Daniel Cormier Says Brock Lesnar Chose WWE Money Over UFC Superfight After UFC 226 Shove
DC drops the truth bomb on Lesnar’s decade-long absence from the UFC, alleging financial priorities over a marquee return.

Daniel Cormier dropped a bombshell on Brock Lesnar’s UFC absence, alleging the former UFC heavyweight champion chose WWE’s guaranteed paycheck over a potential superfight following the infamous shove at UFC 226. Citing financial incentives as the deciding factor, Cormier framed Lesnar’s decade-long octagon absence as a calculated move rather than a loyalty issue or injury concern. The claim, made during a recent interview, directly ties Lesnar’s departure from the UFC to WWE’s lucrative contract offers, which prioritize stability over fight-night payouts.
