Jon Jones threatened to "embarrass" Brock Lesnar if the former UFC heavyweight champion steps out of retirement for a superfight with him.
After toying with a comeback, Lesnar informed the UFC several months ago his gloves have been hung up for good. However, WWE's Kurt Angle said Monday his longtime pal would consider returning to the cage to duel Jones if the light heavyweight titleholder moves up a weight class.

Lesnar last appeared in the Octagon in July 2016 at UFC 200. His victory over Mark Hunt was later overturned to a no-contest after a failed drug test.
The 42-year-old has signed multiple short-term contracts with WWE since going back to professional wrestling in 2012.
As for Jones, he's received calls to join the heavyweight pool after cleaning up his current division.
