Moreover, the MMA community was at the edge of their seats in anticipation of the blockbuster booking.
Daniel Cormier chimes in on Brock Lesnar
The fight never came to fruition as contract issues sent Lesnar back into retirement from active MMA competition. Chiefly, the scrap would have promised to be a pay-per-view attraction of gigantic proportions.
DC touched upon a once-possible bout and predicted the outcome of the aforementioned fantasy match-up.
“I would have crushed Brock Lesnar. I would have walked Brock Lesnar out of the octagon. For me it would have been a great visual, Brock’s this big hulking guy, I’m small, I’m pudgy and I’m gonna kick Brock’s a**. It would have been perfect for me.”
Daniel Cormier is far removed from these incidents involving Lesnar and will look to finish off his career in August 2020. The AKA team captain will face-off against Stipe Miocic in a highly anticipated rubber match.
The fight is a high stakes affair that will go a long way in deciding the greatest heavyweight combatant.
Chiefly, a victory over Miocic will solidify his status as a top-ranked fighter in the organization’s storied history. The clash has MMA fans and pundits chomping at the bit to finally witness the score getting settled.
