Cormier: I hope Jones was watching
Daniel Cormier: “Could you imagine him sitting there watching me of all people get the belt? If the roles were reversed, I would be going insane if I had to watch him…”
Daniel Cormier won the vacant UFC light heayvweight title at UFC 187 and is hoping that the man that vacated watched him do it:
Daniel Cormier is the UFC light heavyweight champion. Regardless of who you believe is the best fighter, Cormier won the title by choking out Anthony Johnson in the third round Saturday night at UFC 187 in Las Vegas.
And Cormier hopes Jon Jones, the former champ, was tuning in from home on pay-per-view.
“I hope he was,” Cormier told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “Could you imagine him sitting there watching me of all people get the belt? If the roles were reversed, I would be going insane if I had to watch him do that if I was in his situation. He doesn’t want to see me win. He doesn’t want to see me carry what he probably feels is still his title, which it isn’t — it’s mine.”
