Daniel Cormier believes he can win in standup or wrestling with Gustafsson

UFC light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier see's many ways to win against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 192.

When Daniel Cormier fought Anthony Johnson to take home the vacant light-heavyweight title at UFC 187, the former Olympian used his wrestling ability to smother "Rumble" before eventually locking up the rear-naked choke in round three. It was a well-executed gameplan; "DC" used his grappling to neutralise Johnson's vicious striking in order to set up the submission.

According to the champ, though, Cormier believes he can beat striking specialist Alexander Gustafsson anywhere the fight takes place.
