At the recent UFC “Go Big” press conference, Daniel Cormier was quick to defend the Swede Alexander Gustafsson, but still brag that he was on another level than the challenger. β€œYou always talk about how close he fought Jon Jones, but what about his earth shattering win over Jimi Manuwa…. Really, you guys talk about a fight that he lost”. says the champion. “He fought a guy (Jon Jones) closer than I fought him” admits DC, but boasts he is on another level.

The Mauler today responded to the statements made by the wrestler last Saturday on Social Media:

A lot of media and you fans have asked what I think about DCs comment on the UFC GoBig press-conference?

You know, I think he is right, DC is a very loving and humble person and he says what he truly believes.

This will be a test for me, to meet the Champion in LHW division, the rightful Champion without question and one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world??!??!

I know have to work hard and be in excellent shape as DC is all year around. Right now I believe my weight is good 1 month before the fight, I used a nutritionist, so my weight cut could be as easy as DCs, I will not give him any advantage there.

With all of this said and no matter what DC thinks or believes, I will take that belt on October 3rd and once I have that belt, I hope you all stop talking how close I was getting it from Jon Jones and instead talk about my Earth-shattering win over Daniel Cormier for as long as you guys want smile emoticon
