Even if he is never able to settle the score with Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier’s place among the Ultimate Fighting Championship greats is secure.
Cormier claimed his second piece of championship hardware on Saturday night, as he knocked out Stipe Miocic 4:33 into the opening round of the UFC 226 headliner to claim heavyweight gold at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. “DC” is now the proud owner of both the heavyweight and light heavyweight straps, and judging by his post-fight altercation with ex-champ Brock Lesnar, he could already have his next opponent lined up.
