With every passing fight, Daniel Cormier puts himself into more rarified air. After UFC 230 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, he is now the first simultaneous two-division champion in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship to defend both of the belts around his waist. However, does “DC” deserve better?
The answer is yes. UFC 230 was a shoddily composed card in which a one-handed legend took apart a viable challenger, but ultimately a challenger propelled by his social media presence and the fact that four weeks ago he earned the biggest win of his career and joked about the temperature of his testicles.
