UFC 241 Review: 7 Ups And 4 Downs

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.
