UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has been pushing hard for a fight against former titleholder Brock Lesnar since he won the belt from Stipe Miocic last July. Over the course of interviews, “DC” has repeatedly stated his case as to why he would want to fight someone who has not been in the Octagon for nearly three years and is coming off a USADA suspension for a PED violation.
But for UFC president Dana White, the reasons to make this fight happen are simple.
“First of all, Brock Lesnar wants to come back. I don’t know when and when we’ll get it done,” White said during the UFC 236 post-fight scrum (transcript by MMA Weekly).
