Daniel Cormier revealed he is waiting for the heavyweight title bout to happen in January next year. ‘DC’ himself has been a heavyweight champion at the promotion. Hence, it is expected that he would be interested in the heavyweight fight.

The double champ said, “For me, it’ll be the next time I see you on pay-per-view when Francis Ngannou fights Ciryl Gane. Oh my goodness! That is a massive fight, heavyweight championship fight, and listen, nothing better than heavyweight title fights. And when you have two guys like these two fighting for the championship at UFC 270 in Anaheim.”
