Cormier: Carlos Prates championship-ready after Perth performance

Daniel Cormier praised Carlos Prates after Prates dominated former welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena with a third‑round stoppage at UFC Perth, saying Prates is championship‑ready and on a short list for a welterweight title shot against Islam Makhachev. Prates has rebounded from an earlier loss to Ian Garry and continued to rack up knockouts and bonuses, but the 170‑pound division remains crowded, with Garry still favored to challenge Makhachev while Prates isn’t ruled out.

Cormier: Netflix Rousey-Carano can’t top UFC’s White House blockbuster

Daniel Cormier says Netflix’s Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano card won’t match the UFC’s White House lineup, which he calls the best card of the year. Netflix will feature Rousey-Carano on May 16 and Ngannou-Lins, while the UFC counterpunches with Topuria-Gaethje and Pereira-Gane; DC notes the Netflix event is a valid outside-the-UFC venture and competition is healthy, but final ratings will decide which platform comes out on top.

Jon Jones says he suffers severe arthritis in his left hip, even qualifying for a hip replacement, and that pain would prevent him from pursuing a wrestling match with Daniel Cormier. He notes his focus on health and family (including his three-year-old son) as he contemplates future fights, with no current UFC schedule announced after his 2024 win over Stipe Miocic.
