UFC president Dana White is almost certain former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will fight again for the promotion, though it's not exactly clear when.

"They're very, very, very good," White said Monday on SiriusXM Radio when asked about the chances of Lesnar competing again for his company.

White stirred the pot Sunday night by posting a picture of him and Lesnar together, with the latter hulking through a UFC T-shirt.

Lesnar, currently the champion in the professional wrestling promotion WWE, last appeared in the Octagon at UFC 200 in July 2016. He was under contract to WWE at the time, but the promotion allowed him to return to the UFC for one fight.

At UFC 200, Lesnar defeated Mark Hunt in his first bout in over four years, though the decision was later overturned to a no contest due to a failed out-of-competition doping test.

It's believed Lesnar's contract with WWE expires in the spring, but there will still be hurdles preventing an immediate return to the cage if he pursues a return. Lesnar was suspended a year for his failed doping test, and he still has several months remaining on the ban since he officially retired from mixed martial arts in February 2017.
