Daniel Cormier’s NCAA wrestling career ended with a loss to the legendary Cael Sanderson. Cormier’s Olympic wrestling run ended with him not being able to compete because of kidney issues related to weight cutting. On Saturday, Cormier’s MMA run seemingly came to a close with a decision loss to Stipe Miocic in a heavyweight title fight.
Cormier gave it his all in his third battle against Miocic, but the adjustments Miocic and his team made seemed to be more effective and meaningful. That and the coaching Miocic received during the fight seemed to make the difference in the trilogy bout, which headlined UFC 252.
