Brock Lesnar is returning to UFC ... at least according to Dana White.

White was a guest this evening on UFC Tonight and when asked if Lesnar would be returning said, "Yeah, Brock Lesnar’s coming back. I don't know when, but yes he is."

As we reported back in July, Brock made it clear to WWE officials that he did not plan to sign a new contract and would be leaving the company when his contract expires after WrestleMania 34.

It's unclear if they've since come to a new agreement that would allow him to do both, but MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani reports that a new UFC deal is already in place and Dana is confident that Lesnar's WWE duties will be wrapped up soon.

Brock has not competed in UFC since 2016 when he fought Mark Hunt. After the bout, Brock failed a pair of drug tests and the decision was reversed to a no-contest. He was fined $250,000 and suspended for a year, but subsequently announced his retirement (which froze the suspension).

Watch the announcement below.
