Cormier, when on, was fucking awesome! I really didnt like him at the time he was competing but now i see the vids and I'm like, "Damn!" If I had to take one pro's frame and genetics, I would be hard pressed not to take Cormier's. He looked like he could have added another 20-25lbs and still maintain that sick waist. Perfect ab structure, insertions to have a crazy "cobra-hood" for a back, and legs dry as fuck and cut. They say he partied like an animal so who knows how much better he could have been?
ive said it before, Cormier looked like he could compete at 275, and still have his lines.
And in that regard, he was better than Flex. Flex maybe if he did it incrementally could compete at 240, maybe. But he did it in a big jump. He looked his best at 216-224. Which is light. But he looked good. Cormier looked good at 250...and I think if he went into a serious direction, he would have pushed Ronnie, and maybe even beat him.
