Daniel Cormier made history as a two-division champion in the UFC 230 main event on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York, becoming the first fighter to defend an Ultimate Fighting Championship title while still an active champion in another division. Moreover, Cormier did so in style, as he took out hard-hitting brawler Derrick Lewis with a second-round rear-naked choke. The end came just over two minutes into the second frame and followed an opening round in which Cormier managed to quickly and effectively implement a takedown-heavy game plan and eliminate the threat of being on the receiving end of a big bomb from Lewis.
