The soap opera regarding the future of Brock Lesnar It's barely started and promises to be long. Free from his contract with WWE, the largest pro-wrestling organization in the world, the former UFC heavyweight champion (120kg) had his name linked to Dana White's company and also to Bellator. Including, Jon Jones expressed interest in the superfight and those who didn't like hearing about it were Stipe Miocic. To the podcast Believe you me, Michael Bisping, the number one in the category also wants to face Lesnar and believes he should be the UFC's first option and not the former light heavyweight champion (93kg).

“100%! If Lesnar fights again, I think I should be the UFC's top option or be asked first. I didn’t know Jones was running things,” Miocic said.
There is nothing confirmed, but, according to Dana White, Miocic's next opponent will be Francis Ngannou and the champion even said that he would like something new, since he defeated him previously, but he preached respect.
“I’m going to focus on what worked against Ngannou. He's improved a lot since we faced each other, so have I and I have to keep evolving. MMA is like that. If a fighter stops for a while, the others improve and he falls behind. I can't insist too much on what worked, because Ngannou will certainly work on it. Maybe I'll change the takedowns a little, have a different strategy and I can win by submission, instead of staying on top of him, as many people think I did”, he concluded.
Although he has not decided whether he will remain in WWE or return to MMA, the race to define who will be his opponent Brock Lesnar is justified by the fact that the former heavyweight champion is one of the athletes who sold the most pay-per-view packages in both sports.
