UFC Legend Daniel Cormier Gives His Take on Justin Gaethje’s Title Contention

Daniel Cormier is one of the few MMA fighters who has won everything in the UFC world. He is also one of the select few to have won titles at two different divisions in the company. Since retiring from the MMA world, Cormier has taken the mantle of an MMA analyst and a commentator. He knows how the world of UFC rankings works in the company. Daniel Cormier made a shocking Justin Gaethje claim on his show.

Daniel Cormier was one of the commentators and witnessed Justin Gaethje getting put to sleep in the final minute of the final round.

Daniel Cormier on Justin Gaethje’s title hopes

Justin Gaethje is in an interesting place in his MMA career. He has beaten many world-class fighters in the company but last lost to Max Holloway in the main card of the UFC 300. Justin Gaethje previously knocked out Dustin Poirier to win the BMF strap. His former opponent, Dustin, is now fighting for the title after he scored a victory over another opponent. Daniel Cormier on Gaethje’s title hopes said,

Justin Gaethje is one win away from ultimately standing across from the champion because he’s that popular he’s been that important. All of the thing’s he’s accomplished since he got to the UFC.

Cormier made it clear that he thinks Justin Gaethje is one win away from becoming a contender in the lightweight division. Gaethje is still one of the best fighters in the company and one of the biggest superstars in the UFC. Gaethje is also one of the best brawlers in the division and can still shut the lights off anyone. Gaethje is an immense fighter who recently lost to Max Holloway, and according to DC, losing his BMF belt does not do much damage to his stock.
