After defeating Alexander Gustafsson by split decision in the UFC 192 main event on Saturday at the Toyota Center in Houston, Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight titleholder Daniel Cormier rose right above all the noise and thanked his opponent for bringing out the best in him.
Just as the second half of his walkout song -- Lil’ Wayne’s “Right Above It” -- suggests, the American Kickboxing Academy standout sidestepped talk of a rematch with former champion Jon Jones and instead praised Gustafsson in wake of their five-round classic.
