With Daniel Cormier dispatched, Jon Jones wasted no time eyeing up an even bigger target for his next fight.

"Brock Lesnar, you want to know what it feels like to get your ass kicked by someone 40 pounds lighter? Meet me in the Octagon," Jones said mere seconds after recapturing the light heavyweight title.

In the run-up to UFC 214, "Bones" expressed his interest in fighting the WWE Superstar. Lesnar quickly responded, saying he'd fight Jones "anytime, anywhere."

Lesnar weighed in at 265 pounds in his last UFC bout, 60 pounds heavier than the weight Jones fought at Saturday.

Last year, Lesnar was hit with a one-year suspension for a failed doping test and had his UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt overturned to a no-contest. He would have to re-enter the USADA testing pool and serve out his ban if he wants to meet Jones' challenge.
