Andy Ruiz Jr. shocked the world when he defeated Anthony Joshua to become the new unified boxing heavyweight champion earlier this month. Many had counted him out purely due to his physique leading up to the fight. However, one person in combat sports who knows that physique doesn’t matter is UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.
Cormier has always been one of the more chubby fighters in the UFC, but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming light heavyweight as well as heavyweight champion. His setbacks against Jon Jones aside, “DC” has beaten every other competitor he has faced, who were usually always bigger and in better shape than him.
And given his as well as Ruiz’s recent success, Cormier believes more people should open their eyes and realize there’s more to a fight than how a fighter looks:
“Man, all that physical sh*t don’t mean nothing,” Cormier told TMZ. “Like everybody talks about, ‘go be a bodybuilder’ if you think that your physique is what’s going to determine a fight. Every time I go out there, I go out there with these guys that look like they’re freaking musclemen but then I just kick their a**es. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t mean they work harder. It doesn’t mean they do things better. People are genetically the way that they are.“
“Andy Ruiz may look like a guy who isn’t in the best visual shape but that dude’s an athlete. Look at his Instagram, look at his work ethic, his feet are very quick, his hands are very quick and he’s got a killer’s mentality. It’s all you need, it’s a fight. If you look at two guys on a scale, and visually go, ‘that guy is going to win,’ you’re an idiot. You got to know that there’s much more to fighting than how a guy looks. If you want to look at physiques all the time, then go get some damn modeling magazines or something. That’s where you belong.“
It’s certainly hard to disagree with Cormier is saying, and he could prove it further when he defends his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 241 which takes place August 17. It could also be the 40-year-old’s last fight before he calls it a day in his career.

Fury is now making a name for himself in the United States, after downing Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas this past weekend (Sat. June 15, 2019). Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Arum discussed the expected rematch between Fury and WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder next year.
Arum went as far as predicting the matchup can do equal to or more pay-per-view (PPV) buys than the famed Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight, which did over four million buys:
“Well, if – and I expect both guys get through their next fights, the fight will be first quarter of next year, Arum said. “And, I really believe – now, I’m not blowing smoke, it will be on pay-per-view, and I can’t see why that fight won’t equal or surpass the numbers that were done on the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.
“Two little guys, great fighters, Mayweather and Pacquiao, was built up for a lot of years, but still they’re not heavyweights. They’re not heavyweights of this kind of category, and now, this notoriety. The reason the Fury-Wilder fight, first one, didn’t do real numbers, is because, let’s be honest, other than some hardcore boxing fans, the public in America didn’t know this guy [Tyson Fury].
“They really didn’t know him. Now, they know him, and after the fight in October, they will know him even more. Wilder will hopefully have a great fight with Ortiz and beat Ortiz, and the rematch, I think, is capable of doing over four million pay-per-view orders.”
When pressed on his prediction that Wilder vs. Fury II can do bigger numbers than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, Arum doubled down:
“Why wouldn’t it be?,” Arum asked. “People always, when I was in the business for many years, always look for the big big heavyweight fight. That was Ali-Frazier one, did more business than any other fight had ever done up to that point. I can’t see why this wouldn’t happen.
“And particularly when it matches somebody from the U.K., who is not coming over as an opponent, but as a co-equal at least, in stature, with an American. It’s got to, reasonably speaking, do tremendous business on PPV.”

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has offered his reaction to Tyson Fury’s big knockout win in Las Vegas Saturday night (June 15, 2019).
Fury knocked out Tom Schwarz in the main event of their heavyweight collision on ESPN+ from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Englishman is holding up his end of the bargain, as he and Wilder are expected to rematch early next year. Speaking to The Athletic recently, Wilder offered his reaction to Fury’s big knockout win:
“It was a cool performance. It wasn’t much of an opponent. I think (Schwarz) only threw four punches. He was a punching bag.” Wilder said. “Fury did what he was supposed to do.
“They’re trying to promote him up, saying things, selling this story about him over and over again, talking about him as the lineal champion… It’s building him up. But the performance (on Saturday against Tom Schwarz) was just OK.”
Wilder has some work of his own to tend to next. He’ll be facing off against Luis Ortiz to defend his WBC heavyweight title. This should be a very interesting matchup for the American knockout artist, as Ortiz came closer than anyone to handing Wilder the first loss of his career last year.
However, Wilder was able to rally and finish the Cuban slugger in the 10th round. If he can produce the same result, things are looking good for a rematch against “The Gypsy King” next year.

There has been absolutely no respect between Paulie Malignaggi and Artem Lobov leading up to their Bare-Knuckle FC 6 bout later this month.
However, Malignaggi claims there’s one way the former UFC featherweight can earn his respect. Speaking to MMA Fighting recently, Malignaggi promised a very bloody affair, and vowed to beat “The Russian Hammer” to a pulp inside the ring:
“It’s going to be very bloody,” he said. “I’m going to beat him to a pulp.”
In regards to the respect factor, Malignaggi wants Lobov to apologize to him and admit to all the lies the former WBA welterweight champion believes Lobov has been speaking in the lead-up to their clash. Then, and only then, does Malignaggi claim he can respect the mixed martial artist:
“I expect an apology and an admittance of the lies,” Malignaggi said. “If I get that, there can be respect, no problem. We’re both men, and we should be up front as men. I’ve been nothing but up front. I think if there was mutual respect, he would admit all they did was lie and were hyping things. Then we could have respect and be cool about it. But if he keeps lying about it, I might beat his ass again after I’m done.”
Malignaggi and Lobov will headline BKFC 6 from the Florida State Fairgrounds arena in Tampa, Florida on June 22. It will be Malignaggi’s debut in bare-knuckle competition, and only Lobov’s second fight under the promotion’s banner.
