Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier has been receiving a lot of pushback for his commentary of late. Bo Nickal is the latest, but DC clears the air.
EDMONTON, ALBERTA - NOVEMBER 01: Daniel Cormier is seen on stage during a Q&A session prior to the UFC Fight Night ceremonial weigh-in at Rogers Place on November 01, 2024 in Edmonton, Alberta. Former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has been receiving a lot of pushback for his commentary of late. Cormier works most of the big events for the UFC as an analyst, and his job is to call it as he sees it.
During the fight, Cormier shot down the idea of Nickal being ready to face No. 3-ranked middleweight Khamzat Chimaev. Cormier said, “He’s not ready for Khamzat.” “This one kind of took me a little by surprise,” Cormier said. “I do like Bo. I do believe that at some point he’s going to be a champion. I think that he’s respectful so he’s trying to say things the nicest way he possibly can. I think he may have misunderstood what I’m trying to say. What I was more trying to say in this fight is let’s not rush him into fights with people who have so much more experience.
I could easily see Nickal matched up against No. 12 Jack Hermansson or even No. 15 Michel Pereira in his next fight. There is also the possibility Nickal could get one more fight against an opponent who sits just outside of the Top 15.
