Max Holloway and Daniel Cormier’s Friendship
The Hawaiian fighter is a good friend of Daniel Cormier, and the friendship keeps growing over years. They call each other out frequently on the internet. However, ‘Blessed’ looks up to Cormier as a fighter and also draws inspiration from him.
In an interview with Yahoo Sports Holloway said, “Ah for sure, for sure. ‘DC’ is a big help I call him out all the time about being the daddest man on the planet…. We can fight at super heavyweight DC, Daddest man on the planet I own that belt. But all jokes aside, that guy is a big help you know?”
He added, “He calls me here and there to check in just to talk about stuff, talk about life, talk about the way I approach fights. I got to talk to him a little bit during this camp here and there and he talks to me about approaching, his mindset and these are the kinds of things to think of. It’s super cool that I got someone like that on my side, you know? That’s been there, done that, and I get to learn through him.”
Cormier retired from the combat sports in 2019. Meanwhile, ‘The Blessed One’ is currently #2 in the featherweight roster of the UFC and combat fans are excited to see what he brings to the table next.
