Can Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Jones happen? Returning UFC legend comments

Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Jones is a dream fight for several MMA fans worldwide. The current WWE Superstar's fighting abilities made him a UFC Heavyweight Champion in 2008, the same title currently held by Jones.

As per the current UFC Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar vs. Jon Jones is still a possibility for the future. Before his bout against Ciryl Gane, Jones shared in an interview that Lesnar was his dream opponent. He mentioned Lesnar's large fanbase and how a possible match between them would be a financial success.

"I think fighting Brock Lesnar would have been really cool. Brock isn't the most technical guy but he has a massive fanbase. He's a lot bigger than me and it would have been one of those really cool David vs. Goliath situations (...) I think we both would have done great things for our family and for our team financially that would have been massive (...) Never say never. Brock, if you're out there."

Lesnar's last MMA fight was at UFC 200 against Mark Hunt. The former won the bout but was overturned in a No Contest after he failed a post-fight drug test. The Beast Incarnate has since expressed that he is "too old" to fight again.

Jones triumphantly returned to UFC 285 as he defeated Gane for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. He then called out former champion Stipe Miocic. From the looks of it, the current champion is keeping his options open.
