Daniel Cormier outdid himself this time.
The American Kickboxing Academy cornerstone entered his champion-versus-champion superfight with Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 on July 7 with a hall-of-fame resume, as a two-time Olympian, NCAA All-American, Strikeforce grand prix winner and reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight titleholder. In less than five minutes, Cormier strengthened his claim as one of the greatest fighters of all-time.
“DC” knocked out Miocic to capture the undisputed heavyweight crown and join Conor McGregor as the only simultaneous two-division champions in UFC history.
