Kesällä p4p#1 Conor McGregor!!!:D
Although Cormier shares a bitter history with “Bones,” he said he didn’t receive any pleasure out of his misfortunes.
“You don’t kick a guy when he’s down, and it was obviously disappointing,” Cormier said. “I think I’ve stated that time and time again. This whole situation, more than anything, the stuff Jon gets into is disappointing. He has the world at his fingertips and he can’t seem to get out of his own way. Very unfortunate was my initial reaction.”
When asked if he could provide any advice to his former competitor, Cormier said he hopes Jones can “get it together” and come back to the UFC for a rematch after he defeats Johnson for the vacant belt.
“Just get it together – get it together, man,” Cormier said. “There are a lot of people that look up to you and a lot of people that actually want to see him succeed. There’s a lot of people that want to see him succeed. I’ll be waiting for him on the other side with my championship and he can actually challenge me for it.”
Cormier said he holds Johnson in high regard, but he also sees flaws in his game. Johnson has suffered four career losses and Cormier plans hand him his fifth in UFC 187’s main event, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass from Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
“‘Rumble’ Johnson’s a fantastic fighter; he has tremendous power and he’s got a confidence about himself right now,” Cormier said. “But I want to tell you guys right now, at the end of the day, Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson is who he is. And at the core of Anthony Johnson, Anthony’s the guy who got submitted by Josh Koscheck. Anthony’s the guy that tapped out before Vitor Belfort had a choke in. At the core of him, he is who he is, and I just have to go out and find that.”
