UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier jokes about being knocked out by Conor McGregor

Paying compliments

Daniel Cormier has taken the hardest shots from the hardest hitters in the UFC and has yet to be knocked out.

The UFC light heavyweight champion has eaten punches from the likes of Anthony Johnson, Roy Nelson and Dan Henderson but thinks he’d struggle to remain conscious if he was caught by one of Conor McGregor’s famous left hands.

Cormier posted a photo to Twitter of him overextending on a combination, just like Jose Aldo did at UFC 194, and joked that he’d be taken out by the UFC featherweight champion if he tried something like that against ‘The Notorious.’

We know McGregor has claimed he wants to be a three-weight world champion but we think 205 lbs might just be a bridge too far.
