November 28, 2016 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Daniel Cormier appeared on the MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting) to discuss the injury that knkocked him out of his fight with Anthony Johnson at UFC 206. Cormier said that he hoped to be back by February or March depending on his course of treatment. Some highlights are below:

On considering surgery for a quicker return: “I don’t know, man. It’s a weird deal, because I always try not to have surgery. That’s kind of my thing. I do whatever I can to not go under the knife. I’ve got some decisions to make.”

On whether Dana White gave him problems over having to pull out: “I got no backlash. I got nothing.”

On his previous cancelled fights due to injury: “I feel if I don’t prepare in the ways I’ve always prepared in, I don’t know if I’ll be able to compete to the best of my ability. It sucks.”
