That said, the news has already sent the fight fans into a frenzy. Lesnar has been one of the vilest fighters in the world, boasting a global fanbase. Thus, his inception in the promotion can be even bigger at this point.
Meanwhile, Daniel Cormier and Ariel Helwani have an interesting incident to recall, where Brock Lesnar hilariously mocked the latter.
The incident dates back to the pre-fight press conference of UFC 200, but fans still cherish it like it happened yesterday.
Heavyweight icon Brock Lesnar never fails to amaze his fans
The WWE superstar paved his way back to MMA at UFC 200, taking on a strong opponent like Mark Hunt. It was a sheer moment of excitement, as Lesnar turned to the octagon after five years.
However, what made it more interesting was Lesnar’s hilarious remarks during the press conference. Ariel Helwani asked the Beast to highlight his preparations for the fight. Now, Lesnar was sitting beside Daniel Cormier, while also guiding him throughout the process.
At the UFC 200 pre-fight press conference, @arielhelwani asked Brock Lesnar how many rounds he sparred in preparation for his fight with Mark Hunt.

While Helwani asked his questions, Brock turned to Cormier and asked, “Hey, who is that guy?”. Now, Cormier who has been in touch with Helwani for years advised the WWE star to stop worrying.
Replying to Helwani’s “How many rounds did you spar?,” Brock Lesnar said, “3000”. It appeared that Lesnar threw the numbers abruptly as he didn’t pay much attention to Helwani’s inquiry. No wonder the moment remains to be one of the most savage happenings of Lesnar’s UFC path.
Since he is touted to return again, umpteen opponents are available for him. A blockbuster contest with Jon Jones is also on the charts, which has already intensified the scenario.
UFC chief Dana White has also given a green signal to the fight. However, Lesnar hasn’t talked about it yet. That said, the fight is still up in the air, with minimal possibilities of materialization.
Do you think Lesnar will return to UFC action for the fans?
