Former UFC champion reacts upon buying California-based wrestling website

Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier is one of the most talented wrestlers to ever grace the promotion and used a grappling-heavy approach to claim titles in two weight divisions.

Cormier's love for wrestling is evident as he continues to give back to the sport by coaching at a high school in California. More recently, 'DC' purchased a wrestling-oriented website called TheCaliforniaWrestler and aims to improve the state of wrestling in The Golden State with the help of the website.

'DC' expressed his excitement about his new acquisition on Twitter following @MatScouts1's tweet reporting the news:

"Im very excited to be working with theCaliforniawrestler, I knew immediately where to go when I started coaching n California and I wanna help to ensure that this never changes.We will have rankings,podcasts,recaps,live events we’re gonna make it your go to for Cali wrestling LFG."

Daniel Cormier breaks down Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane at UFC 285

Daniel Cormier recently shared his thoughts on the newly announced heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane, set to take place at UFC 285.

The bout will see Jones return after a long hiatus preparing for his move to the heavier weight class, and he will take on an expert striker in Gane. Cormier believes that for fans, the matchup between Jones and Gane is more enjoyable than Jones vs. Ngannou.

For years, a fight between Jones and Ngannou was hypothesized and was the matchup that many fans wanted to see the most. However, Cormier feels that the level of skill between Jones and Gane will make it a better fight for fans to watch.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Daniel Cormier stated:

"Ciryl Gane is as good as they come. I honestly believe that this matchup is a much better matchup as fans because technically you have two guys who are gonna be as skilled as we have ever seen in the heavyweight division. This is coming from a guy who fought in the heavyweight division, who held the [UFC] championship."
