Former UFC two-division champion Daniel Cormier will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer. Cormier's impressive career saw him conquer both the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, leaving a lasting legacy in the sport.
Daniel Cormier , a former two-division UFC champion, is set to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer. Cormier's illustrious career saw him dominate both the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions. He achieved the feat of becoming the UFC heavyweight champion concurrently while holding the light heavyweight title, a period largely influenced by the absence of Jon Jones .
Cormier engaged in two high-profile battles with Jones inside the octagon, unfortunately suffering defeats in both encounters. The second fight was ultimately declared a no-contest after Jones tested positive for banned substances. These two losses represent the sole blemishes on Cormier's impressive nine-year, 21-fight professional record. He relinquished the heavyweight championship to Stipe Miocic in 2019 and subsequently faced another defeat against Miocic in their trilogy bout the following year, marking his final appearance under the UFC banner.Cormier's last victory within the UFC occurred at UFC 230 in November 2018 when he defeated Derrick Lewis. Lewis landed only five out of 14 strikes compared to Cormier's 42 out of 54. The bout concluded in the second round. Notably, Cormier holds the record for the most knockouts in UFC history with an astounding 15, surpassing renowned fighters like. Lewis's fight against Cormier was his sole opportunity to compete for UFC gold until he challenged and lost to Ciryl Gane at UFC 265 in August 2021. Cormier's second encounter with Miocic at UFC 241 witnessed him establish a record for the most significant strikes landed in a UFC heavyweight fight, connecting with 181 out of 263 strikes. He further set a record for the most significant head strikes landed in a UFC heavyweight bout with 162
