Cormier never thought Du Plessis would become champion

Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion, did not believe that Dricus Du Plessis will be able to become the organization's middleweight champion.

“I never would have thought that Dricus du Plessis would become champion. Despite the fact that I have been in this game for a long time, I realized that all mixed martial arts are an unpredictable thing. Drikus doesn't look like the other fighters. But now that I understand his style, he looks like a champion, because that’s what Drikus is.”
