Daniel Cormier , one fight into his light heavyweight tenure, wants a No. 1 contender’s match for his next fight. If that’s not available, fine, he’ll take a title shot. After having defeated Patrick Cummins, who subbed in for an injured Rashad Evans at UFC 170 last weekend, Cormier believes that his undefeated run at heavyweight coupled with his success in his 205-pound debut puts him near the top of the heap of the light heavyweight division. Cormier told UFC Tonight that he realizes that if Alexander Gustafsson defeats Jimi Manuwa in a couple weeks in London that the UFC wants him to step into the next shot for the UFC light heavyweight championship, especially if Jon Jones is successful in defending the belt against Glover Teixeira in April
