Cormier brought in a Russian wrestler

Wow. I thought there already were threads about this.
 
That's all he did his whole entire training camp. Wrestle with a Russian guy. Nothing else. Nothing else at all.
 
So did JDS.

Got destroyed by the less-credentialed Cain anyway.
 
Cormier didn't bring him in, apparently the dood showed up to help.
 
Here's some cool footage of them training:

 
Yahoo Sports has some video on the fight build-up and part of it shows Cormier wresling at his training camp with this Russian guy that beat him in the 2004 Olympics. The guy may have been even shorter than Cormier. I would have rather seen him boxing one of the Klitchkos or fighing a tall K1 heavyweight in preparation for Jones. But if he is willing to fly a pure wrestler in from Russia and roll on the mat with him, he must be planning to take it to the ground and try and keep it there like he did with Henderson.


Fat good that did him.
