When Daniel Cormier knocked out Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 to claim the heavyweight championship, he became only the second man in UFC history to hold titles simultaneously in two different weight classes . The first, Conor McGregor, had a short-lived run as champ-champ, with the UFC stripping him of his featherweight title only two weeks after he won the lightweight belt. Now it appears Cormier is in a similar boat.
Speaking recently with Ariel Helwani of ESPN, Cormier suggested that the UFC is pressuring him to relinquish his light heavyweight title so Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson can fight for it later this year.
