It’s been a tough month for former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.
Just one week after losing the heavyweight title to Stipe Miocic at UFC 241, the former Olympian tragically lost his stepfather to cancer.
Teammate and friend Khabib Nurmagomedov, who trains with Cormier at San Jose’s American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), says everyone at AKA was affected by ‘DC’s’ loss.
“When DC loses, it was a very sad moment for us,” Nurmagomedov said on Friday during the UFC 242 media conference call (h/t Damon Martin of MMA Fighting).
