Daniel Cormier believes Buvaisar Saitiev revolutionized wrestling.
Cormier was a part of the U.S. Olympic wrestling team for the 2004 Olympics, where Saitiev won his second Olympic gold. “DC” had the fortune of watching Saitiev compete live. Cormier recalls being awed by how effortless Saitiev made it look while beating world champions. The UFC Hall of Famer notes that it is an incredible feat to be a world champion in a sport like wrestling for so long. Cormier praised wrestling legends Jordan Burroughs and Abdulrashid Sadullaev, also considered to be among the best wrestlers of all time.
