As buzz surrounding the possible UFC return of WWE star Brock Lesnar continues to grow, however, Miocic is likely to get more and more questions about a potential matchup with the hulking former champion.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wrestling\/2018\/03\/14\/wwe-news-Brock-Lesnar-Stipe-Miocic-Wrestlemania\">Sports Illustrated<\/a>,\u00a0Miocic addressed a possible matchup with Lesnar. While Miocic gives Lesnar his due respect, he is extremely confident about his chances in this prospective showdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrock is a former champ and he knows how to bring it,\u201d Miocic said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/themaclife.com\/featured-posts\/stipe-miocic-bad-match-brock-lesnar\/\">The Mac Life<\/a>) \u201cHe\u2019s tough, he\u2019s very strong and beaten a lot of good guys, but I am a bad match-up for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, at this point, the three-time defending champion Miocic feels he matches up well with pretty much everybody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI match up well with anyone,\u201d\u00a0added Miocic. \u201cThat has a lot to do with my coaches, teammates, and my training. I always have a good game plan walking in on the day of a fight. With Brock, I\u2019d win, there\u2019s no question. But right now, all I care about is fighting DC. That\u2019s all I\u2019m worried about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since winning the UFC heavyweight title with a first-round knockout of Fabricio Werdum, Stipe Miocic has defending it with similarly impressive first-round knockouts of Alistair Overeem and Junior Dos Santos, and most recently, a decision win over the massively hyped Francis Ngannou.<\/p>\n<p>How do you think a fight between Stipe Miocic and Brock Lesnar would go down?
