Oklahoma State alum Daniel Cormier lost the UFC heavyweight championship to Stipe Miocic by fourth-round TKO of their rematch in the UFC 241 main event Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Miocic stunned Cormier, a two-time All-American wrestler at OSU and two-time Olympian, with a left hook to the body then hit him again with a right, causing the champion to stagger to the cage. Miocic then fired a flurry of punches down on Cormier until referee Herb Dean called the fight in 4 minutes, 9 seconds.
The loss snaps Cormier’s (22-2, 1 NC) eight-fight unbeaten run since Jan.
