Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman disagrees with Daniel Cormier's prediction for his potential wrestling match with Jon Jones.

“This guy is just an athletic phenomenon, and his whole family is like that. Jon and his brother Arthur—they’re both New York State champions. I know it doesn't mean that much because it's a school level, and DC obviously has international achievements, but when it came down to wrestling, Jon was always far from the easiest opponent. So it definitely won’t be as easy as Cormier says,” said Usman on the Pound 4 Pound podcast with Henry Cejudo.
