Daniel Cormier was on Conan (transcript via wrestlinginc.com) last night, and spoke about his UFC 226 confrontation with Brock Lesnar and says he willbe his next fight…

On Lesnar being His next Fight: “He’s gonna be the next guy I fight. He’s 6’4, 300 pounds. Brock Lesnar right now is the WWE Heavyweight Champion, a former UFC Champion. [He’s] a guy I’ve known for a long time and as I saw him through the cage I was getting ready to fight.”

On Lesnar’s Wardrobe Choice at UFC 226: “I usually go on second, but I went out first this time because I was challenging,” Cormier explained. “I was standing there trying not to look at Brock, I was like what’s he doing here? Then when I saw him come in he came in the cage and he was wearing a suit. For some reason he had the bottom of his suit pants tucked into cowboy boots. It was the weirdest visual you’ve ever seen. I don’t know what Brock was doing so at 6″5 300 pounds, he’s got his pants tucked into his boots and he throws me across the Octagon. I told him Brock, you get to push me now but when we fight you get to go to sleep in the Octagon, so I’m gonna put him to sleep.”
