People frequently inquire about the favorite WWE stars of UFC fighters and vice versa. This is particularly true now that the UFC and WWE have combined to form TKO Holdings. When UFC legend Daniel Cormier was recently asked this question, WWE fans were taken aback by his response. Though the UFC legend had champions like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, he chose Gunther, whom nobody could have imagined.
The WWE Hall of Famer Randy Savage and other WWE greats were ranked lower by the UFC star than this wrestler.
Daniel Cormier Says That His Favourite Fighter Can Surpass Brock Lesnar
In the UFC, Cormier is a legend. In addition, he was a member of the US Olympic or World Teams six times. In addition, he won a gold medal in the Pan American Games, a silver medal at the World Cup, and a bronze medal worldwide. In the combat sports community, he is well-respected despite all of these honors.
Former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, a UFC legend, discussed the WWE on the MMA Hour. When asked which WWE star was his favorite during the performance, he gave a response that was anything but typical. When this wrestler rejoins the WWE, he might square off against Brock Lesnar.
Cormier said, “He’s my favorite wrestler of all time…he has surpassed the Macho Man. I love Seth, but Gunther does it all.” He continued by outlining the reasons behind this. He made a comparison between Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks and Gunther’s in-ring technique.
Cormier declared that he cherished Gunther’s sleeper grips and body slams. He has previously said that he preferred larger wrestlers to smaller, leaner ones.
Gunther won the Intercontinental Championship on June 10, 2022, after defeating Ricochet on SmackDown. He went on to rule as a champion for more than 537 days after that. This is the longest the title has ever been in WWE history.
