At the recent ESPN UFC Fight Night, UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier made an appearance and was asked who his opponent will be for his next bout.
Cormier said that he didn’t have an exact match in mind yet, but he might need to help get Brock Lesnar to The UFC by costing him The WWE Universal Title against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania on April 7th. This is what Cormier had to say in regards to Lesnar:
“I don’t have a fight exactly scheduled yet, but I got my eyes on Brock Lesnar,” Cormier said. “I might go to WWE’s WrestleMania and I may go cost him his title over there, so he can hurry up and get to the UFC, so I can beat him here.”
UFC President Dana White recently spoke about hoping to hear from Lesnar in the summer, as seen below:
“Brock Lesnar is doing his thing with WWE,” White said. “One of the things about Brock Lesnar is, when that guy is ready to fight, he is not shy. He will call me and he will let me know. To be honest with you, I’m hoping to hear from that guy this summer. … I think both guys really want it, Cormier wants it bad. I know Cormier wants it bad, and Brock wants it bad. So, when two fighters want to fight each other as bad as these two do, I think it’s going to happen.”
