Daniel Cormier questions Francis Ngannou’s hype: ‘Nothing’s changed’

According to reigning heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier, who trains at San Jose’s American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), Ngannou hasn’t changed in the year and a half since his loss to Miocic and blames fans for getting over excited about ‘The Predator’s’ recently slew of knockout victories over Curtis Blaydes, Junior dos Santos and AKA teammate Cain Velasquez.
