During his open workout today, Brock Lesnar gave his reaction to the news that Jon Jones had been pulled from the UFC 200 main event following an alleged failure of the USADA anti-doping policy.

Lesnar was expected to do a twenty-minute workout and then answer questions from the press who watched from the floor of the T-Mobile Arena. Despite being dressed in a tracksuit, Lesnar did not complete a workout. 

When asked why he wasn't, Lesnar reiterated his joke yesterday when he said he had already sparred "3,000 rounds."

Unsurprisingly, the Jones situation dominated the line of questioning and Lesnar summed up his feelings in his usual blunt fashion.

"It sucks and it's unfortunate," Lesnar said. "It's unprofessional but Merry Christmas to Brock Lesnar."

Lesnar would go on to reiterate the line "Merry Christmas Brock Lesnar" a few times in the ten-minute question and answer session. 

Lesnar said he found out only this morning and then proceeded to speak about Daniel Cormier, saying that he felt bad for Cormier and the entire situation. 

As he had done several times at the UFC 200 press conference yesterday, Lesnar wasn't giving away anything about his UFC future after Saturday evening.

"I don't know what the future holds for me," Lesnar said vaguely. "I just got to see what happens on Saturday night"
