“At Least There Would Be Some Blood”: Brock Lesnar Once Received a Boxing Challenge From His Former UFC Conqueror

Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant in-ring performers in recent history. His technical abilities and raw strength can vouch for those. His success as an amateur wrestler and his massive physique aided him in securing an early push with WWE.

Lesnar made his debut in 2002, and by 2004, he had secured it all. After parting ways with WWE, Lesnar tried his hands at NFL and then the tough world of MMA. UFC soon signed Lesnar, and he faced UFC Legend Frank Mir on his debut.

The rivalry between Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar is infamous for its gruesome nature and outrageous statements. A cocky Mir defeated a confident Brock Lesnar on his debut. However, Lesnar would jump back up from this defeat, and take Frank Mir down during their second bout at UFC 100.

The two have often been in deep waters for their controversial statements. The whole MMA world went livid against Frank Mir when he claimed that he wanted Lesnar to die from MMA-related injuries. Around a year back, Mir issued another challenge for Brock Lesnar and wanted to finish their unwanted business. Mir was supposed to face Antonio Tarver in 2021 when he issued the challenge for Brock Lesnar.

He said, “I feel like it’s unfinished business. We’re 1-1 with each other. I’m sure people talk about me to him all the time.” Mir claimed that he wanted to finish what was left unfinished. Mir claimed that in a boxing match, someone was bound to get hurt.

He continued, “Brock’s last fight (against Mark Hunt) was a snooze fest. It wasn’t the most entertaining thing, and I like wrestling! At least with a boxing match it’s pretty guaranteed someone’s getting hurt, there will be some blood.” Mir is one of the most terrifying fighters on the planet, and him and Lesnar going against each other would be a treat.

Brock Lesnar was against fighting a particular UFC Legend in WWE

WWE had roped in UFC Daniel Cormier for officiating Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle fight at Extreme Rules 2022. And his appearance immediately raised the rumors of WWE planning a Brock Lesnar vs Daniel Cormier fight in the future.

However, Cormier revealed that the fight is not confirmed. He said, “‘I’ve not heard anything. That’s the thing, right? When something like this happens, and this was, honestly, very good for me because people started to talk. People started talking about.” 

He continued, “it seems to make a lot of sense. But as you know, just because something makes sense, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen.” While the angle shot in UFC showed, Lesnar pushing Cormier hard, in real life, both Cormier and Lesnar are great friends.
