Cormier stood up for Strickland: “Why is everyone underestimating him?”

Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion, spoke in defense of the organization's current middleweight champion Sean Strickland.

“For some reason, many people think that Sean Strickland is not that scary as a champion. I talked to the guys from Du Plessis' team - they believe that Drikus will easily beat Strickland and take the belt. They believe that Du Plessis is many times stronger than Sean. They believe that there will be no intrigue at all in this fight and that Sean is not that dangerous. It’s strange for me to hear something like this after Strickland’s win over Adesanya. Why is everyone underestimating Strickland?,” DC said.
