Brock Lesnar’s Return Targeted For July 3
↵↵The Nevada State Athletic Commission has since received a request from the UFC for the July 3 event date and venue.
Although not officially approved until an upcoming commission meeting, UFC 116 shouldn’t face any hurdles.

Lesnar, who’s been out of action since a July 2009 title defense over Frank Mir, is still on the mend after suffering a severe case of diverticulosis that threatened to end his MMA career. White said he and Lesnar are shooting for an early-summer return, and a source close to the organization said UFC 116 is the most likely option, health-permitting.
↵↵The questions will remain of if Brock will return at full strength and if a Carwin or Mir fight are too hard following such a long layoff, but any Lesnar fight is very good for business.
↵There have been all kinds of crazy rumors that a significant plot twist may come early next week, but until I hear them from better sources I’m not going to report on anything other than that it appears Lesnar will be back in July.
