Sherdog is finishing up their end of the year awards and I was assigned two pieces. The "Comeback of the year" and "Breakthrough fighter of the year", the second one was published over the weekend and it is pretty hard to argue against it. The guy only fought three fights in the UFC and at UFC 220, the next pay-per-view event in the new year he will be facing Daniel Cormier for the title.
Cormier suffered a pretty bad KO when he fought Jon Jones at UFC 214 and it is a legit concern if he is truly ready to face a heavy-handed guy like Oezdemir. What do you guys think? Too soon, or can DC take him?
