. Overeem will need to appear before the Nevada State Athletic Commission and have a “B” sample cleared before being permitted to compete, a decision likely indicating his fight with Dos Santos is off.
Overeem was given a random drug test at a recent press conference hyping the upcoming UFC 146 event where he was fighting for the title.
