Daniel Cormier is ruling out a return to fighting.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is not heading back to the UFC Octagon. It is a growing trend in MMA that when a fighter retires there is a good chance they will be coming back to competition. Fans have seen this before and will most likely see it again, however they should not be waiting for the return of Daniel Cormier.
Cormier retired from the UFC back in 2020 and has not looked back. Outside of the cage, Cormier is one of the most successful former fighters in the world. He is a commentator for the UFC and has a show on ESPN alongside Ryan Clark called DC and RC.
On a recent episode of the show, Cormier addressed the possibility of returning to face Jon Jones at heavyweight at UFC 282 in December. After a good laugh, Cormier stood his ground on retirement.
“Listen, RC when you realize you can make money without tackling people and getting punched in the face is a whole new world, ain’t it?” he said. “I can actually make this money without actually fighting, I ain’t going back to fighting, get out of here man, finally I gotta get ready to go referee some WWF or whatever. WWE I would rather go referee and do all kinds of stuff, man. Let’s go.”
