Daniel Cormier could feel the tension between UFC champs Jamahal Hill and Alex Pereira in the aftermath of UFC 283.
Cormier, who was the commentator and in-cage interviewer at this past weekend’s event in Rio de Janeiro, got an up-close look at the dominant performance Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) turned in over Glover Teixeira to win the vacant light heavyweight title in the main event.
Hill smashed Teixeira over five rounds to claim a unanimous decision, all while UFC middleweight champ Pereira (7-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was in the corner with his mentor. It only took a few days after the fight for Pereira to call for a showdown with Hill, and there appears to be mutual interest.
