Daniel Cormier was crushed that he lost to Jon Jones in January. But man was he happy the whole thing was over.
There was the press conference brawl, the heated verbal exchange caught on hot mics, an encounter in an MGM hallway and numerous press conferences and staredowns. The lead up to the UFC 182 main event took on a life of its own.
"As much as it sucked to lose, I thought that after that fight I would be separated from him," Cormier said on a UFC 187 media conference call Wednesday.
