Daniel Cormier Tempted by Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou Fight

Daniel Cormier Tempted by Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou Fight

UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier

is 38 years old and has accomplished tremendous things in his career. 

Save for defeating Jon Jones in the Octagon, Cormier has defeated all comers, which included defeating some of the best heavyweight in the world to become the Strikeforce heavyweight champion.

Though his run through the UFC has been almost entirely at light heavyweight, Cormier wouldn’t rule out a return to the heavyweight division for one last hurrah against the likes of current champion Stipe Miocic or No. 1 contender Francis Ngannou, who are squaring off in the UFC 220 main event on Jan. 20 in Boston. Cormier will put his belt on the line opposite Volkan Oezdemir in the co-main event.

“(Fighting Miocic or Ngannou) would be the most amazing thing in the world,” Cormier told MMAjunkie Radio, although it’s not as simple as saying “I do.”

“That would take some thinking,” Cormier continued, “some talking and a real solid plan to try to get back to the type of weight that I would need to compete against those guys. Because, again, I’m not going in there to lose and say I gave it my best shot. If I go in there with Miocic or Ngannou, I’m going to win. That’s just who I am.
