He’ll be closer to the title than ever if he can beat Francis Ngannou at UFC 226, but he said he won’t mind if he’s skipped over in the queue by the returning Brock Lesnar . The possibility of Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) making another UFC run has been a hot topic in recent months. UFC President Dana White said it’s definitely happening , and even said there’s a good chance the former titleholder would be immediately inserted into a showdown with the winner of the UFC 226 title fight between Stipe Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) and Daniel Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC).
