UFC commentator Daniel Cormier reveals what part of mixed martial arts he misses

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has spoken openly about what he misses from his mixed martial arts career.

These days, Daniel Cormier is best known for commentating on fights and breaking down everything MMA and boxing related on his podcast with Chael Sonnen. Back in the day, though, he was one of the best fighters of his generation, standing tall as a two-weight world champion in the UFC.

Cormier had some amazing moments inside the Octagon but after being retired for a few years now, it can be easy for fans to forget about what he was able to accomplish, especially if they didn’t see him compete during his prime. Either way, though, he holds a special place in the history books.

In a recent interview, Cormier spoke about what he misses from his days in the cage – and it wasn’t necessarily to do with the actual fighting.
