Daniel Cormier knocks out Stipe Miocic to become a double Champion.

Daniel Cormier took all of one round to knock out Stipe Miocic and derail the Heavyweight champion, thus becoming a LHW and HW title holder simultaneously. Only the second time in history it's occurred. Conor McGregor holding both the FW and LW titles first.

The bigger news was the confirmation that Brock Lesnar would step back in the Octagon after being called out by Cormier. Lesnar stormed the cage to set up a November showdown. Lesnar of course returning from a drugs suspension and is currently WWE champion.

Cormier beats the crap out of Lesnar whether he's doping or not. Lesnar has a prime skill of wrestling, something Cormier is probably the best in the world at. Cormier can bang and Lesnar has a week chin. It's just a poor match up and a completely undeserved one for Lesnar who isn't really in the top 10 heavyweights in the world.

Lesnar will go in as a huge underdog. I give it the same though, Cormier destroys him inside a round. Brock gets paid which is all he cares about. Likely forfeits a third of his purse when he's found cheating again and receives a two year ban and thus retirement. Purse will be so big he won't care, just like that boring Hunt fight. Lesnar can't get away with laying on a guy for 3 rounds this time though.

Lesnar and his arrogance though. Calling top level fighters pieces of * these being the same top level fighters that didn't get tapped by Frank Mir or rocked by him. The same fighters that didn't get knocked out by Alistair Overeem in 40 seconds. It's no wonder he struggles to get anyone on his side. The same reason the UFC fans turned on his in his first stint. Hope Cormier runs through him and we can send him packing with Paul Brooks and be rid of the pair of them for good. If there was ever an argument for the biggest piece of * fighter to hold the title in the last 20 years it'd be ironic because it's literally himself.
