“This opportunity is huge for me,” he said, via MMAFighting.com. “Wrestling has been the foundation for everything I’ve done. I’m excited to coach a great team in Gilroy and excited to give back to the town that has accepted me and my family so openly,” stated Cormier.
It’s not about the money for Cormier, he accepted the position pro-bono. Cormier’s next fight will be July 7th at UFC 226.
