Daniel Cormier solidified his claim as the best heavyweight in mixed martial arts and one of the best fighters to ever grace the Octagon.
“DC” made it look almost too easy when he dominated challenger Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC 230 Saturday night to retain his UFC heavyweight title. Cormier (22-1) scored takedowns whenever he wanted, never took any clean punches and vanquished ”The Black Beast” in the second via rear-naked choke.
Lewis (21-6) was never allowed to get into a rhythm and eventually tapped out to the choke, officially ending the fight at 2:14 of the second frame.
