During an appearance on The Scott & BR Show, former UFC Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz accused Brock Lesnar of "doping" and said he would be shocked if he makes it to the fight against Cormier.

"If he makes it to the fight [with Cormier] I’d be shocked. And I just mean that because USADA is the toughest anti-doping system there is on planet Earth, and that guy is absolutely doping. Period. No ifs, ands or buts about it. And he’s not been in mixed martial arts, so of course he’s been doing that stuff. How they’re going to get him to be clean on fight night is beyond me."
