The curse of International Fight Week is working overtime this year.
UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier had a scary fall Thursday following the conclusion of UFC 226’s pre-fight press conference at the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Cormier, who challenges Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title in UFC 226’s main event, appeared to trip to the floor hard after standing from his seat. Cormier stayed down for several seconds until gingerly rising to his feet and limping backstage with the help of UFC security. “DC” then walked out to face off with Miocic following a tense few minutes.
