Brock Lesnar Says He’d Fight Jon Jones — Anytime! Anywhere!
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.”
The Taz Show Recap – Bringing Actors into WWE, Lesnar Returning to RAW Tonight, Losing is Bray Wyatt’s Job, More!
Blocks 1 & 2:
A listener calls into the show and informs that he recently watched an episode of Lucha Underground and was fascinated by Dario Cueto’s performance. Taz agrees and points out that the actor who portray’s Cueto on Lucha Underground never worked in the wrestling business before, rather he’s an actor who was brought in to play that role.
The caller also asks Taz if he thinks WWE would ever go down the same road, by bringing in actors to play authority figures or managers on WWE programming. Taz doesn’t think WWE would do this because the wrestling business is somewhat of a fraternity, and they like to stick to their own. It would also be a lot of work to train actors into the wrestling business, in terms of how the business works backstage and in front of a live audience.
Taz’s Producer Dennis Jones attended a CZW show this past weekend and although this overly violent brand of wrestling normally isn’t his cup of tea, he had a good time at this show. Taz says that CZW has been around for a long time and while it certainly isn’t for everyone, WWE Superstars such as Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper got their start in CZW.
