Brock Lesnar opens as betting favorite over Fedor Emelianenko, huge underdog to Jon Jones

Brock Lesnar is back in the headlines after it was recently announced that the former UFC heavyweight champion is a free agent following “paused” negotiations with the WWE.

Lesnar hasn’t parted ways with WWE for good, but that hasn’t stopped the MMA community from theorising about a potential return to the UFC or perhaps embarking on a new career with Bellator.

UFC president Dana White has stated that he is willing to book Lesnar vs. Jones if both men are ‘seriously interested’ in the matchup and Bellator CEO Scott Coker would like to see Lesnar take on Fedor Emelianenko under the Bellator banner.
