UFC is More Fun Than Boxing: Cormier's Opinion

“Shakur Stevenson said that UFC will never become like boxing, but UFC doesn't have to be boxing because the reality is: there are no longer the big fights in boxing that used to be. If I wanted to be like boxing, I would prefer it to be the boxing of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Modern boxing is not quite what I would like it to be and not what it used to be, because there simply aren't enough stars in the sport to stage big fights... But UFC is more fun now — it's more exciting and simply better. I love boxing, I have many friends in boxing. Andre Ward is my close friend, I love watching his fights. But modern boxing is not what it used to be. We are not boxing — UFC is better and that's the plain truth,” said the former two-time UFC champion in the latest episode on his YouTube channel.
