Daniel Cormier has been a competitor almost as long as he’s been alive.
From wrestling to mixed martial arts, the two-time Olympian and former two-division UFC champion has largely dedicated his life to athletics but after celebrating his 41st birthday just recently, he also understands that he can’t fight forever.
That’s why Cormier has targeted his next fight against reigning heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic as his last even if people like UFC president Dana White have made it clear that he could easily keep going for several more years. Assuming he’s victorious in his trilogy with Miocic, Cormier’s decision would be that much harder because he’d be retiring with a title still wrapped around his waist.
