Daniel Cormier Shut Down Brock Lesnar’s Attempt to Reignite Feud: “I’m Not Fighting”

Brock Lesnar had one of the most exciting runs in the UFC. The former heavyweight champion dismantled UFC legends to gain the ultimate glory. Moreover, his rivalries have a special place among the fans as they turned iconic over time. One such rivalry that didn’t conclude was the one with Daniel Cormier. The two UFC champions shared the stage only for trash-talking, but not for a fight.

Ahead of Wrestlemania 39, the WWE star tried to feud his rivalry with the UFC commentator. Daniel Cormier came with his reply during his interview with Lesnar.

Lesnar opened up about why he left the sport as Cormier shuts down rumors

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier asked ‘The Beast’ about his future in the sports entertainment business. He also told Lesnar that the rumors have arisen because the two were meeting up for an interview.

‘DC’ said, “It’s like when you said when I sat down, maybe now with all the news that’s breaking, maybe we can fight? I’m like, no Brock, I’m not fighting. I’m gonna get done with that. That was 5 years ago. I’m old, I’m retired. We’re just hanging out. But do you look now to what’s next? Are you still kinda enjoying it so much that you’re gonna be here for a while.”

The former UFC heavyweight champion added, “Every time that I think that I wanna be done and I’m looking to… then I get to the ring, get to the building, and that’s the part of the business I really love. I left the business early because I just didn’t like to travel…“

Furthermore, Lesnar explained, “I need to feel. I’m just a simple man and it was just too much for me at the time… I don’t know how long I’m gonna be around.”

When Brock Lesnar changed fans’ opinion in the first fight

As revealed by Dana White, the fans were not very respectful of the former UFC heavyweight champion because he came from the WWE. However, many have changed their opinion of him since his first fight in the UFC against Frank Mir. After his loss to Frank Mir, Lesnar made a lasting impression in the UFC with notable wins against Randy Couture, Heath Herring, and Frank Mir in the rematch.
