A grueling battle culminated in Miocic landing a devastating knockout deep into the fourth round as he put Daniel Cormier down and out to avenge his prior loss to him and reclaim the title he held longer than any fighter in UFC history.
“DC’s a tough motherf—ker. I’m going to give it to him,” Miocic said after having the heavyweight title wrapped back around his waist. “Thank god cause that mothef—ker’s tough and he kept coming. It’s a fight, anything can happen.”
Cormier was ultra-confident as he came out guns blazing in the opening round, blasting Miocic’s lead leg with kicks.
