UFC and WWE are different worlds, and Daniel Cormier is the uncontested favorite personality across both promotions. That is not just our opinion; it’s one shared by WWE’s President Nick Khan . In fact, when the MMA and wrestling promotions announced their merger through TKO in 2023, Cormier’s name echoed across the board as one of the first crossovers.
Daniel Cormier, first pushed into fame by his incredible wrestling spell, representing the US in the 2004 Olympics in freestyle wrestling, is one of the few fighters to hold two UFC belts, LHW and HW. Even after he hung up his boots, he refused to dim his enthusiasm for MMA, becoming an illustrious broadcaster and UFC commentator, as well as a person to look up to inside the promotions.
