Daniel Cormier admits he may have had the perfect opportunity to end his career on a high in 2018, but he’s looking to re-create that moment one more time in 2020. Cormier (22-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) is projected to challenge UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic later this year and plans to leave no doubt in their trilogy after the duo swapped wins, and belts, in their first two matchups. In their first outing then-UFC light heavyweight champ Cormier moved up in weight to challenge Miocic and knocked him out in the first round to become a simultaneous two-division UFC champion. The pair faced off a second time last August at UFC 241. But this time it was Miocic who stopped “DC” to reclaim the title and even the score at one win apiece. Cormier knows that UFC 226 could have been a perfect ending to his career, but putting a close to his trilogy with Miocic would certainly be a special way to leave the sport.
