Brock Lesnar and Jones’ rivalry goes way back. After defeating Cormier for the second time, Jones called out Lesnar saying:

“If you want to know what it feels like to get your ass kicked by a guy who is 40 pounds less than you, meet me in the octagon.”

To that Brock Lesnar had replied:  ” Be careful what you wish for, young man.”

And recently, WWE Hall of Famer and Lesnar’s close friend, Kurt Angle said:

“I hope he(Brock Lesnar) does return. I know he said he has retired. I think the one fight he wants, not sure if it’s ever going to happen, he wants to fight against Jones.”

Discussing with Ariel Helwani on how this super-fight will go between Jones and Lesnar, Kurt said:

“They are very different, their sizes are extremely different. But Brock is a freak. He might not win all his fight, he might not be the most polished fighter, but he is an incredible athlete, and he could do anything he wants.”
