After 16 professional fights, Cormier finally suffered his first defeat in his last outing. However, it wasn’t just a loss, it was a landslide loss of epic proportions.
Cormier not only came up short of capturing the ever-elusive UFC light heavyweight title, but he was trounced by mortal enemy Jon Jones. “Bones” absolutely manhandled Cormier, even beating the former Olympic wrestler at his own game.
Despite having another chance to capture the crown by beating Anthony Johnson Saturday at UFC 187, Cormier can’t erase what Jones did to him from is memory, or the permanent mark “Bones” left in his loss column.
