Since the announcement that Brock Lesnar was coming back to MMA at UFC 199 on June 4, fans have waited with baited breath for ‘The Beast’s’ return to the Octagon.
One of the most popular and polarizing figures in the sport’s history was must-watch television as an MMA fighter, and he figures to be again however many more times he makes the walk to the cage.
Lesnar’s first dance partner will be the hard-hitting Mark Hunt, who makes for a great stylistic foil. Will Lesnar be able to get Hunt to the mat, or will “The Super Samoan” find Lesnar’s chin?
But win or lose for Lesnar at UFC 200, the next fight he takes in the UFC (should we be lucky enough to get another), that makes the most sense for him is a long-rumored bout against Fedor Emelianenko.
With the UFC exclusively airing the Russian legend’s last fight at Eurasia Fight Nights 50 on UFC Fight Pass, a deal to get “The Last Emperor” inside the Octagon feels closer than ever. If Dana White were able to finally capture the legendary Emelianenko, having him square off with Lesnar makes too much sense not to put together.
Read on for the reasons why this is a layup booking for UFC matchmaker Joe Silva.
