MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cThat was my private little thing. But because of the fight, I had to push it back. So there might be some DC in WWE shit coming.\u201d<\/p>\nFor Daniel Cormier, a long-time pro wrestling fan, the opportunity to work with WWE boss Vince MacMahon is an exciting prospect.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like it,\u201d Cormier said of a potential WWE gig. \u201cI want to freak out. I want to freak out next to the thing with Vince in my ear saying, \u2018Say this, you asshole!\u2019 Because I heard Vince tells you what to say. I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, Vince.\u2019 Don\u2019t be surprised if I\u2019m on TV and a couple times I go, \u2018OK, OK, OK, OK.\u2019 And just say it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whatever happens with WWE, Daniel Cormier assures the UFC will always be his home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never want to not be in the UFC,\u201d the heavyweight champ explained. \u201cI love calling fights. I just love being part of the UFC, man. It\u2019s everything I\u2019ve ever dreamed of.<\/p>\n
\u201c[WWE is] new. It\u2019s something new, right? This is home. Over there is new. And most times, new is fun and exciting. But I love being home. This is my place. I love the UFC.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do you think we’ll hear UFC heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier on WWE broadcasts in the future?<\/p>\n
