Current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier has been a fan of pro wrestling for his entire life, so he understands the business, and what needs to be done to be an effective WWE superstar.

Right now, Cormier is one of the UFC's biggest stars, and on July 7, he'll have the opportunity to become a double champion, as he's set to challenge Stipe Miocic for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. If he wins, he might end up being the biggest star the company has.

Unfortunately for the UFC, Cormier has more fights behind him than in front of him, as he's set to retire early next year, no matter what. So, what'll he do once he retires? The obvious answer is commentary, because he's already doing it, and he's great at it. But, there's a chance that he could get bored of sitting at the announcer's desk, which could lead him to WWE.

Cormier is set to turn 40 next spring, so if he goes to WWE, he'll probably only have a few matches, and two of those matches will probably be against Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley. Aside from that, there aren't any obvious opponents for DC, unless WWE is able to sign Jon Jones as well, which would undoubtedly lead to a match between the two at a big event like WrestleMania or SummerSlam.
