Daniel Cormier has never strayed far from his wrestling roots and his involvement with USA Wrestling will continue next month.
The UFC light heavyweight champion has been named as the honorary chairman of this year's World Cup of Freestyle Wrestling, it was announced Thursday. Cormier's primary role for the event will be promotion, which he is certainly no stranger to in the world of prize fighting.
The event will take place June 11 and 12 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Coincidentally, that is the same venue for UFC 199 on a week earlier on June 4.
