The more you wait Jon Jones, the worse it\u2019s going to get because I am going to continue to get better. You should have got me a year ago because now, I\u2019m not sure you have any chance at all actually.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During a recent stint on Fox Sports 1, UFC 173 winner, Daniel Cormier called out the champ, Jon Jones, and discussed why he believes he deserves a shot at the belt.<\/p>\n<p>He also said,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daniel Cormier on the fans booing his strategy and whether he considered standing up with Dan Henderson<\/strong>: \u201cIt won\u2019t happen; I\u2019ve got to fight my strategy and I\u2019ve got to fight the way I\u2019ve trained to fight. If I go out and fight and give Dan Henderson a chance, it could ruin what I\u2019m trying to work towards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cormier on being one of the most improved fighters in the UFC and what he is the most proud of in his development:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m very proud of my wrestling, but I\u2019ve spent a lifetime trying to develop that. The one thing that I\u2019ve improved the most is the jiu-jitsu. I\u2019ve got a great coach in Leandro Vieira. He works with me all the time individually, I\u2019ve got great training partners and that\u2019s why I am improving. I heard people booing because I was controlling him from the top, but I knew eventually a submission or something would present itself and I just waited for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cormier on his pace being a challenge for his opponents<\/strong>: \u201cI try to go hard and I try to push the guys. When you see a guy put his hands on his knees before the third round, you actually know you\u2019ve got him. I scream at my coaches every day because they try to switch partners. I\u2019m like, \u2018Guys, this is what I work for: I work for the third round when the guy is so exhausted I can just beat him up.\u2019 There\u2019s nobody to switch out with a guy in the octagon, so I try to just go as hard as I can to make guys work and make them uncomfortable and it happened tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On why he deserves to fight UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cListen, I have not lost a fight, I have not lost a round. I am 15-0, Jon Jones is undefeated, why not put two undefeated guys in the cage and see who the best is? Don\u2019t run from me little guy, I\u2019m ready.
