Current UFC light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier has revealed that he’s signed a new eight-fight contract with the UFC.
“The appreciation for what I’ve done so far in my career in the UFC, it showed,” he today told MMAjunkie Radio.
“I was like, ‘This is what I feel like we deserve as a guy that’s done everything he’s supposed to and carried himself like a professional athlete should carry himself,’ and they said, ‘You know what, you’re right,’ and they pretty much just gave it to me, which is awesome.”
“I’m 36 years old,” he said. “I don’t even know if I can get through eight fights, but it’s a new eight-fight contract.”
Daniel Cormier (17-1) is on a two-fight winning streak, and says he’s currently taking a break from the octagon until sometime next year.
