Daniel Cormier, former UFC champion in two weight categories, shared what allowed him to become a double champion.

“I was aged. When I became a double champion, I was 39 years old. Therefore, I worked a lot on mobility, agility, and speed because I needed to somehow keep up with these young guys. But ultimately, I had a 'golden ticket' — wrestling. If you have wrestling, you can compete with anyone,” said Cormier in a video shared on social media by the Alien Films account.
