UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is in a little bit of a pickle. He’s apart of American Kickboxing Academy, or AKA for short. That’s his team and those are his training partners.<\/p>\n

He’s also obviously the UFC champ and works as a UFC analyst on FOX Sports. So when his teammates Josh Koscheck and Josh Thomson jump ship and take their talents to Bellator MMA and say some not so flattering things about their former promotion, things could get a little weird for the champ.<\/p>\n

Although, he told MMAJunkie<\/a> that there actually is no tension with the gym and the UFC or Dana White.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at Koscheck\u2019s statements, and he\u2019ll say, \u2018I have no beef with the UFC. So it\u2019s kind of weird. It\u2019s almost like he says things and he almost takes them back. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any issues. I don\u2019t really speak to those guys on their business issues like that.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the majority of it comes down to money and opportunity. But if you think about our gym, a lot of us have a great relationship with the UFC \u2013 Cain Velasquez, Luke Rockhold, Khabib Numagomedov \u2013 and we\u2019re all at different points of our career.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Best Training Room You’ll Probably Ever See — D.C., Rockhold, Khabib, Velasquez All Training For UFC Greatness<\/strong>
