LAS VEGAS -- Daniel Cormier is a two-weight UFC champion. Brock Lesnar is apparently back in the mixed martial arts business. And Dana White has never smiled so big.
Cormier (21-1) claimed the UFC's heavyweight championship belt at UFC 226 on Saturday, as he knocked out Stipe Miocic with a short right hand in the opening round. The finish came at the 4:33 mark, after Miocic -- the longest reigning champion in UFC heavyweight history -- crumpled from the shot.
Already the UFC's light heavyweight champion, Cormier becomes just the second fighter to ever hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously.
