The Daniel Cormier vs. Brock Lesnar matchup is so ridiculous, it’s perfect

Daniel Cormier’s victory party took but a moment to really kick off. Instead of dancing to music in the wake of his UFC 226 knockout win over Stipe Miocic, the newly minted two-division UFC champion listened to the sound of a clanging cash register as he invited former heavyweight king Brock Lesnar into the Octagon to challenge him. This isn’t how it’s really supposed to work. The champ is supposed to be the one that has others calling for his head, but Lesnar is forever the UFC’s golden goose, and Cormier didn’t waste a moment in calling next, even though Lesnar never officially un-retired and has several months remaining on his 2016 USADA suspension.
