Of course, UFC championship champion Daniel Cormier is on top since his victory against Derrick Lewis, who retains his heavyweight title at UFC 230 last weekend. But with a new fight in the books, it means that we are getting closer to the retirement that Cormier self-imposed on the occasion of his 40th birthday on March 20, 2019.
Which is sad when you think about it. More "DC"? No way, man.
Cormier will soon earn a big salary with a fight against Brock Lesnar, which was expected since Cormier won the heavyweight title of Stipe Miocic in July.
So, all the better for him to earn a lot of money before leaving at sunset.
As a result of UFC 230, we wonder if the next fight will really be. What could prevent Cormier from continuing to fight after March 20, 2019? A trilogy of Jon Jones? Do not look like that.
Or what about his two young children? Could they talk to him? Brian "Goze", co-host of MMAjunkie Radio, asked Cormier what he had said during his appearance this week in the show. The champion's response included a touching story about his daughter's reaction to Lewis's victory after UFC 230:
"I think my kids love fighting. They like the excitement of the arena. They have been to the last three. They like that, but they do not like the other side either. My daughter does not like the other side, man. She was in the press conference area and was waiting for me to leave. Derrick went there and he was in the same area as my children. And my wife said that she had seen him, looking over there, my little girl, and Derrick was a little standing, head down. (My daughter) go, "Mom." And my wife, "What?" She goes, "I feel really bad for Derrick, he looks sad." Then they must have seen the other side, and I do not think my daughter likes it, man, she's very sensitive. do not think they will ask daddy to fight again.because they've also seen me on the other side when i lost to jones (at l '# 39; UFC 214), so they know the ups and downs of the fighting game.

That puts a lot of things in perspective, does not it?
