Earlier this week, UFC President Dana White suggested that Brock Lesnar could be sitting cage-side for the UFC 230 main event, which will see Daniel Cormier attempt to defend the UFC heavyweight title against Derrick Lewis. If Brock Lesnar does attend the event, it sounds like he better be on full alert.

Tom Taylor - October 23, 2018
Originally, UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was expected to make the first defense of his heavyweight title opposite former champion and long-time WWE star Brock Lesnar. Yet when the UFC needed a main event for UFC 230, which goes down on November 3 in New York, Cormier agreed to a short-notice heavyweight title fight with streaking contender Derrick Lewis While Derrick Lewis is now the first item on Daniel Cormier’s to-do list, the champ has remained adamant that there is still a Brock Lesnar fight in his future.
Daniel Cormier not worried about Jon Jones stealing Lesnar fight: 'I know I’m going to fight him'
Tom Taylor - October 21, 2018
UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is set to defend his title opposite Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC 230 on November 3. If Cormier wins this fight, he’s expected to compete in an ultra-lucrative showdown with former champ and current WWE star Brock Lesnar in his next fight. That being said, any number of cruel twists of fate could deprive Daniel Cormier of this chance. He could lose his fight with Derrick Lewis. Worse still, his arch rival Jon Jones could defeat Alexander Gustafsson this December and move up to heavyweight for his own fight with Lesnar. Jones, after all, has campaigned for a fight with Lesnar in the past.
Daniel Cormier on Jon Jones: 'We're going to fight again'
Cole Shelton - October 1, 2018
Arguably the biggest rivalry currently taking place in MMA exists between Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones. Cormier and Jones have gone back and forth with each other at press conferences, through social media, and in interviews over recent years. While they both talk the talk, only Jones has been able to walk the walk thus far. Jones won the pair’s first encounter by decision, while the second bout — originally a KO win for Jones — was ruled a no contest when he failed a drug test.

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.

Last night, in the main event of WWE’s exciting Summerslam event in Brooklyn, NY, Brock Lesnar surrendered his universal title to Roman Reigns.

Luke Rockhold slams Brock Lesnar, Jon Jones: "These guys should be suspended for a long time"
Tom Taylor - August 17, 2018
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.
USADA has already tested Brock Lesnar three times ahead of UFC return
Tom Taylor - August 3, 2018
Barring disaster, former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE star Brock Lesnar will get the next crack at UFC heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier. First, however, Lesnar will have to serve the remainder of a suspension imposed the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and pass a battery of new drug tests to assure he is, in fact, clean. Apparently, USADA’s work with Lesnar is off to a good start. According to the USADA website, the hulking former champ has already been tested three times since his comeback was announced (via BloodyElbow). This website was updated on August 1, so it’s even possible Lesnar has been tested again since then.

How Brock Lesnar hijacked UFC 226
Jordy McElroy - July 8, 2018
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.

Tom Taylor - July 8, 2018
With his heavyweight title-winning knockout of Stipe Miocic in the rear-view, UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier can now look forward to a massive money-fight with former UFC champ and current WWE star Brock Lesnar. Cormier and Lesnar are expected to battle for the UFC heavyweight title sometime before the year is out. Lesnar receiving a UFC heavyweight title shot is controversial for a number of reasons. There’s the fact that he hasn’t fought since 2016, and the fact that he hasn’t legitimately won a fight since 2010. And then, of course, there’s the fact that Lesnar failed a drug test after his last fight, a 2016 no-contest with Mark Hunt.
