Daniel Cormier plays matchmaker for UFC bantamweight division

Daniel Cormier has an idea of how the UFC’s bantamweight division should pan out.

Merab Dvalishvili sits atop of the bantamweight ladder after dethroning Sean O’Malley this past September at UFC 306. Petr Yan is fresh off a five-round main event win over Deiveison Figueiredo in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 248 headliner in Macau, and Umar Nurmagomedov awaits his title shot after defeating Cory Sandhagen in the UFC on ABC 7 headliner this past August.

But with Dvalishvili refusing to acknowledge Nurmagomedov as the rightful No. 1 contender and turning his attention to Yan, how will the division unfold?
