Brock Lesnar has long been one of the standout names across sports, but it looks like his time competing could be coming to an end due to some 'trouble' he has allegedly found himself in.

The Beast Incarnate has enjoyed incredible success in both professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. As he currently navigates through the tail end of his career, the 48-year-old can celebrate being the only person to win primary heavyweight titles in WWE, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the Inoki Genome Federation, at collegiate level with the NCAA, and inside the octagon under the UFC banner.

While anyone would be lucky to have Brock Lesnar perform on their show, it may be some time before fans can see that. According to fellow UFC legend Daniel Cormier, Lesnar is banned.

"Brock is on the banned list right now," Cormier claimed during a conversation with Demetrious Johnson. "Brock got into so much trouble."

"You know what Brock did? I ain't telling you on air what Brock did. Brock is in so much trouble."

Cormier and Lesnar have history, with the pair set to meet inside the octagon in 2018 before the fight fell through.

Many questioned why an agreement on the blockbuster matchup couldn't be made. However, 'DC' has finally revealed why the bout was eventually scrapped.

"WWE paid him more to stay. We danced the dance for a while. It could have been Brock and I when I fought Derrick Lewis in New York."

"But yeah, they paid him so much to stay. He was such a big star there that he could make money to go do that and do nothing but superlexes."

"Or go fight me in an octagon, which is real, and I'm gonna try to kill him. So it was like, yeah, he made the best choice."
