Daniel Cormier Says Khabib Was the Only Lightweight Who Could Compete at Middleweight

Cormier claimed Khabib’s dominance at lightweight (155-lbs) could've extended two divisions up. Praising his strength and control, he said, “That’s the only guy I think could do it. Khabib could have competed at 185 pounds.” The (29-0) champion defended his belt three times. Khabib chose to retire at the peak of his UFC career in 2021 after the Gaethje fight.
