Widely regarded as the successor to Harley Race as the face of the NWA, Ric Flair, in a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, shared his belief that the late Race would dominate UFC today if he was still alive. The Nature Boy said,
“Harley would’ve been the king of the UFC if he was alive without any training. You have no idea.”
The 16-time World Champion also went on to draw parallels between his predecessor/rival and another all-time great, Brock Lesnar. Naitch branded Lesnar the modern-day version of Harley Race, before stating that Lesnar is not as bad as Race. He said,
“Brock is our version of Harley Race today. The difference is Brock wouldn’t bite your nose off. I don’t think he has it in him. Brock wouldn’t pull your eye out.”
