Daniel Cormier says he would be “insane” not to consider an offer to become UFC President when Dana White’s tenure comes to an end.<\/p>\n

The former two-division UFC champion, Cormier, is hoping to participate in one last contest<\/a>, a trilogy bout with reigning heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, before hanging up his gloves for good.<\/p>\n

While ‘DC’ already has secured jobs working as a ESPN analyst and as a UFC commentator, he says eventually becoming promotional president would be a dream come true.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think anybody in the world in their right might would [take the job],\u201d Cormier told MMA Fighting<\/a> when asked about becoming UFC president. \u201cTo be at the head of an organization that does so many great things in terms of entertainment, and not only that, but community help. I think what people don\u2019t see is the type of influence that the UFC has in the community. The work that they do with youth programs and programs around the world.”<\/p>\n

Daniel Cormier continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if you ever have an opportunity or anyone has an opportunity to do a job like that, they would be insane not to hope to have that opportunity. But Dana\u2019s going to be here for a long time. Dana\u2019s the man.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Dana White does stick around for a “long time” as Cormier suggests, the former UFC champion would have no issue taking a different position in the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely, I would love any job with the UFC,\u201d Cormier said. \u201cI love this organization. I think since I came over from Strikeforce, I\u2019ve made some good relationships with the people in the company. I\u2019ve started to learn. I\u2019ve just really learned about this company and the one thing that really stands out the most for me is how much time, energy and effort the UFC puts into helping the youths.”<\/p>\n

Daniel Cormier continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat stands out to me because that\u2019s something I do. I know how important it is for Dana and the UFC to support local programs and support athletic clubs, support academic clubs. There\u2019s just so many things that they do to try and help people around the world, it really makes me appreciate who I work for.\u201d<\/p>\n
