Dana White Says Lesnar/Cormier UFC Title Fight is Going To Happen

UFC President Dana White has leaned on Daniel Cormier over the years to bounce between divisions and headline events when he is needed a champion to compete. Now, Cormier might be cashing in on all of those favors he did for the promotion.
White, in a post-UFC 235 interview with ESPN, told the network that Cormier wants to face Former UFC Champion Brock Lesnar. And, in turn, Lesnar also wants to return to The Octagon to challenge Cormier for the belt.
“I think Brock and Cormier want that fight,” White said. “I owe Cormier a lot. Cormier wants that fight, so Cormier’s going to get it.”

As for when he could potentially put the two former NCAA Division I Wrestlers against each other, White said “I have no clue.” He added that he hasn’t talked to Lesnar lately because “he’s doing his WWE thing.”
“(Lesnar’s) one of those guys that when he’s ready, he’ll call,” White added. “I don’t chase anybody around. When people are ready to fight, they let me know.”
Back at UFC 226 after Cormier won The Heavyweight Belt with a finish of Stipe Miocic, Lesnar entered The Octagon. The two had a brief exchange before a shoving match left all sides in a stand-off.

Dana White says Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar want to fight each other and he owes DC a lot. He’s gonna make it. Doesn’t know when. I think Jon Jones will end up getting Thiago Santos.
