Dana White Says Daniel Cormier Wants to Fight Brock Lesnar

In a press conference after UFC 235 last night, UFC president Dana White said that both Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar want to fight each other.

“I think that Brock and Cormier want that fight. I owe Cormier a lot. Cormier wants that fight, Cormier’s gonna get it.

(White was then asked what the timeframe might be for that fight.)

I have no clue. I literally have not talked to Brock at all. He’s doing his WWE thing. He’s one of those guys, when he’s ready, he’ll call me. I don’t chase anybody around, man. I just make fights. And when people are ready to fight, they let me know. And if they’re not, we don’t talk.”

Cormier called out Lesnar on November 4 after Cormier’s fight at UFC 230, saying, “Brock Lesnar! When you come, bring that brand new WWE title. I feel like being a WWE champion too. Let’s go! Let’s go, Brock. Bring that belt with you if you come to my house.”

In a press conference after that show in November, Dana White said pretty much the same thing he’s saying now when asked if Lesnar would be Cormier’s next opponent: “Should be. I mean, you don’t know what happens. I can’t predict anything, but yeah. I haven’t talked to Brock tonight but I haven’t looked at my phone either. Brock and I haven’t talked in a little while. He was doing his WWE stuff and we’ll see. There’s no timeline.”
