Brock Lesnar nearly shoved Daniel Cormier out of Octagon after UFC 226

After a sensational event in Las Vegas, there was still time for a moment of madness.

UFC 226 was headlined by a heavyweight showdown between then-champion Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier. 

The co-main event saw Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis go toe-to-toe.

Many believed that the fight wouldn’t last the first round and that the winner would face the winner of the Miocic/Cormier fight.

Regretfully, it was dubbed the ‘worst fight in heavyweight history.’

In the dying moments of the first round, Cormier landed a brutal blow in the clinch to knock Miocic out and become a two-division champion.

What happened next was truly remarkable. 

Leading up to UFC 226, there were whispers with regards to a possible return for the former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

Coincidentally, The Beast Incarnate was in attendance.

In the post-fight interview, Cormier proceeded to call Brock out.

During the interview, Lesnar entered the cage and opted to push Daniel in typical WWE fashion.

Following the push, Cormier said: “Push me now, you go to sleep later Brock!”

Immediately, security was on hand to keep the pair separated. After the iconic callout, many believed that a fight would materialise. 

Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be the case.

Lesnar’s issues outside the cage meant that it was nearly impossible for the former champion to make a dramatic return.

Instead, Cormier would go on to defend his heavyweight
