Junior dos Santos would love to fight Daniel Cormier before the current UFC heavyweight champion retires.
There are a few things standing in his way, including the imposing figure of Brock Lesnar, who figures to be Cormier’s final title challenger sometime between now and the March date in which Cormier is expected to hang up the gloves. That whole situation — Lesnar getting a title shot and Cormier’s reason for wanting it — befuddles dos Santos, he said Saturday after he beat Tai Tuivasa by second-round TKO in the main event of UFC Adelaide.
