Madison Square Garden got to witness history, as Daniel Cormier closed out UFC 230 by successfully defending his heavyweight championship via second-round submission against Derrick Lewis in Saturday's main event.
The victory made Cormier the first UFC fighter to defend two belts concurrently, as DC is also the champion of the light heavyweight division.
Lewis came in with a puncher's chance, but DC showed very quickly that he was going to have to catch him early in the round for that to matter. Cormier had his first takedown locked in after taking just one strike, and that set the tone for the matchup.
