Daniel Cormier will be covering WWE WrestleMania Goes Hollywood for ESPN.
The former UFC Heavyweight and Lightweight Champion enjoys wrestling. Last year, he served as a special guest referee for the Fight Pit between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle at Extreme Rules.
Cormier confirmed to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso that he would be attending WWE’s biggest event of the year. Because of his history with Brock Lesnar, he joked that if Lesnar gets in his way at WrestleMania, things might get physical.
“If Brock steps in my way?” Cormier said. “I’ll smack him upside his head.”
Following Cormier’s KO victory over Stipe Miocic, Cormier and Lesnar clashed in the octagon at UFC 226. The UFC had planned a fight between them in August 2019, but it never took place.
Lesnar reportedly turned down a match with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania in favor of wrestling Omos, a match reportedly suggested by Vince McMahon.
