”There are reasons to be confident against Alexander and there are reasons to be worried about Alexander,” Cormier said. He presents a lot of problems for any fighter, but in this match-up, I see a lot of paths to victory?I believe that I have more opportunities and more chances to win this fight than he does. It’s not as simple as I just have to wrestle and take him down to win. I can win the standup fight. I could grind him up against the cage and beat him. I can take him down and beat him. There are a lot of ways for me to beat him, and for Alex, I think his ways are pretty limited.”
Efter att ha analyserat sin match mot Jon Jones (21-1), tror Cormier att han kan stänga distansen mellan honom och Gustafsson.
”You know what, man? I’ve seen the fight and I’ve seen the range and Jones does a good job of fighting long, just like Gustafsson does, and I closed the distance pretty good in that fight. I felt it. So it gives me a little bit of confidence.”
