Dana White: Daniel Cormier vs. Brock Lesnar not ‘even in the works’
Dana White said Friday a UFC heavyweight title fight between champ Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar “isn’t even in the works.”
ESPN reported last week that Cormier vs. Lesnar was being targeted for August. But UFC president White said at a seasonal press conference ahead of Saturday’s UFC 236 in Atlanta that Cormier may rematch Stipe Miocic before a bout against Lesnar comes to fruition.
“That fight might not even happen first,” White said of Cormier vs. Lesnar.
“We haven’t even talked to Brock. I don’t know if he’ll fight again, but we don’t have a date for him right now. The first fight might be Stipe.”
