LAS VEGAS – Dana White isn’t willing to say the eye poke suffered by Daniel Cormier at UFC 252 was the reasons for the outcome of the fight. UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic (20-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) outlasted Cormier in a five-round battle in Saturday’s main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, putting a close to their historic trilogy. For Cormier (22-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC), who confirmed he will retire after the fight, the loss had a bit of an asterisk on it . Cormier was poked in his left eye in Round 3, which reportedly resulted in a torn cornea that he said hampered his vision for the rest of the fight.
