so Daniel Cormier got knocked out in the 4th round last night and seeing people trashing him online. Saying he's overrated blah blah blah.
To me he's one of the absolute best. Yes he lost last night but he was up 3 rounds and he got caught. Let's not forget he's 40 so his chin isn't what it was either and stipe is one of the harder hitters in that division.
People make fun of him for crying in the cage when he loses. Imo those people are idiots. There's no shame in crying especially when you put everything into fighting like he does.
DC has never been completely outclassed he's looked good in all of his loses and was winning against a juiced up jones.
Alps the guy didn't start Mma until he was 30. If he'd been doing it from his 20s he'd have been unbeatable badk then.
But my main reason for respecting him is the adversity he has over come.
I saw recently his dad shot dead when he was a kid (can't remember what age he was) that's terrible In itself but then later in life his 3 month old daughter was killed by a reckless driver crashing into the back of his car.
Imo that's the reason for his hate for Jones. Because Jones has done the same stupid, selfish and disgusting actions that the driver who killed his kid did.
The fact he came back from that to become the man he is is inspiring as I've been in a very similar situation when my wife was killed by a drunk driver and it very nearly ended me.
So Daniel Cormier will always have my respect in or out of the cage
