Brock Lesnar officially added to UFC 200

Today, a report surfaced that Brock Lesnar was on his way to return to the Octagon at UFC 200. Hours later, Dana White denied the news in an interview with ESPN. Well, it seems like the UFC president lied to not spoil the impending announcement.

On the UFC 199 pay-per-view broadcast, a commercial for their milestone UFC 200 event aired. The clip promoted already announced title bouts in Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones, Frankie Edgar vs. Jose Aldo, and Miesha Tate vs Amanda Nunes, but on the very end? Brock Lesnar was revealed.

No opponent was announced, but the former UFC heavyweight champion's return has finally been made official for the July card. The fight card displayed have Lesnar currently slotted for the co-main event.

Dana White recently called UFC 200 the best card they've ever set up. Lesnar also competed at UFC 100, which ended up as the biggest ever pay-per-view event for the promotion. With his addition, UFC 200 could conceivably beat that.
