Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net commented on his statement that the current UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira could become an Olympic wrestling champion within two years.
If I said that, then it must be true! Come on, guys, it was just a joke, I just like messing around with Islam. Of course, it's impossible. You can fight your whole life and still not become an Olympic champion. Only a few manage to achieve this. Of course, Pereira wouldn't have become an Olympic champion, I was just joking.
