Although no date has been given yet, Brock Lesnar vs Daniel Cormier was announced after the Olympian beat Stipe Miocic to claim the heavyweight belt. The fight is an interesting one as both are good wrestlers and Lesnar's return will surely garner interest from the casual fan-base.

Jones vs Lesnar, on the other hand, is an even more lucrative offering only because of all the different situations that would come forth. First, it is a more even match-up as Lesnar has an advantage of mass and wrestling going up against Jones' superior martial art skills.

Furthermore, Jones is better known globally compared to Cormier and is considered by most to be the best mixed martial artist to have ever lived. It would be a mammoth main event & could definitely end up being in the Top 5 in terms of commercial earnings and otherwise.
