Undefeated UFC Legend Khabib Nurmagomedov Once Pitched a ‘Fantasy Match’ for WWE’s Brock Lesnar if He Had Unlimited Financial Resources

Brock Lesnar is one of the toughest opponents to get in the ring with. His sheer dominance and in-ring stature are enough to scare the living wits out of his opponents.  Throughout his long fighting career, Lesnar has maintained a dominating stance.

After his debut for WWE in 2002, Lesnar would later leave it behind to pursue another career. After football and NJPW, Lesnar would land up in MMA and choose UFC as his next destination. In UFC, he would get involved in several legendary rivalries while also establishing himself as one of the greats.

Speaking of UFC greats, one name always comes to mind, and that is Khabib Nurmagomedov. Nurmagomedov is 29-0 in UFC, and MMA, and is one of the most successful fighters in recent history,

However, after a strong run of performances, Nurmagomedov retired in 2020. Despite Dana White’s several pleas of calling him back, he has remained rock-solid on his decision. Post-retirement, he currently owns and manages Eagle Fighting Championship, an MMA promotion that operates from his home country.

What fantasy plans did Khabib Nurmagomedov have about two certain fighters?

However, back in 2021, the now-retired UFC fighter made a wild remark about a future fantasy match, and it instantly caught the fan’s attention. He claimed that if he had unlimited sources or funds, he would like to book Lesnar vs Fedor Emelianenko in Russia, as a part of his fantasy.

He said, “ I would take Brock Lesnar — a heavyweight. And it would be possible to make him a fight, with Fedor Emelianenko, in Russia.

Both Fedor and Lesnar are deemed as two of the biggest, and most talented MMA fighters.  While, Lesnar played his part, and showed his dominance in UFC and WWE, Fedor is one of the greatest fighters to have never been to both.

While just a fantasy, fans salivate even on the thoughts of the potential matchup between Brock Lesnar and Fedor Emelianenko.

Why did a fight not happen between Brock Lesnar and Fedor Emelianenko?

While both Lesnar and Emelianenko are two of the greatest combat sports fighters of all time. However, both of them never crossed each other once. While it is a known fact that Dana White tried multiple times to sign Emeliannenko, he failed every time.

It was Fedor Emelianenko who refused on signing the deal, thus ending all scenarios of the legendary heavyweight going off against The Beast Incarnate. There exists no other reason for the fight not happening, except for one of the fighters not agreeing to a deal.

While both of them are nearly the same age, they never crossed each other’s path. Both the fighters are now retired, and fans can only hope for them to return to the octagon once again. And face each other for one last time. Who do you think will win the bout if it manifests into reality? Let us know in the comments below.
