Daniel Cormier reveals likely replacement when UFC CEO Dana White retires: ‘He seems like he’s being primed’

UFC Hall of Fame star, Daniel Cormier has claimed current Chief Business Officer, Hunter Campbell is likely being “primed” to take the reigns as the promotional CEO from the incumbent Dana White — once the latter retires from his post, touting Campbell as a vital cog in the company machine.

Cormier, a former two-weight champion at both the light heavyweight and heavyweight limits during his spectacular tenure in the Octagon, called time on his combat sports career back in 2020, following a rubber match trilogy loss to fellow retired veteran, Stipe Miocic.

Since then, Cormier has turned his hand to color-commentary duty, often seated alongside fellow color analyst, Joe Rogan — and leading play-by-play man, Jon Anik.
