Prior to Cormier&#8217;s current Light Heavyweight run, he was an undefeated Heavyweight and a Grand Prix champion himself as he won the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix as an alternate in 2012.

On that same night, Bellator hosted an event of their own. In the main event, they kicked off the first fight of their Heavyweight Grand Prix with former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Quinton &#8220;Rampage&#8221; Jackson and fellow former UFC star, Chael Sonnen. DC expressed his happiness for his friend and GP participant when speaking to <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/01\/daniel-cormier-has-love-for-sonnen-plus-king-mo-vs-ryan-bader-in-bellator-tourney\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie<\/a> recently:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s very impressive, I\u2019m excited. I\u2019m happy for Chael\u2026 He texted me telling me congratulations for beating [Volkan] Oezdemir, and I go, \u2018No, bud, after what you did last weekend, this warrants a telephone call.\u00a0<\/em><em>So <\/em>me<em> and Chael talked for thirty minutes because I\u2019m so happy and proud of him for going out there and getting the job done. And Rampage looked big. Rampage, in the pictures, he looked super in-shape, and in the <\/em>fight<em> he just looked massive. I was like, \u2018Wow, this dude\u2019s big.\u2019 Chael went out there and did his thing. I\u2019m so happy for Chael, he deserves to win.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cormier also commented on one of the other fights in the opening round of the tournament that includes one of his teammates and former Strikeforce champions, Muhammad &#8220;King Mo&#8221; Lawal:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI want Mo to go out there and really take it to Ryan Bader,\u201d Cormier said. \u201cI wish they could make that for the title, though. Why can\u2019t they just make that, inside their tournament, for the Light Heavyweight championship?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The UFC champ makes a great point as Bader is the Light Heavyweight champion of Bellator and King Mo primarily fights in the division as well.<\/p>\n<p>For Cormier, it was recently announced that his next fight will be one of the biggest in MMA history. He&#8217;ll be going back up to his old stomping grounds of Heavyweight to take on the record holding champion for title defenses, Stipe Miocic. The super fight will take place this Summer on July 7th at UFC 226 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>on 1\/30\/2018.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier is no stranger to a good ol&#8217; Heavyweight tournament.
