    Is the hype real deal? Or will he fade out when or if he loses?

    If he was 25 with the skillset he has now; he'd be on his way to being the greatest MMA fighter of all time.

    He the new Fedor.

    And better than Cain Velasquez.

    No doubt in my mind. He's the real deal.

    The next fedor he isn't but he's good. His submission game and GNP needs work for a wrestler. Bigfoot underestimated him IMO and barnetts gettin old and not a good style to beat Cormier.

    Yes, I believe he will eventually weigh as much as Carwin despite being half a foot shorter. Probably more.

    I think cormiers biggest asset is how calm he is when fighting. Very composed. Has great scalps on his resume. I see him going far so long as one aspect of his game isnt exposed.

    I've said it before, but there isn't a single guy at HW that I would favour h2h against Cormier.

    Why is that ? He has 3 decent wins and 2 are by decision. He looks legit but unfortunately just of late a few hyped prospects have wilted.
