Jon Jones seems confident of getting the better of Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar could be the hottest free agent from WWE and he has attracted the attention on Jon Jones.
Lesnar is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and has had a couple of stints in the MMA business. However, he is also one of the biggest stars in the world of professional wrestling. Reports claimed that the Beast was a free agent as WWE failed to tie him down to a new deal.
His merchandise was also removed from the WWE Store and this could be one reason why Paul Heyman had joined forces with Roman Reigns.
This news will be huge for all promotions across the world and Bellator chief, Scott Coker, was keen on getting Lesnar in his promotion.
Coker also had a rival ready for Lesnar as he spoke to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani:
Asked Bellator President Scott Coker if he has interest in Brock Lesnar, and he replied:
“Yes, if he’s truly available. Fedor vs. Brock is interesting. It’s the fight that never happened!”

While this would be an excellent bout, there is another one who is keen on taking him on.
Jones vs Lesnar
Jones is considered as one of the greatest MMA stars of all time and he was dissecting the moves in his new division.
The Light Heavyweight Champion vacated his title to move up to the Heavyweight one. He wants to face Stipe Miocic for the gold and explained why this fight would make sense rather than one against Francis Ngannou.
Ngannou has been harping on a clash against Miocic but has been called out by Jones in the past too. However, he claimed he would be ready by when Miocic had healed after his title clash against Daniel Cormier.
While that is an excellent fight that could be big, Bones also chipped in by saying that he would beat Lesnar’s “a**” too.
Brock I’ll beatcho ass too

There is no surety of where Lesnar will go and being 43, he might not be able to perform to his best in an MMA octagon.
However, Lesnar vs Jones would be a blockbuster match too and this left many fans confused and excited at the same time.
Not gonna lie, that's true. More people will remember brock beating taker in a scripted show than this guy at whatever he does in UFC.

Ok, I'm getting on board now. Stipe is a tough mountain to climb, I'm excited and I know Jonny Bones is excited so he's going to be the best Bones we've ever seen. Francis is the new generation and a little wait wont hurt, the world needs this super fight.
