NASHVILLE – Daniel Cormier hasn’t given us reasons to doubt his professionalism as a color commentator for the UFC, but one would imagine that staying unbiased while calling fights featuring his teammates must be a little challenging.

It’s a good thing, then, that UFC on ESPN+ 6 co-headliner Justin Willis plans on making it easy for UFC heavyweight champion and fellow American Kickboxing Academy stablemate on Saturday.

“I’m looking to go into this fight and dominate,” Willis told reporters, including MMA Junkie, during a media day on Thursday. “So I don’t think (Cormier)’s going to be talking too much about Curtis Blaydes.”

Confidence clearly isn’t a problem for Willis who enters his first UFC co-main event less than four months after a big win over Mark Hunt. Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, “Big Pretty” had confidently told MMA Junkie about his plans to take over the heavyweight throne once Cormier was done “doing what he’s doing.”

The way Willis (8-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) sees it, Blaydes (10-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is simply another step toward getting there – and a win isn’t a matter of “if,” but of “when.” In fact, not only is Willis confident in a win, but he’s not even worried about the main weapon of a man who plans to retire as the UFC’s “best heavyweight wrestler ever.”

“D.C., (ex-champ Cain Velasquez), overall, A.K.A, we’re known for wrestling,” Willis said. “And I came in there as just a fighter. A person who just fights, with grit. And I guess coming up behind them, I was able to learn defense, offense. I was able to mix it up and really turn into a complete martial artist.

“In their level of wrestling, Curtis Blaydes is not in that type of level. The chain wrestling, etc etc etc. I’m used to the creme de la creme of wrestling, that’s just not him.”

A win over the current No. 7 fighter in the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA heavyweight rankings would certainly put the unbeaten Willis, who’s currently an honorable mention, in a prime spot in the UFC’s somewhat shallow heavyweight division.

But Willis, to put it politely, doesn’t seem all that concerned about such details at the moment.

“(Expletive) the division,” Willis said. “(Expletive) all of them. It’s the same thing I always say: I’m here to be great. That’s it, that’s all. So I don’t worry about these guys. None of them. I’m here to just be great, continue to win.”

Willis does, however, have a specific view of what said greatness would entail. And that would be not only one, but two UFC belts.

“My goal, and I’ve kind of been adamant about this, is after I win this title, we need to open a super heavyweight division,” Willis said. “So I can win that, too.

“… There’s a lot of guys who cut (weight). So the guys who don’t have to cut can just go create a new division, man. That’s what it’s about, man. I know I can put asses in seats once the UFC start giving me some more light and stop (expletive)ing around with me.”

To find out about Willis’ more immediate plans, though, we’ll have to wait until after he’s done with Saturday’s ESPN+ televised meeting at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

“To be honest with you, I’m only worrying about winning on Saturday,” Willis said. “After that, when emotions are gone, you guys will hear exactly what I have to say.”
