CM Punk Fighting for UFC Again
…
During a Facebook Live chat, UFC Fighter Jon Jones was asked about possibly having a fight against Brock Lesnar sometime down the line. Jones responded, “It would be a massive draw, really big for the sport.”
He continued, “It would be a great challenge. [He’s] a big old boy. I doubt Brock Lesnar would take that fight, though. I definitely wouldn’t try to wrestle with him the whole time. I’m not going to tell you what I would do.”
Jones also spoke to BT sports and made similar remarks when asked about a possible fight against the current WWE Universal Champion. You can check it out in the video embedded below:
Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reached out to Lesnar about Jones’ comments and Lesnar responded, “Would I fight Jon Jones? Anytime. Anywhere. Right now he should be worried about [Cormier] on Saturday night.”
After Sunday’s Slammiversary event went off the air, Alberto El Patron cut a promo and took another shot at WWE.
El Patron called refereed to WWE as “that f***ing company full of losers” and said that he would would happily fight Lashley again because they’re not “f***ing sports entertainer.” The crowd then erupted in a “f**k WWE” chant.
