Daniel Cormier watched the low-key Noche UFC event before turning his attention to Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford, and he knows which he preferred. <\/p>\n
A boxing<\/a> super fight took place on September 13, as Crawford moved up two weight classes to challenge the legendary Alvarez in a Netflix main event at Allegiant Stadium.<\/p>\n Their clash for the undisputed super middleweight title was the most highly anticipated in recent memory, and Crawford emerged victorious over Alvarez<\/a> to cement his status as an all-time great in the sport.<\/p>\n From the production itself to the high stakes and big stars, the event was widely considered to be boxing at its very best. But if that is the case, one UFC<\/a> legend continues to see MMA as the more entertaining spectacle.<\/p>\n Daniel Cormier says MMA is more \u2018fun\u2019 than boxing after Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford<\/p>\n Before Crawford and Alvarez shared the ring in Las Vegas, Diego Lopes beat Jean Silva at Noche UFC<\/a> in Texas, as San Antonio\u2019s Frost Bank Center staged the MMA promotion\u2019s third annual celebration of Mexican Independence Day.<\/p>\n While plenty of combat sports attention was on the boxing that night, there was a decent amount of action to keep MMA-only enthusiasts entertained in \u2018The Lone Star State\u2019.<\/p>\n And in fact, commentator Cormier<\/a> believes the more \u201cfun\u201d moments of September 13 came inside the cage.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter watching \u2018Bud\u2019 fight Canelo, which was a good fight, I realize more and more that MMA is just a much funner sport,\u201d Cormier said on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n \u201cI know we didn\u2019t have the name recognition on Noche UFC, but I just had a much better time watching the MMA fights (as) opposed to the boxing fights. And that was one of the best fights we could have had in terms of two stars in their primes, relatively, and in the biggest moment.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a boring fight, but MMA was just much more fun. At times, boxing gets ridiculous \u2014 Gervonta Davis is fighting Jake Paul,\u201d Cormier added.<\/p>\n Daniel Cormier doubts one part of Dana White\u2019s boxing plan<\/p>\n Alvarez vs Crawford marked Dana White\u2019s return to boxing promotion for the first time since Conor McGregor\u2019s \u2018Money Fight\u2019 against Floyd Mayweather in 2017.<\/p>\n The UFC CEO is planning to launch Zuffa Boxing in 2026 and has grand ambitions for \u2018saving\u2019 the sport. But one aspect of White\u2019s plan has been questioned by Cormier<\/a>.<\/p>\n
