Daniel Cormier's Wife

With a professional record of 22-3-1, Daniel Cormier is a retired mixed martial artist known for his time in the UFC. Raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, Cormier has one of the most accomplished resumes in the world of combat sports. As a wrestler, Daniel Cormier has a world bronze medal, a gold medal in the Pan American Championship, is a two-time NJCAA champion, and has won countless other state championships.

Prior to the UFC, Daniel Cormier had won the heavyweight championship at three other promotions: Xtreme MMA, King of the Cage, and Strike Force. In the UFC, Daniel Cormier was added to the UFC Hall of Fame in the Class of 2022. Apart from being an accomplished mixed martial artist, he is also an excellent analyst and a broadcaster.

While some believe his legacy went a little under after his second loss to Stipe Miocic, the man himself doesn't agree with that. Leading up to the trilogy fight against Miocic, Cormier said that his legacy peaked when he won the heavyweight championship in 2018. He says when it comes to guys like him and Anderson Silva, the losses at the tail end of their careers shouldn't taint their overall achievements.

"He (Anderson Silva) was the greatest fighter in the world. Georges St-Pierre can come back and what if [he] fights Khabib [Nurmagomedov] and loses? That won't change anything. When Demetrious Johnson lost to Henry Cejudo it didn't change anything.” interview with CBS sports
