Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold spoke about a possible duel between his friend Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar.

On July 7 Cormier knocked out Stipe Miocic and added to his collection heavyweight champion title and  challenged Lesnar in the octagon. Brock walked into the cage and immediately pushed Daniel into the chest, after which they almost broke out into the fight.

"I was assessing what was going on, because I had thoughts to speak in the style of the Diaz brothers," Luke said. "I thought of jumping on Lesnar's back and kicking him in the head. As soon as Lesnar appeared in the arena, I realized that it will not end like this. He quickly climbed to the octagon and immediately pushed Cormier. I saw Daniel stay calm, so he just laughed at this situation. However, I'm far from a fan of Lesnar and would gladly go home with his foot.

“I do not like Brock. He is a real cheater who did not pass the doping test before the fight with Mark Hunt. Now the UFC returns this rogue with open arms, which only confirms the presence of problems in our sport. I understand Cormier, he wants to make money. I wish him all the best and I want him to kick Brock's ass. But I'm annoyed that the UFC supports the cheater. You will not see this in any other sport. It's sad that everyone talks about it."
