Daniel Cormier is still, without a doubt, one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world and one of the greatest light heavyweights to ever lace up the gloves. But the former Olympian took a big fall against Jon Jones at UFC 214, losing via TKO in the biggest fight of his career.
Cormier, who ruled the light heavyweight throne in Jones’ absence, started off well in the early rounds but caught a devastating left head kick in the third. That’s when ‘Bones’, who turned 30 last month, turned up the pressure and brutalized Cormier with ground-and-pound, becoming the first man to finish ‘DC’ inside the Octagon.
