Daniel Cormier’s striking coach, Javier Mendez, joins Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show to talk about preparing Daniel Cormier for UFC 230 against Derrick Lewis, including his back injury spurred by a sneeze. Mendez also provides some insight into Cormier’s potential retirement after taking on Brock Lesnar, without a third bout against Jon Jones. Mendez and Helwani then dive into the news about Floyd Mayweather (12:00) agreeing to a Rizin card in Japan instead of fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov. They also look back on UFC 229, (14:00) witnessing Khabib’s post-fight antics inside the arena and talks about the fine and suspension that he could be facing from the state of Nevada after the dramatics in the arena after his bout with Conor McGregor. Mendez also looks ahead to a potential Khabib-Conor rematch.
