His opponent, the former Strikeforce Hw and current Ufc light-Hw champ Daniel Cormier, has an official record of 20-1-0 (65% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.1 light heavyweight. ‘DC’ suffered his only loss against Jon Jones in their first fight in 2015 (Jones vs Cormier I), since then he has won five bouts beating Anderson Silva in 2016 (Cormier vs Silva), Anthony Johnson in 2017 (Cormier vs Johnson 2) and Volkan Oezdemir in 2018 (Daniel Cormier vs Volkan Oezdemir). In 2017 he had also faced Jon Jones for the second time losing via KO, but then the result was overturned in a no-contest since ‘Bones’ tested positive for Turinabol (Cormier vs Jones 2).
