Daniel Cormier has agreed with a fan on social media who argued he would "destroy" boxing legend Mike Tyson in a street fight.
The former two-weight UFC world champion was known during his career for having a flabby physique, and being much smaller than most heavyweights at just 5'11". But he was one of the greatest fighters on the planet at one point, and in most street fight situations would have an advantage on a boxer due to his wrestling prowess.
Cormier had been an Olympic-level wrestler, travelling to the 2008 Beijing games to captain the American team, prior to moving into MMA and becoming first StrikeForce and then UFC champion. He made the brutal cut to 205lb so his pal Cain Velasquez could pursue heavyweight gold, but moved back up towards the end of his career.
