Daniel Cormier will take the fight to the ground against Miocic

“ I love fighting in the small cage at the APEX. That old leg is gonna be right in front of me to grab. I’ll be like Curtis Blaydes.

If you want to see a 25-minute stand-up fight, that’s not what you’re getting.

I hope Stipe has his wrestling shoes, because with the small cage, single-leg, single-leg, single-leg, single-leg, wrestling. It is what it is. Sorry”. Said Cormier on his show with Ariel Helwani.

Blaydes had revealed a very similar tactic before his fight against Alexander. Blaydes faced a lot of criticism as his fight was considered extremely boring.

UFC president Dana White also called out Blaydes for using this technique, however, it proved extremely successful for him.
