Yet another Olympic caliber wrestler with an impressive resume of KOs, including his most recent of Cleveland native Stipe Miocic to capture the heavyweight championship. Cormier uses his overwhelming wrestling ability to keep his opponents weary of the takedown before launching heavy handed hooks to disorientate and eventually knock them down or unconscious.

A huge proponent of utilizing the clinch to sneak in dirty boxing and elbows, Cormier's massive frame helps lend to the power behind each strike. This is the tactic that allowed him to KO Miocic and become the first ever simultaneous light heavyweight and heavyweight champion in UFC history.

Having the ability to take any fight to the canvas and finish with dominant submission skills opens up many opportunities to ground and pound his opponents to a pulp. The man with MMA's most famous dad bod is a walking wrecking ball.
