2. Cormier Misses An Opportunity To Further Cement His
Legacy
Daniel Cormier is an all-time great. There’s no doubting
that. The thing is, UFC 241 afforded him DC the chance to further cement his
legacy by again proving that he can hang with one of the best heavyweights of
the modern era.
Unfortunately for Cormier, that chance wasn’t taken as he
lost the UFC Heavyweight Championship back to Stipe Miocic in his first title
defense.
Having wowed at light heavyweight, DC made the step up to
heavyweight last year and amazingly toppled Miocic. And UFC 241 looked to be
going completely in Cormier’s favour.
While the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion was well on
top for the first three rounds, he didn’t take advantage of that dominance –
and Miocic made the most of that by turning the tables and getting the TKO
victory in Round 4.
