Cormier will likely be facing Brock Lesnar for his maiden title defense at heavyweight, and the two already had the chance to get a feel of each other on Saturday night. After experiencing how it was to be pushed by the former heavyweight champion, Cormier was able to make a reasonable enough assessment of his next opponent.
“He’s very strong,” Cormier said. “He pushed me and I went falling back, and then when he got close, I pushed him back but I barely moved him. I’m like, gosh, I should’ve pushed him so much harder. I was like, ‘why would I push him so soft? Am I like kind of scared of Brock Lesnar?’ Like, why didn’t I push him a lot harder than I did?”
