Before Daniel Cormier vs. Brock Lesnar was a thing, it was Jon Jones who called out the World Wrestling Entertainment star following what appeared to be a victory over “DC” at UFC 214.
Everything changed, however, when Jones tested positive for the anabolic steroid Turinabol in relation to the fight. A suspension cost Jones his win over Cormier, the light heavyweight title and, a potential showdown with Lesnar.
Now, it’s Cormier who is targeting a lucrative clash with Lesnar in the first quarter of 2019. After “DC” became a two-division champ with a knockout of Stipe Miocic at UFC 226, he and Lesnar had a shoving match inside the Octagon, an obvious hype-building move.
