All I know is, you've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm a human being, goddamn it. My life has value."*
I'm not saying it was anger that drove Daniel Cormier through that fight. By the end of it he seemed to have nothing but gratitude for Gustafsson for pushing him to the limits of his physical potential. But, it does feel like Cormier is making a statement as to his value in the light heavyweight division. While Jon Jones has been away, most of the talk about the belt itself has been centered around, how long before Jones gets it back?
