Brock Lesnar returned to the Octagon at UFC 200 after almost five years away from competing in professional mixed martial arts. Lesnar won a unanimous decision over Mark Hunt.

Unfortunately, it was revealed after the fact that Lesnar had failed an out-of-competition drug test about ten days prior to the bout and also failed a drug test on the night of the fight.

Today MMA Junkie received word from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), that they will hear a request for an extension of his temporary suspension:

A temporary suspension request for ex-UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will be heard at the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s next meeting, scheduled for Aug. 23 in Las Vegas, but Jon Jones isn’t yet on the agenda.

A rep for the NSAC today told MMAjunkie that while the commission will hear a request for an extension on the temporary suspension of Lesnar, it appears Jones’ case could be delayed.

Typically, agenda items are formally set the week prior to an NSAC meeting, so the case could still be heard. Jones’ camp wasn’t immediately reachable for comment.

No official suspension has been levied on Lesnar by the UFC, USADA, or NSAC, but it is likely he is facing a significant suspension in terms of length and financial penalty. The NSAC has the ability to fine Lesnar a percentage of his contracted purse, which for UFC 200 was $2.5 million.
