UFC president Dana White might want to see Daniel Cormier move up in weight to challenge Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title, but ‘DC’ couldn’t think of anything worse at this stage of his career.
After his most recent light heavyweight title defense against top contender Volkan Oezdemir at UFC 220, Cormier, the former Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix champion, said he has no chance against the HW divisional elite.
According to Cormier, who trains alongside some of the best fighters in the world at San Jose’s American Kickboxing Academy, he can’t beat former two-time heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez in sparring.
