#4 Former WWE Champion to face Daniel Cormier at WrestleMania?

Brock Lesnar is not only an icon in WWE but also the UFC. Brock Lesnar was set to face another UFC icon Daniel Cormier in 2018 but the fight did not happen. Now, Daniel Cormier, who has officially retired from UFC has stated that he wants a match against The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 37.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

"I'm done, I want to wrestle with Brock in the WWE, that's where I want to fight Brock. I want to fight him on his terms. You know, two old guys in the UFC Octagon going at it, 43-41-year-old guys seem fun, boy, me and Brock at WrestleMania that would be a good time." H/t WrestlingNews.co

Daniel Cormier will not be the first person from the UFC to come to WWE and challenge Brock Lesnar. The man who had beaten Lesnar in UFC - Cain Velasquez - had come to WWE and faced Lesnar in a squash match earlier. Unfortunately for Velasquez, he was released by the company soon after.
