Brock Lesnar News

Drake Riggs - September 11, 2018

When it comes to Brock Lesnar and people that have been busted for cheating, the ‘Super Samoan’ Mark Hunt is never shy about sharing how he feels. Hunt and Lesnar fought at UFC 200 in July 2016. The initial result was that of a unanimous decision victory for the former heavyweight champion Lesnar. Shortly after, Lesnar had been notified that he had failed a drug test for Performance Enhancing Drugs thus turning his win into a no contest.

The lingering fallout from the officially—or, technically unofficially—announced fight between two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier and former WWE and UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has brought about a mixed bag of pandemonium within the MMA community. Some fans have completely bought into the crossover feud and Lesnar’s immense marketability in the combat sports world. Others see it as a rehearsed and inauthentic ploy at a quick cash grab for a future pay-per-view card.

Last night, in the main event of WWE’s exciting Summerslam event in Brooklyn, NY, Brock Lesnar surrendered his universal title to Roman Reigns. In the eyes of many fans, this seemed like a necessary precursor for Lesnar’s much-discussed return to the UFC. If Lesnar does indeed return to the UFC, which seems like a certainty at this point, it will be to a heavyweight title shot opposite newly minted heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.

Former UFC and Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold believes fighters who fail drug tests — particularly those who fail multiple drug tests — should face harsher punishments from the UFC and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Speaking with MMAjunkie recently, Luke Rockhold discussed former UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones, who has recently been teasing a comeback, and former heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar, who has recently been linked to a fight with heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier. In his eyes, both of these men should be facing lengthy suspensions for their recent failed drug tests.

At UFC 226, Daniel Cormier’s longtime American Kickboxing Academy teammate Luke Rockhold was about as close to the post-fight aftermath that one could be without actually being in it. The aftermatch following Cormier’s big title win over Stipe Miocic was, of course, that of his encounter with former UFC champion and WWE star Brock Lesnar.

UFC 226’s super fight aftermath between Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar left a sour taste in several people’s mouths. That list now includes one of Stockton’s finest. Despite being in the middle of some rather troubling legal cases, Nick Diaz has made it clear that he’s ready to return to MMA action and continued to make it clear late on Thursday night.

Right when UFC 226’s heavyweight championship main event concluded, we knew exactly what the next title fight within the division would be. That, of course, is the return of former UFC champion and WWE star Brock Lesnar who will receive an immediate title shot against new dual-division champion Daniel Cormier once he’s eligible to compete again in January.

UFC 226’s super fight aftermath between new UFC heavyweight champion and former champions, Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar drew mixed opinions. One of the attendees for the wild night of action was another former UFC champion in Dominick Cruz who was calling the night’s action alongside Joe Rogan and Jon Anik.

If there was someone that was most affected by UFC 226 without actually being involved in the event, it was probably Curtis Blaydes. After earning the biggest win of his career at UFC 225 by knocking out Alistair Overeem in devastating fashion, Blaydes had seemingly lined himself up for the possible next title shot.

Moments after UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier knocked out Stipe Miocic to capture the UFC heavyweight title at UFC 226, we learned that his next fight will pit him against former UFC heavyweight champion and long-time WWE star Brock Lesnar. Cormier called Lesnar out, Lesnar lumbered into the cage, and the pair engaged in a heated confrontation complete with plenty of bravado, cussing and even a few shoves.

Shortly after his history-making defeat of Stipe Miocic, UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier called out Brock Lesnar.

UFC 226 was on the verge of being a historically underwhelming pay-per-view event, with the featherweight title bout being scrapped and the co-main event fight between Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis falling flat. Then Daniel Cormier grabbed the microphone, and Brock Lesnar stepped into the cage. The UFC clearly saved the best for last on Saturday night.

Chris Taylor - July 7, 2018

Tonight’s UFC 226 event delivered some great fights, fantastic finishes and the return of Brock Lesnar. Despite a terribly disappointing co-main event bout between Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou, tonight’s pay-per-view showcased some promotional history as Daniel Cormier was able to become the second “champ champ” in UFC history by knocking out Stipe Miocic in the main event.

Brock Lesnar’s return to the UFC feels inevitable. The current WWE star is still under contract as a champion with the organization but his deal is apparently set to expire sooner rather than later. UFC President, Dana White has already said himself that Lesnar will indeed fight in the UFC again. It’s now just a matter of when.

Tom Taylor - June 17, 2018

Talk of a potential heavyweight superfight between former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has once again started making headlines. This, thanks to some recent comments from UFC President Dana White, who implied that both men want the fight. “I know that Brock’s WWE deal is up at the end of the summer, I think,” White recently told TMZ. “I know he wants to fight so I’m sure we’ll end up getting that figured out.”

The Brock Lesnar saga continues. The current WWE Universal champion is also a former UFC heavyweight champion. And it has been made clear that he would like to get back into the Octagon after his time is done inside the ring. A Lesnar MMA return has been continually teased to us for the past so many months this year. And it’s gone as far from pictures at the UFC Performance Institute to Dana White himself stating that Lesnar will return…and potentially for a title shot.

Tom Taylor - May 1, 2018

Contrary to previous rumors, former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and long-time pro wrestling star Brock Lesnar has re-signed with WWE. Apparently, however, his new WWE contract could allow for at least one bout inside the UFC’s Octagon. Should Lesnar return to the perilous Octagon, it could very easily be to a heavyweight title shot — perhaps against the winner of Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier’s UFC 226 heavyweight title super fight.

Tom Taylor - April 16, 2018

On July 7, in the main event of UFC 226, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier will return to the heavyweight division to battle reigning champion Stipe Miocic. If Cormier is successful in this momentous showdown, he’ll become the UFC heavyweight champion, which will of course open the door to more massive opportunities in the division. Of those opportunities, its arguable that none would be bigger than a showdown with former UFC heavyweight champ and current WWE star Brock Lesnar—something UFC President Dana White has recently alluded to.
