Two weeks removed from his devastating title loss at UFC 214, Daniel Cormier has finally spoken.

“DC” met Jon Jones in a long-awaited rematch in the July pay-per-view main event with his light heavyweight championship on the line. Two and a half years after losing to Jones, who was the champ at the time, Cormier lost to the Jackson-Wink MMA fighter again — this time by brutal third-round knockout. The rivalry likely ended, and not in the way Cormier envisioned.

The former champ posted a statement on social media the day after his second pro MMA loss, but besides that, he’d been silent since the Jones rematch up until now.
