High praise for the Dubliner…
UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has praised Conor McGregor following his exploits in the Featherweight division this year.
Cormier, who faces the returning Jon Jones in April next year, is wary of the power of The Notorious and gave his two cents on what would happen if he faced the Crumlin native.
The picture below shows Cormier throwing a punch similar to Jose Aldo moments before he was knocked out…
After what I've seen this year I gotta say if I was fighting Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) I'd be asleep lol pic.twitter.com/ylEON82fCS

Obviously there’s a pinch of salt to be taken with Cormier’s post but at the same time it’s impressive that a Light heavyweight is praising the power of someone who fights 60lbs below his weight.
We wonder if McGregor will be showing off that power once again at Featherweight or at Lightweight in his next UFC appearance…
