Junior Dos Santos Says Cormier vs Lesnar Would Be Disrespectful To Everyone In MMA

Junior dos Santos says that a title fight between UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar would be disrespectful.

”DC’ was able to score a KO win over Stipe Miocic to win the UFC heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 226 pay-per-view event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Post-fight, there was an intense moment between Cormier and the former UFC heavyweight champion.

Lesnar’s last fight under the UFC banner came back at UFC 200 in July of 2016 against Mark Hunt. This marked Lesnar’s return to MMA after an almost five-year retirement.

For JDS, he thinks no one other than “DC” and Lesnar want this fight to happen. He also believes that if Lesnar gets this title shot then he will consider it a slap in the face.

“This thing where Daniel Cormier wants to fight Brock Lesnar; I know he wants to make money, but it doesn’t make any sense,” Dos Santos told MMA Junkie. “The only one who wants to see that fight or make that fight is him. Nobody else wants to see that.

“Of course Brock Lesnar he’s a very polemic guy so people like to watch him and they pay to watch him, that’s why he wants to fight him. But man, that would be ridiculous to have him back in the sport and have him fighting for the title already,” he added. “It would be kind of disrespect to all of us in the sport and even with the organization. I don’t think that’s the thing to make, but whatever. Politics are politics.”
