UFC 220 video recap: Cormier hands Oezdemir first UFC loss via crucifix TKO

Six months ago, Daniel Cormier was reeling from his second career loss when he was stopped by Jon Jones in the third round at UFC 214. On Saturday night in Boston, “DC” bounced back strong with a second-round stoppage win over fast-rising prospect Volkan Oezdemir.

What was the high point of the fight?

Coming into the fight, Oezdemir was looking to showcase his punching power that was on full display in his last fight against Jimi Manuwa. While he did get some good looks in the fight, Cormier’s championship experience prevailed, along with his patented wrestling prowess.
