The past due announcement that mythical UFC heavyweight Daniel Cormier would function the particular referee for Seth Rollins & Matt Riddle’s Fight Pit fit at Extreme Rules were given a large number of other folks serious about a Cormier dream bout that by no means came about in the Octagon or the squared circle.
Back in 2018 after DC received the UFC heavyweight crown to turn into the group’s 2nd ever double champion (he already held the sunshine heavyweight name when he knocked out Stipe Miocic at UFC 226), Brock Lesnar joined the champ-champ in the cage to tease a superfight. Lesnar ended up retiring from combined martial arts prior to it might occur, however given Cormier’s lifelong love of professional wrestling, doing it in WWE at all times felt like a chance.
It resulted in hypothesis/hope Brock may even display up in Philadelphia on Saturday evening to begin a program for Crown Jewel. He’d already confronted one UFC rival in Saudi Arabia, in any case.
But Cormier did not fairly glance able for the weigh-in, if you understand what I imply. It’s one thing he stated whilst telling the Associated Press he’d love a WWE run… together with a Lesnar fit:
“I’ve been retired for a few years and I glance love it. But I’d need to get in form if I ever wish to do one thing like that. The door isn’t closed on anything else at the moment in my lifestyles.
“I’m still at an age where there are some opportunities, but those opportunities need to start now if they’re going to be something I pursue.”
DC’s 43, and has a lot of enjoy shedding pounds. Can he do this, be informed the techniques of labored wrestling fit, and succeed in an settlement with WWE prior to the 45 yr outdated Lesnar comes to a decision to retire to his farm for just right?
Place your bets.
