Tom Taylor - April 9, 2019

When Brock Lesnar relinquished his WWE title at WrestleMania 35 on Sunday night, one of the final hurdles between him and a title fight with UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier disappeared. Suddenly, it seems as though this long-discussed fight could happen quite soon. Daniel Cormier is certainly hoping that’s the way things shake out. The heavyweight champion explained why this fight needs to happen in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.

This Sunday night, Brock Lesnar is back in action! Professional wrestling action that is… At Wrestlemania 35, Lesnar looks to defend his WWE Universal championship against Seth Rollins. When it comes to MMA action, however, the former UFC heavyweight champion hasn’t stepped into the Octagon for a fight since July 2016 when he fought Mark Hunt at UFC 200.

UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has been chasing a super fight with Brock Lesnar for quite a while now. Unfortunately for him, the fight has yet to materialize, and with Lesnar currently engaged with WWE, it could be some time before it does. Speaking on ESPN during Saturday night’s UFC Nashville broadcast, Cormier hinted that he might try to expedite the process by ambushing Brock Lesnar at WWE’s WrestleMania 35 event on April 7.

Jon Jones is once again ruling over the UFC light heavyweight division with an iron fist, and could conceivably do so for some time. That being said, there is a currently a tidal wave of new blood in the UFC light heavyweight division, and therefore some fresh and compelling champions on the table for the light heavyweight champ.

While nothing is set in stone just yet, it still sounds like UFC heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier could next defend his title against former champ and long-time WWE star Brock Lesnar. Let’s just say Junior dos Santos doesn’t approve of this plan. “This thing where Daniel Cormier wants to fight Brock Lesnar; I know he wants to make money, but it doesn’t make any sense,” Dos Santos told MMA Junkie ahead of his fight with Derrick Lewis. “The only one who wants to see that fight or make that fight is him. Nobody else wants to see that. Of course Brock Lesnar, he’s a very polemic guy so people like to watch him and they pay to watch him, that’s why he wants to fight him. But man, that would be ridiculous to have him back in the sport and have him fighting for the title already.

Jon Jones was simply too much for Anthony Smith. The light heavyweight champion soundly outfought his lionhearted challenger over five lopsided rounds at UFC 235 on Saturday night, and can now look forward to his next challenge in the Octagon. That being said, it’s not abundantly clear who is next opponent will be. While Thiago Santos — nicknamed “Marreta” — seems to be the frontrunner, the allure of heavyweight fights with Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar are difficult to ignore.

Daniel Cormier was supposed to partake in the final fight of his career before his 40th birthday this March. Well, that is no longer going to happen. Both Cormier and his head coach Javier Mendez have said his retirement will be delayed. Now, the question is, how many fights does Cormier have left, and who will his next opponent be? He definitely has options, whether it’s a fight with Brock Lesnar, a rematch against Stipe Miocic, or a trilogy fight with Jon Jones. But if Mendez has any say in the matter, it probably won’t be a Miocic rematch.

26 seconds. That’s the time it took for the human destroyer, Francis Ngannou, to put down arguably the greatest heavyweight fighter in MMA history at the UFC’s inaugural ESPN event.

James Lynch - January 17, 2019

The last time we saw Brock Lesnar near a cage it was following Daniel Cormier’s historic heavyweight title victory at UFC 226 this past July. Since then, we haven’t heard much of anything regarding the former UFC champion. However this week, the University of Minnesota posted on their Twitter account some training footage that shows Lesnar is back on the mats.

Former UFC heavyweight title holder Brock Lesnar is expected to make his octagon return this year against reigning division champion Daniel Cormier. However, before Brock can square off with “DC” he will have to pay the $250,000 fine he still owes the Nevada State Athletic Commission from his failed drug test at UFC 200.

Tom Taylor - January 1, 2019

When Daniel Cormier captured the UFC heavyweight title with a July knockout of Stipe Miocic, the expectation was that he would battle former champ Brock Lesnar in a heavyweight title super fight sometime toward the end of the year. Unfortunately for Daniel Cormier, this fight still hasn’t happened, and from the sounds of it, he’s not sure it will.

Don’t look now, but it appears that one of the samples submitted by Brock Lesnar to USADA has gone missing and is no longer logged in the company data base. The information comes courtesy of @dimspace, who noticed the discrepancy in USADA’s records.

Last night, in the main event of the UFC’s return to Adelaide, Australia, former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos moved onto a two-fight streak with a second-round TKO of the formerly undefeated Tai Tuivasa. With this victory, Dos Santos is once again right in the mix in the heavyweight division. Unfortunately for him, the next shot at Daniel Cormier’s heavyweight title is expected to go former champ and long-time WWE star Brock Lesnar.

UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has already successfully defended his heavyweight title in which he earned in July with a stunning first-round knockout victory over the defending king, Stipe Miocic. It seemed clear after that fight that Cormier’s first heavyweight title defense would come against another former heavyweight champion in the WWE star, Brock Lesnar.

WWE star and former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will indeed be returning to the Octagon at some point in the future. But he’ll also be staying in the ring. A few months ago Lesnar lost his Universal WWE championship which led us to the confirmation that he would definitely be making his way back to the MMA world.

Tom Taylor - November 4, 2018

With a successful UFC 230 heavyweight title defense opposite Derek Lewis now in the books, UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is now looking to the future. At present, the expectation is that he will next defend his heavyweight title against former champion and current WWE star Brock Lesnar. With Lesnar’s future still uncertain, however, Cormier has a backup plan: Jon Jones.

Tom Taylor - November 2, 2018

Provided UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier gets by Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC 230 this Saturday night in New York, there would seem to be two primary options for his next fight. One is a long-discussed heavyweight title defense opposite former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. The other is a grudge match with the only man he’s ever lost to, former UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones. While Daniel Cormier is interested in both of these fights, he considers the Jon Jones matchup the more important of the two for his legacy.
