Daniel Cormier may have confirmed his retirement after UFC 252, but he did leave the door ajar. As the former double-champion stated during his post-fight conversation with Joe Rogan, he’s only interested in taking title bouts if he does carry on fighting.
But if it were up to his head coach at the American Kickboxing Academy Javier Mendez, Cormier would stay retired.
“He needs to stop. He’s 41, and the truth is that he’s not the same person I had when he was 27 years old. He’s gone down a bit,” Mendez said in Spanish on Hablemos MMA (via MMA Junkie).
