Current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has been very open about putting a time limit on his fighting career. And that time is about to run out.
According to “DC,” 2018 could very well be the last year we see competing inside the Octagon.
"I've been pretty vocal about it, that you'll never see me at 40," Cormier told ESPN.com. (via Bloody Elbow). "We may be going into my last year in 2018. And I'm completely at peace with that.”
To hear Cormier explain it, he wants to put more focus on his family and his son’s future sporting endeavors after competing himself for so long.
"It's time for this dude [nods at his son, Daniel Jr.] to take precedent in terms of sports. I've been doing high-level sports since I was 15. I can't do it forever. I'm ready to give the commitment and focus to my boy, after a few fights. I've got a couple [fights] left in me."
