Brock Lesnar is a famous name in the world of pro wrestling. With his exceptional skills inside the ring, he has gained a lot of popularity among the fans. Not to mention, he has participated in several matches and has bagged numerous championships. However, now it seems a former UFC double champion has ignored Lesnar while naming his favorite wrestler of all time.
The UFC legend in question is none other than Daniel Cormier. Recently, Cormier appeared in a conversation with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. During that, he said, “My boy Gunther is just so good. He’s my favorite wrestler of all time. He has surpassed The Macho Man.”

The former UFC Double added “I love Seth (Rollins), but Gunther…Gunther’s move is a Sleeper Hold, a Powerbomb, and he does this Splash off of the top rope, where he jumps off, and it is just awesome.” Thus, it can be understood that Cormier is very impressed with the in-ring skills of the current WWE Intercontinental Champion and names Gunther as his favorite wrestler of all time.
Meanwhile, it seems UFC legend Daniel Cormier has snubbed the former Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar. With that, now it remains to be seen if The Beast Incarnate will have anything to comment on the matter in the upcoming days.

Meanwhile, during the interview, he was asked about the consequences of what might happen if he came face to face with The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar at the pay-per-view event. To this Cormier replied, “If Brock steps in my way? I’ll smack him upside his head.”
However, the two didn’t cross paths at WrestleMania 39, but Brock Lesnar bagged a huge win against The Giant Omos at the PLE. With that, now it remains to be seen if Brock Lesnar will have anything to say to Cormier. Also, the WWE Universe will look forward to seeing the two legends inside the squared circle in a once-in-a-lifetime scenario.
