According to the American wrestling legend, Lesnar will fight only one more time under the UFC banner, but only if it’s a fight against the current light heavyweight ruler Jon Jones.
“I know he said that he’s retired,” Kurt Angle said of Brock Lesnar on The Helwani Show. “The one fight he wants, and I don’t know if it’s ever going to happen, but he wants to go up against Jon Jones.”
Lesnar, 42, was last seen inside the Octagon in July 2016 against Mark Hunt when he defeated Hunt via UD, but later the result was overturned to “No Contest” because Lesnar had tested positive for the banned substance clomiphene.
“Bones” was quick with the answer and took it to his Twitter account, stating the following:
