Cormier: There’s no tension between AKA and Dana
Daniel Cormier: “I think the majority of it comes down to money and opportunity. But if you think about our gym, a lot of us have a great relationship with the UFC.”
Daniel Cormier recently spoke to MMA Junkie about two of it’s fighters leaving the UFC for Bellator and whether or not there is any tension between the gym and UFC President Dana White:
If you look at Koscheck’s statements, and he’ll say, ‘I have no beef with the UFC,’ Cormier said. So it’s kind of weird. It’s almost like he says things and he almost takes them back. I don’t think there’s any issues. I don’t really speak to those guys on their business issues like that.
I think the majority of it comes down to money and opportunity. But if you think about our gym, a lot of us have a great relationship with the UFC – Cain Velasquez, Luke Rockhold, Khabib Numagomedov – and we’re all at different points of our career.
