UFC light heavyweight #1 contender Daniel Cormier has officially been named the permanent co-host of UFC Tonight on Fox Sports 1.

Cormier has been a co-host on the show already for some time now, and has been a staple alongside UFC legend Kenny Florian on the program.

Cormier said in a statement released by the UFC, and obtained by MMAJunkie:

“I love being a part of UFC on FOX family and extending my mixed martial arts career. The TV analyst role is exciting, fun and actually improves my fighting skills, because I see the action so differently now. I look forward to working with the team each week on ‘UFC Tonight’ and vow to bring the light heavyweight title belt with me to the desk in January.”
