Daniel Cormier appeared on the latest edition of ‘Inside The Octagon’ to give his first reaction to the unexpected news that he’ll be fighting Jon Jones for the light-heavyweight title at UFC 178 in September after Alexander Gustafsson pulled out due to a knee injury.
Cormier says that ideally he’d have liked to have a full three month training camp in preparation for a title fight, but that nine weeks should be sufficient even though he’s a little heavier right now than he would have liked (235lbs).
Watch Cormier’s full interview with Kenny Florian and Michael Bisping below.
