Brock Lesnar has been suspended for one year for his two failed drug tests related to his UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt earlier this year, according to MMAFighting.com. The punishment was handed down today by the Nevada Athletic Commission. Lesnar will be able to return to MMA in 2017.
Lesnar also agreed to pay a $250,000 fine as part of a settlement with the Nevada attorney general's office. Lesnar's win over Hunt will be overturned into a No Contest.
As reported a few months back, Lesnar twice tested positive for anti-estrogenic agent Hydroxy-clomiphene in pre-UFC 200 fight drug tests. One test was on the day of the fight, July 9th, and the other was on June 28th.
Lesnar received a then-UFC record $2.5 million purse for the victory.

Top title is misleading---he wasn't suspended by the UFC, he was suspended by the NAC.
With that said, unless they're planning on putting him in the cage with Josh Barnett, I seriously don't want to see him come back.

I think he'll be back. I don't know if he's interested in trying to make a run at a title but he seems like he probably has a few fights left in him. He definitely looked good against Mark Hunt, PEDs or not.
