Dana White Brock Lesnar's UFC Career Is Over ... Probably
Dana White tells TMZ Sports he's still on great terms with Brock Lesnar -- despite the UFC 200 PED drama -- but believes his days in the Octagon are probably over.
"I think his career is winding down but he's a freak of nature. Who knows ... maybe he'll give me a call and say he wants to do it again but I think he's ready to ride off into the sunset."
FYI, Brock is 39 years old and before UFC 200 he hadn't fought in the Octagon since 2011 when he lost to Alistair Overeem.
There's more ... we also asked Dana about another WWE superstar, CM Punk, and whether he would return to try to redeem himself after his disastrous debut earlier this year.
It's obvious Dana likes and respects CM ... but it doesn't seem like we'll see Punk back in the Octagon in the very near future.

Joseline Hernandez I'm Drug-Free! Stevie J Still Doubts Her
Joseline Hernandez says she has hard evidence she's clean and sober, but her soon-to-be baby daddy, Stevie J, is not buying it.
Joseline filed docs and attached 3 drug test results that show she tested negative for various drugs -- including cocaine, amphetamines and weed. She also attached a note from her care provider stating she's had a healthy pregnancy.
In the docs, Joseline says she voluntarily submitted to the drug tests, and Stevie's claim she's abused drugs throughout her pregnancy is a sick ploy to embarrass her.
Joseline clapped back with a shot of her own -- Stevie's $5,000 check for her medical costs bounced, according to docs.
