Jon Jones Calls Out Brock Lesnar After His Win at UFC 214

Jon Jones knocked out Daniel Cormier in the third round to become the new UFC Light Heavyweight Champion at UFC 214 tonight. After his post-match interview, he picked up the mic and called out Brock Lesnar:

“Brock Lesnar… If you want to know what it feels like to get your ass kicked by a guy who weighs 40 pounds less than you, meet me in the octagon.”

Last week, in response to a question about whether or not he would agree to a fight with Jon Jones, Brock Lesnar said: “anytime, anywhere.”

“Would I fight Jon Jones? Anytime, anywhere. Right now he should be worried about D.C. on Saturday night.”

As previously reported:

There was word last week that Brock Lesnar was going to re-enter the USADA testing pool, signaling a possible return to UFC. His WWE contract expires after WrestleMania and as of now, he’s told WWE that he doesn’t plan on returning, but he said that last time, so it could be a negotiation tactic.

Lesnar still has 5 months remaining in his USADA suspension, and wrestlers who return from retirement would need to be in the pool for 6 months, so if he re-enters now, the earliest he would be able to return is January. WWE would need to approve any UFC fights while he’s under contract, if he decides that he wants to fight before his contract expires next April.
