Daniel Cormier News

Harry Kettle - April 6, 2022

MMA analyst Chael Sonnen has agreed with Daniel Cormier that for now, Khamzat Chimaev needs to remain a mystery in the media. This Saturday night at UFC 273, Khamzat Chimaev will meet Gilbert Burns in what is easily the biggest fight of his professional mixed martial arts career thus far. If he’s able to secure an impressive finish over the Brazilian, there’s every chance he could be rewarded with a title shot against Kamaru Usman.

Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier is concerned over the whole buddy-buddy thing between Khamzat Chimaev and Darren Till.

Daniel Cormier has offered his take on the ongoing Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen saga. ‘Bones’ and ‘The Bad Guy’ have been feuding for years. Even after their UFC 159 headliner ended in a dominant win for Jones, they’ve kept talking. For years, Sonnen took aim at the former champion’s history with the law, and now, he is returning the favor.

Daniel Cormier has warned Kamaru Usman that Canelo Alvarez won’t “carry him” like Floyd Mayweather did with Conor McGregor. Usman (20-1 MMA) is eager to step in the ring with Canelo Alvarez for a boxing match-up that would pit the two pound-for-pound No. 1 fighters in their respective sports. Usman would need UFC President, Dana White to be ‘on board’ to approve such a move.

Daniel Cormier has reacted to Jorge Masvidal’s alleged assault on Colby Covington. Earlier this month, ‘Chaos’ and ‘Gamebred’ squared off in the main event of UFC 272. The fight itself had a lot of bad blood heading in, as the two welterweights used to be friends. However, the bout itself was anything but close. Covington dominated en route to a unanimous decision victory.

UFC President Dana White knows who could replace him and it isn’t Daniel Cormier. It’s difficult to imagine the UFC without Dana but it’ll happen one day. The UFC boss is known for being in the public eye and helping keep the UFC a well-oiled machine. Fans have long championed for Daniel Cormier to be White’s replacement when the time comes but it looks like that would be a pipe dream.

Daniel Cormier seemingly isn’t a fan of Alex Pereira’s callout of Jared Cannonier. ‘Poatan’ is coming off a victory over Bruno Silva at UFC Vegas 50 last Saturday. Following the bout, the former kickboxing champion decided to call out the number two ranked middleweight Jared Cannonier. That’s in spite of the fact that ‘Killa Gorilla’ is set to face Israel Adesanya next.

Daniel Cormier has questioned his teammate Luke Rockhold’s decision to call out Paulo Costa. The former UFC middleweight champion has been out of the Octagon since July 2019, where he lost to Jan Blachowicz. He was set to make a return last November against Sean Strickland but was forced out due to injury. Now, Rockhold seemingly has an opponent in mind for a return.

Daniel Cormier has revealed that he wasn’t in line with the judges in the UFC 271 main event. ‘DC’ was on the broadcast for the UFC pay-per-view event.

Chael Sonnen has questioned Daniel Cormier for suggesting recency bias has played a role in people comparing Israel Adesanya to Anderson Silva. While Anderson Silva is often regarded as the middleweight GOAT by the MMA masses, some have argued that Israel Adesanya could be sneaking his way into the conversation. Alas, Daniel Cormier recently rejected that notion, indicating that he believed Adesanya still has work to do if he wants to be put on the same pedestal as “The Spider”.

Josh Evanoff - February 3, 2022

Daniel Cormier has weighed in on the middleweight GOAT conversation. Israel Adesanya is set to fight Robert Whittaker for the second time at UFC 271. If ‘The Last Stylebender’ wins, it’ll be his 4th title defense, and put his professional record at a stellar 22-1.

Daniel Cormier has sounded off on Jon Jones for his criticism of Francis Ngannou after UFC 270. After Ngannou defeated Ciryl Gane by decision to defend his heavyweight title for the first time, Jones said he wasn’t impressed with his performance. However, it should be noted that Ngannou fought with a torn MCL among other knee injuries, which Cormier says impacted him and why “Bones” shouldn’t criticize the heavyweight champion’s performance.

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has said that the contract drama between Francis Ngannou and the UFC may be impacting him. It’s no secret that Francis Ngannou has had his fair share of disagreements with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As of this writing he’s still part of the roster but after UFC 270 this Saturday, his future will be uncertain as his current contract with the promotion expires.

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has given his five bold predictions for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2022. While he may no longer be an active member of the roster, Daniel Cormier is still one of the most important analysts the UFC has at their disposal. From PPV commentating to his DC & RC show on ESPN, the former two-weight world champion is one of the voices of the promotion.

Harry Kettle - January 14, 2022

UFC commentator Michael Bisping believes Daniel Cormier’s rivalry with Jon Jones is impacting his views on Jones’ future. Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones faced off twice in their iconic rivalry with Jones coming out on top in both instances – although the second was later changed to a no contest. It’s clear to see that both men still don’t like one another and in a recent episode of DC & RC, Cormier said he doesn’t think Jones will win the UFC heavyweight title when he finally challenges for it.

Daniel Cormier believes fellow former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor could “skip the line” and fight Charles Oliveira next. In a YouTube interview, the Schmo speaking to Daniel Cormier about the possibility of a McGregor vs Oliveira lightweight match this summer commented:

Fans will never hear Daniel Cormier refer to UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman as ‘Marty’ ever again. That’s according to the man himself, as ‘DC’ recently opened up on how ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ became known as ‘Marty’ during his amateur wrestling days.
