Daniel Cormier reacted well to the news that it will be Alexander Gustafson, and not him, who will next compete for the UFC light heavyweight belt against the current champion, Jon Jones. in your account at Instagram, the American posted a photo of a dessert and stated that, from now on, his focus will be on recovering an injured knee.
Earlier this week, amid the impasse over the next title challenger, Cormier even stated that he might postpone knee surgery if given the chance to face Jones. However, with the confirmation that the Swede will fight the champion in September, Cormier ruled out another fight in 2014 and hopes to be able to fight for the title next year.
“I recently found out that Jones will face Gustafsson again in September. So I'm going to enjoy this brownie, spend time with my family, and get my knee fixed. Everything will work out and we will be the champions. Maybe I'll take my two beautiful babies to Disney or something. Thanks for the support. I love you all”, wrote the undefeated fighter.
Shortly before, in his Twitter, Cormier stated that he will be rooting for Jones to win, since, if he becomes champion over his compatriot, the achievement will be even more valuable.
