Lesnar and Junior dos Santos were the coaches for season 13 of The Ultimate Fighter. At the conclusion of the season, the coaches for each respected team typically face each other at a UFC pay-per-view event. This was supposed to also be the case for Lesnar and Santos.
Unfortunately, Brock was dealing with some form of a recurring illness, which resulted in him being pulled from the fight. Lesnar was replaced in the main event of UFC 131, by Shane Carwin. Junior would go on to win that fight by way of a unanimous decision. Needless to say, Lesnar and Santos have some unfinished business.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
