Sometimes the best way to prove someone wrong is to just show up. That’s exactly what Brock Lesnar did at WWE’s SummerSlam event. This made Daniel Cormier’s recent “banned list” comments look pretty foolish in hindsight. The former UFC heavyweight champion has always been unpredictable, but his surprise return to the wrestling ring caught everyone off guard.<\/p>
Lesnar’s career has been nothing if not wild. The guy went from amateur wrestling champion to WWE superstar. He then shocked the MMA<\/a> world by becoming UFC heavyweight champion in just his fourth professional fight. He knocked out the legendary Randy Couture to win that belt, defended it twice, and then walked away from fighting while still relatively young. His ability to seamlessly move between worlds, from fake fighting to real fighting and back again has always made him one of the most fascinating athletes in combat sports.<\/p> Just weeks before Lesnar’s shocking return, Daniel Cormier had been pretty adamant about the wrestler’s status with the company. During an interview with UFC legend Demetrious Johnson, Cormier laughed off any possibility of seeing Lesnar back in action. He claimed the former champion was on some kind of “banned list” and suggested we might never even hear his name mentioned again by the company.<\/p> “I mean, Brock is on the banned list right now…Oh dude, Brock got into so much trouble.I ain’t telling you on air what Brock did. Brock is in so much trouble.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Daniel Cormier’s Confident ‘Banned’ Statement Goes Up In Smoke<\/h2>
