Daniel Cormier not waiting for UFC title shot, doesn?t think champ Jones is scared | MMAjunkie
Daniel Cormier is choosing to stay busy rather than wait for shot at the UFC light-heavyweight title.
Although UFC President Dana White offered Cormier a chance to take the spot of the division’s No. 2 contender, meeting the winner of champ Jon Jones (19-1 MMA, 13-1 UFC) or Glover Teixeira (22-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and Alexander Gustafsson (16-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC), the recently minted 205-pound fighter said he’ll make himself available for another opponent.
“I want to fight,” Cormier (14-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) today told MMAjunkie. “Listen, I’m 35 (years old) this month. I’m not going to sit on the shelf at this point. I feel great at this weight. I need a fight.”
Only very recently did Cormier step out of the octagon. In his first bout at light heavyweight, he quickly dispatched Patrick Cummins at this past month’s UFC 170 event. But the Olympic wrestler and former heavyweight is anxious to keep his momentum.
“I don’t see the point in sitting out for, I mean, this is going to be a long time,” Cormier said. “If I was going to sit there and wait, I could potentially be 36 years old by the time I fight. Why would I waste a whole year of my career? I don’t have that luxury.”
