Daniel Cormier reigned supreme over two weight classes during his stint in the UFC. However, it seems like he has managed to replicate the same success in sports like golf. He recently took to Twitter to issue an open challenge to MMA professionals.

'DC' called upon his colleagues to square up on the fairway or in any other sport. The former double-champ recalled his game of golf with Justin Gaethje. He further promised to make short work of his next opponent like he did to 'The Highlight'.

Cormier also promised to pay for his prospective opponents' travel and make his money back by winning a wager placed on their game.

"I got a question, who in MMA plays golf or sports and is in Houston! I’m trying to play someone else on the course like I whipped Justin Gaethje (@Justin_Gaethje). I’ll fly you in to destroy you, and you’ll pay me back with the bet money. Who wants the smoke?"
