Daniel Cormier doesn't understand the point of having Robert Whittaker and Marvin Vettori fight each other.
Whittaker and Vettori are in a similar spot as they have beaten almost every contender they've faced, but fell short against Israel Adesanya twice. With that in mind, Cormier struggles to comprehend what each man can get out of fighting each other.
During the Tap In or Tap Out segment of ESPN's DC & RC show, wherein the hosts discuss whether or not they're in favor of a certain topic, Cormier said:
"I tap in for anything Robert Whittaker, honestly, because Robert Whittaker is an absolute savage. I tap in for Marvin Vettori because Marvin Vettori is a bit of a different character, but the dude can absolutely fight."
'DC' then pointed out that both men won't get a title shot as long as Adesanya is still the middleweight champion. The former two-division titleholder continued:
"The one issue with the fight is that where does it really lead to as long as Israel is the champion? Robert Whittaker has once again stepped into knock out the guys that are on their way or close to championship contention. So he'll beat so many people just like he did Jared Cannonier, just like he did Kelvin Gastelum to make his way back to a title fight. So it's a great fight, I tap in to watch it. I'm just trying to understand ultimately where it leads to."

Abdelaziz, who also represents the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, told Helen Yee:
