Brock Lesnar branded ‘safest’ opponent by UFC legend he was supposed to face in super fight that got away

In 2018, Brock Lesnar teased a potential return to the UFCachthoek.

While Lesnar takes a number of devastating victories during his UFC career, he did not hang around for too long before he went back to the WWE.

It looked in one phase, as if he might consider another comeback after his short return to UFC 200, which was eventually a one -off.

UFC 226 saw a new heavyweight champion awarded in the main event, where Lesnar was present in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The man he stood in line claimed that it was a good move for Lesnar to withdraw from another fight, where he was incredible confidence that it would not have ended well for him.

Daniel Cormier is convinced that he would have demolished Brock Lesnar if they fought

After a heated meeting between them in the Octagon on UFC 226, it seemed that the first defense of Daniel Cormier could be of the heavyweight title against a recurring Brock Lesnar.

The matchup never happened, where 'DC' came across Derrick Lewis next time.

Cormier recently spoke about this enormous superfight that came away from him during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe's 'Club Shay Shay'.

“The WWE got him. The WWE took him back. That was my golden goose, man. We had that moment in the ring, I pushed him, he pushed me. WWE paid him back. They paid Brock as 6-7 million a year, maybe 10.”

Apart from the fact that the fight would have been enormous, one of the reasons was why Cormier wanted it so badly because he was convinced that he would break the former heavyweight champion.

He went out during the interview why he was sure to beat Lesnar in the Achthoek.

“It was one of the safest fights I could have had. I tell you, it's just the truth. I love Brock, he is a great guy, but I watched what Cain [Velasquez] Did him. I looked at how he would react to punching and I started beating him. He should take me with me to win the fight and I can struggle. '

Cormier explained how he knew he could beat Lesnar, because even if he was brought down, he could come back, which would be difficult for his opponent.

“That is what happened to Cain. He pulled Cain down. Cain stood up and began to pop him in his face. I recently saw Brock, he still has that scar under his eyes from then Cain kneaded him in the face. Breed that large scar still under his eye.”

Brock Lesnar also teased a UFC referee to combat Jon Jones the year before

In 2017 Jones Daniel Cormier beat UFC 214 to win the light heavyweight title before the result was destroyed into a NO match due to a positive drug test.

'Bones' shouted Brock Lesnar in his interview after the fight and he didn't have to wait too long to get a response.

Shortly after the main event, Lesnar returned to the champion, and although Dana White made the battle that happened, the comments from the WWE star still made enthusiastic.

“Be careful with what you want, young man,” said Lesnar Associated Press.
