Daniel Cormier raised concerns considering Tony Ferguson’s prospect

The remarks Cormier made in a recent interview with The Mac Life were audacious. He outlined the issues that prevent Ferguson from giving his opponents a fierce fight. He sought to emphasize Ferguson’s body as the primary impediment to his activities. The post, primarily surfaced his comments.

He said, “While he still has a ton of heart to fight, it just does not seem like his body is allowing him to do everything that his mind is telling him to do. Because of that, and only that, I think it might be time for him to either say to the UFC, I want to keep fighting but the competition needs to go down, or go fight somewhere else … yes, the fight is still there. It just does not seem the body is able to respond in the way his mind is telling it to.”
