Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar returned to his roots this week by doing wrestling drills at the University of Minnesota. Footage of him practicing with Gable Stevenson at the University of Minnesota has surfaced, and you can see it here:

Lesnar is set to defend his title against Braun Strowman at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on Sunday, January 27, 2019, in Phoenix, Arizona at Chase Field that will air on the WWE Network.
“The Beast” is being advertised to make an appearance on Monday’s episode of WWE Raw in Oklahoma City, OK at the Chesapeake Arena, which will serve as the go-home edition of the red brand for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.
Lesnar has yet to give the $250,000 to NSAC for the fine, which means he remains indefinitely suspended and won’t be licensed to fight again until this fine is paid. Thus, putting his UFC career on hold.
