5 Times WWE Superstars and UFC fighters called each other out

#3. Brock Lesnar almost fought Daniel Cormier while he was still with WWE

After making his return to WWE a few years ago, Brock Lesnar was permitted to compete in the UFC while under contract with WWE. In 2016, The Beast Incarnate fought Mark Hunt in his return fight to the UFC and despite winning the bout, the fight result was eventually overturned to a draw.

Two years later at UFC 226, Lesnar stormed the octagon after Daniel Cormier's UFC heavyweight title win over Stipe Miocic. The former WWE Universal Champion was initially provoked by DC but then got into the latter's face and even shoved him inside the octagon.

Lesnar and Cormier almost came to blows inside the octagon before being separated by security, as talks of Lesnar returning to the UFC flooded the internet. A fight between the two men seemed inevitable but, unfortunately, Brock Lesnar vs. Daniel Cormier never occurred and the latter went on to complete his trilogy with Miocic.

In recent months, Cormier has engaged himself in a feud against reigning WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The two men have also called each other out on multiple occasions.
