Ric Flair Thinks Harley Race Would Dominate UFC If He Was Still Alive, Compares Brock Lesnar to Race
– During a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair shared his belief that the late Harley Race would be the king of the UFC if he was still alive. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Ric Flair on how Harley Race would’ve dominated UFC: “Harley would’ve been the king of the UFC if he was alive without any training. You have no idea.”
On how Brock Lesnar is our current-day version of Race: “Brock is our version of Harley Race today. The difference is Brock wouldn’t bite your nose off. I don’t think he has it in him. Brock wouldn’t pull your eye out.” This fact shocked Rogan, who remained incredulous about the removal of eyes.
Flair on seeing someone’s eye get pulled out during a fight: “Many times. Simple, boom … I’ve seen it twice. … They were fans in the bar, starting a fight. These weren’t wrestlers, these were guys who thought they were tough.”
