Daniel Cormier: 'I Would Rather be Beltless than Fight Cain Velasquez or Luke Rockhold'
Спорт
When UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier got the opportunity of a lifetime to not only coach opposite heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic on The Ultimate Fighter, but also to challenge him for the belt in the UFC 226 headliner, the first thing he did was call good friend and teammate Cain Velasquez.
Velasquez is a two-time UFC heavyweight champion and has plans to get the belt back, but it won't be off the waist of Cormier. The two are like brothers and they absolutely refuse to fight each other in the Octagon.
They'll punch each other, knee each other, take each other down in training, preparing one another to beat any other fighter on the planet, but hey will not go toe-to-toe for the belt.
"I become the heavyweight champion of the world, he wins a comeback fight and is in line to fight for the title, I'd walk away again. There is no way I would ever fight him. This is his division."

He is a very good man and loyal to his team
As time passes I become more of fan of DC. World class guy.
Family over everything, my respect for DC doubled after this
Respect to Daniel, back a couple of years ago Jon jones & rashad Evans were best friends & the ufc made them turn against each other..
That's loyalty! I approve this!

Why is everybody so extreme, the man lost to wonderboy who domi ated Rory McDonald. Hes still a top 10 fighter in a badass divison.
Thing is some people say that but when it come down to it they wouldn't give up their belts. However DC would do exactly what he says
Wooooowww!!!! never heard anything like this...What a very strong declaration, means to say relationship is a far more priority than money!!! Nice lesson though to all who loves money.

Wow. Just wow. I really have ton of respect to this man. Always great champion in my eyes.
It is hard to find a bond that hard on friends! 💪🏻
That’s why I love DC !!!🥋🙏😌
This is what makes me love Cormier such a noble man
Loyalty is key. Respect. #SS
That's how Friends R.
Una pregunta cuando peleara cain Velasquez si saven dejame saver grasias
What a gentleman! 👌
No sound...good work
BOOM! NOW THATS BROTHERHOOD!
Respect!
Fighting a mate is hard bcoz of the modern style of combat sport nowadays. People tend to trash talk before the fight and even unfortunate, some fighters trash talk after the fight. Not to say people don't trash talk then, but nowadays trash talking has been like a must-do before a fight. If cormier is open, and take the cain or luke fight as just a combat sport, where sportsmanship is the most important thing to be considerated, then dc vs cain or dc vs luke will just be alright.
BROTHERHOOD
Huge respect for this man❤🙌💥🇮🇳
They are pretty good friends they will still be friends after they fight

Tajhae Scott-Walls I honestly wonder if the friendship is ever the same after two friends fight each other.
I like that from Daniel Cormier . He would never fight Cain or Luke . Their friendship is more important than the money 👏
Some fighters will fight anyone anywhere anytime. Then there's cormier.
Dc is class.
Wow! They ain’t friends, that’s what you call brothers.
WOW!
Loyalty b4 royalty
True loyalty I really respect d.c.....Jones is a sorry excuse for a man
AKA has some great dudes. These buggers are like brothers.
DC won't have to worry about that.I believe once Stipe knocks him out DC will retire
“I’m not gonna give you half a sentence to spin” -President Trump
I don't he should say that, It is Business. After his massive win over Stipe Miocic, Derrick Lewis. I think he will win Cain Velasques in 2019
miocic esmaga 👊
Cain vs Stipe would be nuts..or when Jones comes back to fight Stipe.
I was in a tournament once. So was my business partner of the gym and best friend from childhood. He was good that day, and so was I. It came down to he and I in the final. I bowed out and he won by forfeit . He hasn't competed as much as I have and never made it too a final. We split the prize money and had a party. To this day we don't know who the better fighter between us is. And we never will know either. Besides, who actually really cares anyways? Friendship is worth much more than dick measuring.
D.C. doesn't have to worry about that. Stipe will crush him in July. Everyone will be satisfied.
Cain will get his belt back just wait and see

DANIEL. I’m a huge fan. But I’m not the type that would alter my lifestyle for anyone (ie hero worship). Over time I’ve come to respect you inside and moreso outside the ring. From chasing a truck to load it with toys to honouring your friend Caine u continue to impress. I am truly baffled that anyone can boo you....particularly whilst cheering Jones. The World can be shallow. I know you will probably never read this. If you do .....I’d pack my bags and be by your side a great
Dc for the win but Cain is the real man.
Who wins tho?

DC always said that Cain beat the shit out of him in training so I'd say Cain + Cain is bigger and also a high level wrestler with amazing striking
Respect but this why bones is way better than u...for cain we understand but to vacate your lightheavy weight belt for lose like luke tha doesnt make sense coming from a champion who had suffered much to get to this point
DC is a nice guy, After his massive win over Stipe Miocic, Derrick Lewis. He can beat both Luke rockhold and Cain velasques 2019
DC looking pretty trim here, I don't think he'll be fighting LHW any more, too many doughnuts lol
The last sign of skinny DC
Funny how he says that but is about to fight someone that could whoop both they ass 😂

Dylan Cheney ya well DC will dominate Miocic. DC is 2nd best afterall at least in LH after Jones. I predict he will swarm, outwork, and wrestlefuck Miocic.
Sad thing is Luke and Cain would fight him for the title.

Just another reason why you can’t not love DC

digfidge Lol. Totally agree! Jones would make the poor guy cry for a 3rd time. I have a ton of respect for DC but he did cry after both losses to Jones and he will forever be only 2nd best. All those morons calling Jones a cheater are ignorant. He was clean the first fight and still best DC. Also I doubt that any drug gave Jones the skill and timing to land that head kick, nope that was talent and training. DC is just not in Jones's league... period.
i bet a couple of millones of dollars would change your mind Dc lol
Punk. Scared Cain will beat him
And Bones still whooped that ass 2x
I would rather you hadn’t cried when bones knocked you out. But you did and that’s life. Teammates in mma know they got to fight each other. Eventually. Anyways after stipe slaps you silly you won’t have to worry. How about worrying more about your gut. And no more crying.
