After winning the heavyweight title at UFC 226, Daniel Cormier was immediately thrust into position to defend his newly won belt against Brock Lesnar when Lesnar is eligible to return to MMA in January. However, now it sounds like that fight may be in jeopardy from Cormier himself.
Cormier has maintained for awhile now that he intends to retire in March when he turns 40 years old, and it appeared Lesnar would serve as the perfect swan song for “DC”. But with Jon Jones set to return to MMA at the end of the year and with Cormier recently accepting a short-notice title defense against Derrick Lewis at UFC 230, it appears that Lesnar may not be his last fight.
