Bubba Ray says UFC needs Brock Lesnar.
At UFC 226, Daniel Cormier knocked out Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic to become the 2nd fighter to hold two UFC Championship belts after Conor McGregor did it in 2016. After the fight, the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and new Heavyweight Champion Cormier asked WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar to come inside the cage.
Lesnar shoved Cormier, had harsh words to say about the other Heavyweights fighting on the card, and told Cormier he was coming for him.
WWE Hall of Fame Bubba Ray Dudley commented on the interaction and said it looked scripted.
After UFC 226 went off the air, UFC President Dana White said Brock Lesnar had re-enterd the USADA drug testing pool and the Cormier and Lesnar fight would be booked by UFC.
As WWE Universal Champion, Lesnar has not been seen on WWE programming since he won a cage match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event. There was a number one contender's match created for the Extreme Rules pay-per-view but it was canceled after some public comments by Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman.
Fightful has coverage of UFC 226 on the MMA side of the website and also covers Brock Lesnar's WWE situation on the professional wrestling side.
