Daniel Cormier: ‘I’m pretty sure’ UFC will take the 205-pound title away from me

On July 7th at UFC 226, Daniel Cormier became the second fighter in company history to simultaneously hold world titles in two different weight classes. But that can all change anytime soon, in Cormier’s mind, at least.

”I imagine they’re going to take that belt, because I am scheduled to fight Brock Lesnar [at heavyweight],” Cormier said on Monday’ episode of the Ariel Helwani MMA Show on ESPN. “I can’t fight at 205 first, so I’m pretty sure that they will take that title.”

Cormier is hoping for the Lesnar fight to happen as early as January 2019.
