Rinse and repeat DC. Other paydays more important. Look good another night.

If you're in attendance at UFC 230 and booing the first takedown by Daniel Cormier then you should be kicked out of the arena and never allowed back.

Dominant first round for DC. Takedown city. 10-9. Maybe even 10-8. #UFC230

DC has a choke. Lewis taps. And that is it. Cormier retains the UFC heavyweight title. #UFC230

If you don't love Daniel Cormier, we have absolutely nothing to talk about.
Go fuck yourself.

Daniel Cormier gives a UFC belt to each of his two kids and then has them answer "my dad!" when he asks "who's the champ?" That's on brand for the Daddest Man on the Planet™️
— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) November 4, 2018
Well that was hella predictable but let’s give Lewis credit for stepping up to save this card. Dc is on another level, hope to see him rematch Jones one last time before he retires. #UFC230
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) November 4, 2018
Daniel Cormier is now the first fighter in UFC history to successfully defend two different titles. #UFC230
— Michael Carroll (@MJCflipdascript) November 4, 2018
Daniel Cormier defended his Light Heavyweight title in January. He then knocked out Stipe Miocic to become the Heavyweight Champion in July. He ends the year by defending the Heavyweight title. DC is the 2018 fighter of the year.

Dana White is asked if Daniel Cormier could someday be president of the UFC, he answers "definitely" and praises Cormier for succeeding in various roles for the organization already
