Brock Lesnar is back in the UFC with a bang. The Universal Champion made his presence felt when he got into a physical interaction with the newly crowned UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier. Now, the WWE has released an official statement about Lesnar’s return to the UFC.
WWE raised a question about Lesnar’s future with them and addressed the contract complications between the two parties. Here’s the official statement that WWE posted on wwe.com:
We don’t know who the next challenger for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship will be, but we do know his upcoming opponent — UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier.
Cameras caught Lesnar cageside for the main event of UFC 226 between UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic and challenger Daniel Cormier.
After Cormier knocked Miocic out in the first round to become both the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and UFC Heavyweight Champion, he called out Lesnar and invited him into the octagon. Brock immediately shoved the new champ across the cage before delivering a profanity-laden tirade on the microphone.
