Lesnar vs. Cormier UFC Fight Possible for August, Cormier Comments on Lesnar WM Loss

Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania loss has obviously brought up questions about Lesnar’s future.

Last week, ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reported that the current plan is for Brock Lesnar to fight Daniel Cormier for the UFC Heavyweight Championship at UFC 241 some time in August. He said that Lesnar wants to fight and the UFC wants him back. Nothing has been signed yet, but that’s the working plan.

Of course, Lesnar has used the possibility of returning to UFC as leverage to get more money out of WWE in the past. But nothing is stopping Lesnar from doing one more UFC fight, then returning to WWE, though if he actually beats Cormier for the title, it’s assumed that he might stick around longer.

As of now, Lesnar is not advertised for any future WWE dates.

Cormier posted this on Twitter after Lesnar’s loss to Seth Rollins last night at WrestleMania:

Ha, Brock got beat up
