UFC announced the following regarding the second test failure for Brock Lesnar under the USADA:

"The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has informed Brock Lesnar that his in-competition sample collection from July 9, 2016, at UFC 200, has tested positive for the same substance as his previously announced out-of-competition collection on June 28, 2016.

“Consistent with all previous potential anti-doping violations, additional information will be provided at the appropriate time as the process moves forward."

While nothing official has been announced in regard to what Lesnar failed for, Los Angeles Times reporter Lance Pugmire Tweeted the following:
