Former WWE Superstar Vladimir Kozlov Down for An MMA Fight Against Brock Lesnar

Kozlov stated that if the fight does happen, then he will have to give his entire focus into it. Kozlov added that he likes challenges as well.

But it can be interesting, I like challenges

Brock Lesnar has not been seen inside the squared circle since WrestleMania 36 and hasn’t competed in an MMA fight since 2016 as well. We wonder if Lesnar and Kozlov will eventually face off against each other in the Octagon.
