Daniel Cormier would be an ideal candidate to lead the UFC as president in the future after Dana White departs, says lightweight fighter Dustin Poirier.
Cormier hung up his gloves last year after losing his trilogy fight against Stipe Miocic, and has since been a vocal presence on the biggest bouts in the sport, working as both a pundit and a commentator since retiring.
And Poirier - who stunned Conor McGregor for a second time in July and now faces Charles Oliveira for the UFC Lightweight title in December - named Cormier as his pick to head up the organisation as someone who knows the sport inside out.
