Daniel Cormier finds notion he doesn't deserve another title shot 'very disrespectful'

Daniel Cormier heard the naysayers after the announcement he would step in and meet Anthony Johnson for the vacant light heavyweight title in the main event of UFC 187.

The haters claimed that because Cormier recently lost to the man who was stripped of the title, Jon Jones, he therefore had no business going straight into a title fight.

But DC is having none of that. On Monday's edition of The MMA Hour, Cormier basically said that he found the whole idea he doesn't deserve the fight insulting.

"I'm walking into a fight with Anthony Johnson and I'm going to get destroyed by him," Cormier said.
