According to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, the UFC is looking to book a heavyweight title fight between reigning champion Daniel Cormier and former champ Brock Lesnar sometime in August, although no event or venue has been announced.

Helwani first reported the news on SportsCenter yesterday.

Lesnar, the WWE Universal champion, will look to defend his title against Seth Rollins this Sunday at WrestleMania 35, the biggest professional wrestling event of the year.

The 41-year-old last fought in the Octagon almost three years ago at UFC 200, where he beat MMA and kickboxing veteran Mark Hunt in the co-main event.
