Daniel Cormier ’s fight-week schedule for UFC 230 included a trip to “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” where he laid out his strategy in facing Derrick Lewis. My opponent is a very big guy, so I need to take him down,” Cormier told hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest. At that point, Cormier demonstrated a few techniques for the audience, including how he best sets up his takedowns while managing distance, as well.
