After “DC” submitted Derrick Lewis to retain his heavyweight title in the UFC 230 headliner on Nov. 3, he targeted UFC 235 on March 2 for his potentially lucrative showdown with Lesnar. However, while Lesnar initially entered the Octagon to challenge Cormier after the American Kickboxing Academy standout claimed heavyweight gold at UFC 226 in July, there are no still no guarantees the World Wrestling Entertainment star returns to the Octagon for a third promotional stint.
