After two years at at the apex of MMA as the UFC light heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier was devastated by a third round knockout loss to Jon Jones at UFC 214 in July. At the time, he was rightfully broken by the fact of losing to his fierce rival for the second time.
The emotional low that Cormier reached after the fight upset him so much that he planned to throw out the UFC belts that were given to him every time he defended the title. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on Monday’s 400th MMA Hour episode, he revealed that he really would have done so if his wife had not urged him to do otherwise.
