The NSAC voted unanimously in favor of the settlement on Thursday.A professional wrestling star and former UFC champion, Lesnar fought in the Octagon for the first time since 2011 at UFC 200, defeating Hunt via unanimous decision.After the bout, it was revealed that he tested positive for the anti-estrogen drug clomiphene, a banned substance, in a prefight test taken June 28. He tested positive for the same substance in his fight-night test.Lesnar was not pulled from the event because the results of his prefight test were not available on fight night.
