Daniel Cormier Wants To Coach TUF Opposite Jon Jones

By Chris Howie
MMANEWS.COM Staff Writer

Daniel Cormier spoke to Steph Daniels over at Bloodyelbow.com this week and threw his name out there as a possible coach for the next season of The Ultimate Fighter:

“I know a situation that helps out everyone. Give Jon a challenge that he doesn't get from most guys, and that's something that I present. Hopefully, him and I get through our next fight. At the beginning of the year, let us coach the next season of The Ultimate Fighter. That gives me time to actually get my weight down, and in the summer time, we fight. How does that sound? I'm throwing it out there right now. Let's do it. He hasn't coached the show before, and neither have I. Let the fans get to know me better by putting me on TV for two and a half months, and then put me and Jon in a fight.

Cormier talked about much more in the interview including the possibility of him fighting in both the heavyweight and light heavyweight division.
