MMA legend, Kamaru Usman He shocked the world by giving a controversial and unpopular opinion. After recovering in the UFC in June, in Atlanta (USA), the former welterweight king (up to 77,1 kg), while awaiting a new fight, works as a commentator on the podcast 'Pound 4 Pound', alongside Henry CejudoAnd in the most recent edition, the Nigerian designed what a hypothetical fight would look like. Jon Jones x Brock Lesnar.

As the RAF wrestling organization has been growing rapidly and strengthening its position in the combat sports scene by having several fighters linked to the UFC, Cejudo asked his friend who would win between 'Bones' and the 'Beast Incarnate'. Without fear of the consequences, Usman predicted that Lesnar would prevail against Jones on the mat.

It's worth noting that, based solely on wrestling, Brock had a superior career to Jon's. However, in the UFC, 'Bones' simply dominated. Daniel Cormier, who was part of the US national team in the sport for years. In any case, Usman emphasizes that Lesnar's imposing physique, even at 48 years old, could make the difference against the MMA icon at RAF. Cejudo, on the other hand, bet that Jones would win.

“That’s a tough one. I’d have to choose Lesnar, even though I think Jones would probably be a bit more offensive. I think with those limbs, attacking from below a guy as big as Lesnar, trying to take him down… He could maintain his posture, fight close, which definitely weighs heavily and wears down a guy in the heavyweight division,” said the MMA legend.
