Khabib Nurmagomedov Once Took a Jibe at Brock Lesnar’s Ugly UFC Past While Comparing the WWE Star with Daniel Cormier

Brock Lesnar announced his retirement from MMA a few years back, saying he was too old for fighting in the octagon. However, his fight with Daniel Cormier never happened as the UFC suspended The Beast Incarnate. 

Surprisingly, when UFC had planned their fight, fans went berserk to see Lesnar getting a heavyweight title shot. Moreover, Khabib Nurmagomedov also shared his views on the fight at the time.

During a Q&A session with the fans in 2018 in Calgary shared by ‘MMAFightingonSBN‘, Khabib Nurmagomedov said Daniel Cormier had the advantage of defeating Brock Lesnar. He gave the reason for his comments about the fight.

Nurmagomedov said, “If you talk about Brock Lesnar about striking or wrestling – how can he beat ‘DC’? I don’t understand this. ‘DC’ is very tough guy… I think 99 percent ‘DC’ can beat him. Only one percent (Lesnar can win). This is my opinion. First of all, he has to come back, work out, and be clean.”

The Russian then spoke about USADA and their testing.

However, ‘The Eagle’ spoke his mind at the Q&A session and his comments surely shocked many of the fans present there and also at home.

The Eagle was sure that DC would easily defend his UFC Heavyweight Championship against The Conqueror. At the time, Lesnar had taken a break from WWE to prepare for his fight against Cormier.
