5 Possible Opponents for Brock Lesnar in 2019

#1 Daniel Cormier

Brock Lesnar pushes Daniel Cormier after the main event of UFC 226

Brock Lesnar versus Daniel Cormier is the fight that everyone is talking about. Although nothing is confirmed nor signed, the expectation among the MMA world is that Cormier will defend the UFC Heavyweight Championship versus Lesnar sometime in early 2019.

An enticing attraction between the current and former champion, Lesnar outweighs the incumbent Cormier by at least 20 pounds and is around five inches taller as well.

Cormier's greatest attribute is his awesome submission skills but how can he get close enough to Lesnar to put his opponent in that position when he gives away so much height and weight?

Observers may point to Cormier's win over the similarly sized Derrick Lewis as proof Cormier can do just that but unlike Lewis, Lesnar has greater conditioning and far superior submission defenses.

Lesnar is more than a match for Cormier, which is what makes this potential fight so exciting.

It will happen. It's just a matter of when.
