Daniel Cormier Jokes Jailton Almeida Would Be His ‘Safest’ UFC Matchup

Cormier named Almeida as the one active UFC fighter he’d face. “Jailton… It’s safe, I can fight him and then go call the next fight,” he said. Almeida, a heavyweight BJJ black belt, is coming off a loss to Alexander Volkov in October. Ben Askren agreed, saying Jailton wouldn’t throw a punch and exhaust himself trying to take DC down.
