Francis Ngannou: “I Want Brock Lesnar”

by Nicholas Bell Updated by GI Team on Feb 18, 2025

UFC Heavyweight Francis Ngannou is one of the biggest potential stars in the UFC.

He parlayed a combination of impressive appearance, incredible persona story, and wicked knockout reel into a Heavyweight title fight with Stipe Miocic late last year. Miocic ground him down over five rounds to retain the title, but now Ngannou is ready to fight again. And he has a special opponent in mind.


Monday on the MMA Hour, Ngannou called out WWE Legend and former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

“Please Brock, come back, come back my friend. We need you here. We need you to put the fun in this division. I need you to give me that f*cking fight I’ve been waiting for for a long time, I’ve been dreaming for.

“I like the fight. He look like — I don’t know if you ever seen this guy, he looks very, very big and strong. And I really want to try that.”

Other suggested names are fellow slugger Derrick Lewis and Heavyweight legen Mark Hunt. Ngannou said he is open to fighting either, but made it clear who his first choice is:

“It’s up to what (the UFC) want to give me. There are a lot of people out there who want to fight me. I saw Mark Hunt, he would be a great one. By myself, I want Brock. Brock Lesnar.”


Brock Lesnar is currently signed to the the WWE, where he reigns as the heavyweight champion. However, UFC President Dana White, as not-so-subtly hinted that Lesnar could be making a return in 2018.

Lesnar, now age 40, last appeared in the Octagon at UFC 200, the results for him were a decision victory over Mark Hunt and two failed drug tests. But Brock didn’t seem to care. He simply announced his retirement, took his million dollar purse, and returned to WWE as the bout was overturned to a no-contest.


It’s unclear how a return for Lesnar would be coordinated with doping regulations, but Ngannou seems confident he will get that fight.

“Listen, there are the three ones who want me and me, I want Brock.”
