The only complaint about an otherwise sterling performanceby Daniel Cormier has been what appeared to be two unneeded hammerfists toward the end of the fight.
But if anyone’s to blame for that, Cormier said it’s not him.
“Our job is to keep fighting until the referee pulls us off,” he said. “I went to the side and landed the first big hammerfist, and he was still not there – the ref wasn’t there. So I hit him again.
“That’s our job, to hit people. I’m supposed to hit people until the referee pulls us off. That’s what I did. I’m not the official. It’s their job to stop it.”
