Daniel Cormier has left no stone unturned going into the final bout of his storied career. No matter how his heavyweight title fight trilogy with champion Stipe Miocic unfolds at UFC 252, Cormier knows he’ll have done everything right as he closes the door on high-level athletic competition. Retirement has been a topic of discussion with Cormier (22-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) for the better part of three years . After taking the heavyweight title from Miocic (19-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) in their first bout in July 2018 at UFC 226, he viewed the rematch at UFC 241 in August 2019 as the perfect moment to ride off into the sunset. Then he lost the belt. Cormier has pushed his retirement timeline back to accommodate one final meeting with Miocic.
