Daniel Cormier is an unabashed pro wrestling fanatic, so it’s no surprise that he was tuned in to WrestleMania 35 this past weekend.
However, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion also had practical reasons for being invested in the show. Former UFC star Brock Lesnar was appearing on the card as the WWE’s Universal Champion and after dropping that title to Seth Rollins and having his on-screen advocate Paul Heyman tease that Lesnar would “ultimately” be appreciated more in Las Vegas, the wheels once again seem to be creaking into motion for a Cormier-Lesnar fight that was hinted at all the way back at UFC 226.
