Daniel Cormier News

Harry Kettle - November 27, 2024

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has shared his wishlist for bantamweight, including Sean O’Malley vs Henry Cejudo. Ever since he lost the UFC bantamweight championship, we haven’t heard much regarding the future of Sean O’Malley. Some believe he should get an immediate rematch against Merab Dvalishvili, whereas others disagree. Right now, it seems more likely that Petr Yan or Umar Nurmagomedov will receive such an opportunity.

Daniel Cormier is trying to clear the air with Bo Nickal. The undefeated Nickal, one of the hottest prospects in the UFC middleweight division, was back in action at UFC 309 last weekend, taking on Scotland’s Paul Craig. Nickal won the fight by decision, but the majority of fans seemed to be disappointed by his performance, and Cormier, who was on commentary duty, didn’t seem to be blown away either. In fact, Cormier was critical enough of his fellow wrestler’s performance that Nickal took issue with his comments after the fact.

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has responded to Bo Nickal’s recent comments. ‘DC’ was in the broadcast booth for the massive UFC 309 card in New York City over the weekend. On the main card, Bo Nickal returned to the octagon for the first time since a submission win over Cody Brundage in April. There, the former NCAA champion met Paul Craig, in the biggest test of his career thus far.

UFC star Bo Nickal has voiced his disappointment at Daniel Cormier’s commentary during his fight at UFC 309 last weekend. On Saturday night, Bo Nickal defeated Paul Craig in a fairly one-sided decision victory. With that being said, many were left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the performance. Nickal kept the bout standing on the feet and although he seemed to hurt Craig on a few occasions, he wasn’t able to secure the finish.

Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier may never be friends after their heated UFC rivalry, but their cordiality is improving over time. Jones will face former UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic in the UFC 309 main event on Saturday in New York. He’ll make his long-awaited first UFC heavyweight title defense almost two full years since winning the belt at UFC 285.

According to UFC commentator Daniel Cormier, Stipe Miocic was pretty frustrated after his face-off with Jon Jones. The 42-year-old former heavyweight champion is set to return tomorrow night in New York City. Back for the first time since a knockout loss to Francis Ngannou in early 2021, Stipe Miocic will face Jon Jones. ‘Bones’ won vacant UFC heavyweight gold with a first-round submission win over Ciryl Gane last March.

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier doesn’t believe that Jon Jones is afraid of fighting interim champion Tom Aspinall. Over the course of the last few years, Tom Aspinall has emerged as the leader of the new generation at heavyweight. From his striking to his speed and beyond, the Englishman has already achieved some great things in mixed martial arts.

Harry Kettle - November 8, 2024

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier believes a Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou superfight could still happen in the future. There’s an argument to be made that Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou is the biggest fight you could make in mixed martial arts. It didn’t happen during Francis’ days in the UFC, but even now that he’s with the PFL, fans and media members are still talking about it.

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier has explained why he doesn’t try to interview Conor McGregor at UFC events. One thing we know to be true about Conor McGregor is that he’s a pretty unpredictable guy. One minute he’s preparing to get back in the cage, and then the next, he’s caught up in an ongoing trial. The Irishman is a true enigma in mixed martial arts, and we’ll likely never see anything like him ever again.

UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier learned first-hand that tensions between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor will likely never cool off. McGregor and Nurmagomedov topped the most lucrative UFC pay-per-view ever at UFC 229. Their months of pre-fight bad blood boiled over inside, and outside, of the Octagon.

UFC lightweight Rinat Fakhretdinov has responded to Daniel Cormier’s fiery remarks at a recent Q+A session in reaction to his post-UFC 308 criticism of the commentary team. Fakhretdinov earned a controversial nod on the judges’ scorecards in his matchup with Carlos Leal at UFC 308 last month. He earned a unanimous decision despite many believing Leal, who was making his UFC debut, deserved the victory over Fakhretdinov.

Daniel Cormier doesn’t believe he has to be chummy with Jon Jones despite their rivalry being long gone. Cormier and Jones had a nasty feud under the UFC banner. The two brawled during a UFC 178 media day sessions. Jones defeated Cormier via unanimous decision in their first meeting. Their second clash initially ended in a knockout win for Jones, but that result was changed to a No Contest due to a failed drug test on Jones’ end. “Bones” has long maintained his innocence when it comes to using banned substances.

Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis isn’t happy with Daniel Cormier after previously imploring him to retire following a recent dominant loss. Lewis returns this Saturday against talented striker Jhonata Diniz at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Albazi. He’s looking to get on another win streak and move closer to the heavyweight title picture.

Daniel Cormier believes that Khamzat Chimaev has eclipsed Sean Strickland in the race for the next UFC middleweight title fight. Chimaev manhandled Robert Whittaker, one of the most respected middleweights in MMA. He forced Whittaker to tap out in the first round due to an injury. “The Reaper” claims his jaw is fine, but his bottom teeth were pushed in.

Fernando Quiles - October 27, 2024

Daniel Cormier has shared what he told Ilia Topuria following their UFC 308 post-fight interview. If there were any doubts about just how good Topuria is, they were stomped out by the end of his title fight against Max Holloway. “El Matador” became the first fighter to knock “Blessed” out.

Josh Evanoff - October 25, 2024

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier believes the PFL’s recent event shows a lack of competition. Last Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, the Donn Davis-led company held their biggest show to date. In the main event, former UFC champion Francis Ngannou competed for the first time since 2022 to face Renan Ferreira. Meanwhile, the co-main event featured the legendary Cris Cyborg facing PFL tournament winner Larissa Pacheco.

UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier appreciates the resurgence of Donald Cerrone’s competitive fire but believes it sets a bad precedent. Cerrone made headlines recently in a recent Instagram post, in which he announced his planned UFC comeback. He wants at least two more fights to hit 50 appearances under the UFC banner, although UFC CEO Dana White seems less than thrilled with Cerrone’s proposal.

UFC analyst Daniel Cormier has some profound concerns about Nick Diaz’s upcoming comeback fight against Vicente Luque. Diaz will face Luque at UFC 310 at the promotion’s final pay-per-view event of the year. He returns after a three-year absence, stemming from a loss to former UFC welterweight champ Robbie Lawler at UFC 266.
