Jason Floyd gives his take on who he would like to see Cormier defend the title against next and his response should not surprise you.
After giving his take on the UFC light heavyweight title picture, Jason talks about some of the latest news in MMA including Cris Cyborg’s contract situation with the UFC and some of the latest fight bookings announced by the UFC. On the interview portion of this week’s podcast, Jason is joined by six fighters that will be fighting on Friday night at Bellator 178 and Battleground MMA.
