One of the greatest champions to ever step into the octagon, Daniel Cormier He faced some strong names during his time in MMA. Amidst the victories and defeats he's achieved over the years, the American was able to identify one of the opponents who would pose the least threat if they were to face each other in the UFC.
“WWE got him, they took him back. It was my golden moment, we had that moment in the octagon, he pushed me, I pushed him back. WWE got him back, they should have paid him six, seven, maybe ten million (dollars) a year. I would have hit him Brock Lesnar, no matter (his size). It would be one of the safest fights I could have had. I'm telling you, it's just the truth.”
"I like Brock, he's a great guy, but I saw what Cain (Velasquez) did to him, I saw how he reacted to being punched, and I would have punched him. He would have had to take me down to win the fight, and I can wrestle. If he tried to take me down, I would have made it very difficult for him, and by the time he did, he would have been exhausted, and I would have gotten up. He took Cain down, and Cain got up and punched him in the face. Brock still has the scar under his eye from the knee Cain took," DC said in an interview with Club Shay Shay.
