Shortly after his UFC 214 defeat of Daniel Cormier, which earned him the UFC light heavyweight title, Jon Jones began doubling down on his calls for a fight with former UFC heavyweight champ and long-time WWE superstar Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n
\u201cMan, it would be like a modern day\u00a0David and Goliath<\/a>\u00a0situation,\u201d Jones recently told Sway in the Morning of a potential battle with Lesnar. \u201cThis guy is a freak athlete. NCAA national wrestling champion. I mean he\u2019s built like \u2013 he\u2019s such a special athlete. I think a lot of people would assume that I would lose that fight and when you get an argument like that where people really don\u2019t know who is going to win, that\u2019s when the money is created. That\u2019s when you get the main stream, general public wanting to tune into this freak show, right? The little guy versus this monster.”<\/em><\/p>\n
“I know that it\u2019s possible to beat a guy like him. I think, the higher the risk, the higher the reward and great things are never supposed to come easy. And so, that it what I\u2019m striving for, is greatness, to do the unthinkable.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
While Jones also recently acknowledged that, because of Brock Lesnar’s current USADA suspension, this fight might have to wait<\/a>, he recently continued his push for it my sharing an (unofficial) promotional poster for it on Instagram. See this poster below:<\/p>\n
