– Jon Jones defeated Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA on Saturday night to win the UFC light heavyweight championship. After his victory at UFC tonight, Jon Jones called out WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar replied “Be careful what you wish for, young man,”
UFC President Dana White was in the Octagon when Jones called out Lesnar on Saturday night and also commented on the bout.
“It’s fun to talk about, but the reality of it happening anytime soon, it’s not a reality,” White said.
“If I’m going to sacrifice being the smaller guy, I think stylistically, Brock [Lesnar] would be a fight that makes more sense,” Jones said. “The payday would be tremendous. The (impact) for our sport would be tremendous. … I feel like Stipe is not known to the general public. Most people don’t really know who he is, no disrespect. A fight against Brock makes more sense.”
