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.
Earlier, in a conversation with UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, Cormier stated that Alex Pereira could become an Olympic wrestling champion within two years.
