One of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters of all time has called it a career.
Daniel Cormier announced his retirement Saturday after losing a UFC heavyweight title trilogy fight to Stipe Miocic by unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) in the main event of UFC 252 in Las Vegas.
Cormier, a former Oklahoma State All-American wrestler and two-time Olympian, said he’s only interested in title fights and doesn’t see one in his future.
“I’m not interested in fighting for anything but titles. I don’t imagine there’s going to be a title in the future, so that will be it for me,” the 41-year-old Cormier said on the ESPN pay-per-view broadcast.
