This past Saturday night at UFC 241, Cormier suffered only the second loss of his professional career when he fell in the fourth round of his championship rematch against Stipe Miocic.
After controlling the majority of the fight, Cormier succumbed to a series of body shots that eventually allowed Miocic to go head hunting before earning the knockout to reclaim the heavyweight title.
Afterwards, Cormier said he wasn’t ready to make a decision on his future after hinting that the fight against Miocic could be the final bout of his career. For his part, the UFC president didn’t think Cormier looked over matched or out skilled against Miocic but rather he just got beat by the better fighter that night.
