“Merry Christmas to Brock Lesnar,” Brock Lesnar said Thursday, reacting to news that Jon Jones’ positive drug test has elevated Lesnar’s comeback heavyweight fight against veteran Mark Hunt to main-event status at Saturday’s UFC 200. Lesnar, a WWE performer, has been out of the octagon for more than five years. A skilled wrestler, the former UFC heavyweight champion is expected to seek a fight on the canvas against the heavy handed, No. “I’m thankful I’m here. “I’ve been in the business long enough — the entertainment industry, the fight game — the show still goes on,” Lesnar said at an appearance at T-Mobile Arena, where UFC 200 will take place.
