For those hardcore Daniel Cormier fans, you are in for a treat as his AKA teammate, Khabib Nurmagomedov awards him a 5 star rating. A 5 star rating is short list as of now and only the great fighters who shown to be levels above their competitors gets to have this.
Fortunately for DC, the EA Sports has given him the elite rating. He is now the eighth fighter to receive these award. He even said that he thought he would never get it since he finished his career with two back to back losses. He so much deserves it, considering he won belts in two divisions and defended it as well.
It is also great seeing his AKA teammate give it to him, since Cormier is usually the one that awards the fighters the rating. Considering that Cormier achieved a lot inside and outside the sport, he still was genuinely happy with the medal.
- Israel Adesanya
- Max Holloway
- Jon Jones
- Amanda Nunes
- Khabib Nurmagomedov
- Valentina Shevchenko
- Kamaru Usman
- Daniel Cormier
Only the fighters listed above have gotten these ratings and clearly shows that only great fighters are in the short list.
UFC Heavyweight Champion, Stipe Miocic also came in to the show but Cormier just showed his competitive spirit. He challenged Miocic in a fight but not physically. They both played the EA Sports UFC 4 and it was a pretty fun back and forth.
Their rivalry has shown great sportsmanship and class. Miocic continues to add another win to his already fantastic legacy and Cormier is just enjoying his retirement.
