“Shavkat Rakhmonov is the guy I think about and say: 'This is the craziest fight you can imagine.' Islam versus Rakhmonov. Rakhmonov's size, his wrestling skills, his striking - it's a really cool fight. I thought Islam would have the toughest fight of his career last weekend, but he clearly showed that this is not the case. However, if he were to fight Shavkat, I think that would definitely be the toughest fight of his career,” Cormier said in the latest episode of the analytical show 'Good Guy/Bad Guy' on ESPN.
