Following his third-round knockout loss to Jon Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) to drop the light-heavyweight title, Cormier (19-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) posted a statement about the fight in which he included an apology to McCarthy for his hostility following the stoppage. Although Cormier was clearly disoriented following the first stoppage loss of his career and directed some of his frustrations toward the referee, “Big John” said an apology was not needed in response to the statement from “DC” (via Twitter ): 1/2 @dc_mma U have nothing to apologize for. You have been an incredible champion who has represented the sport of MMA with class & dignity — Big John McCarthy (@JohnMcCarthyMMA) July 31, 2017 2/2 @dc_mma you also fought a great fight against an incredible competitor
