UFC Light Heavyweight, Daniel Cormier, is looking for a title fight with UFC Champion Jon Jones who he dropped to 205 lbs to face. He feels that he can take on Jones and beat him, but Jon Jones feels that Cormier hasn't earned that shot qith his defeat over Cummins. Jones feels that hia recent opponents are earning title shots qithout facing other top contenders. He feels that they are facing lower talent inatead of each other to earn a shot at the title.
Despite Daniel Cormier only having one fight 205 lbs, Daniel Cormier has already faced top-level competition in his few years in MMA. He has faced the likes of Antonio 'Big Foot' Silva, Josh Barnett, Frank Mir and Roy Nelson all in the heavyweight division. I think that Cormier still needs a top guy like Alexander Gustaffson or Phil Davis before he gets a shot, but outside of Davis and Alexander Gustaffson, there are no true contenders who have earned a shot. Anthony Johnson did huge things outside of the UFC and could potentially be thrown in the mix if he beats Davis. I really want to see Cormier face the winner of the Davis-Johnson fight or Alexander Gustaffson if he defeats Manuwa.
