UFC: 5 Reasons Daniel Cormier Is A Threat To Jon Jones

By Jay Anderson /

5. At This Point, He's Used To The Spotlight

Cormier looked nervous in his first UFC fight against Frank Mir, and perhaps didn't perform up to expectations, despite having headlined a Strikeforce card in the past. Since the Mir fight, however, he has had prominent spots on three UFC cards, and has won every single time. The octagon jitters are gone. The worry is gone. Cormier wants this, and he is ready. Does that mean he will win? No, it does not. It does, however, mean you can eliminate it as a reason he might lose. Glover didn't fully seem himself in the Jones fight; he was rushed into the spotlight. No worries here though. This should also Cormier him to stay focused, which makes him a threat.
