Daniel Cormier won the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lottery after he was given another shot at the light heavyweight title when former champion, Jon Jones, was stripped of his belt and suspended for his involvement in a hit-and-run accident in Albuquerque, New Mexico (details).
This second title fight arrives four months after "DC" came up short in his bid to dethrone "Bones" at UFC 182 after five rounds of action.
While he was elated at the news, some scoffed at the idea of giving him another shot at the strap -- even under such unusual circumstances -- not long after losing to the champion.
