One such champion and veteran on many people’s lists is Brock Lesanr. While many stars have expressed their desire to defeat Lesnar in the past, one former UFC star wanted to retire Lesnar and many were fans of the idea.

Who wanted to retire Brock Lesnar?

The star in question is none other than the Original Bro, Matt Riddle.
