Daniel Cormier is unquestionably the greatest Champion currently active in the UFC. A double Champion, Cormier is the reigning Heavyweight and Light-Heavyweight title-holder.

Cormier won the Light-Heavyweight strap at UFC 187 defeating Anthony Johnson in a battle for the vacant belt. In the "performance of the night" Cormier submitted Johnson with a rear-naked choke in the third round.

Cormier defended the the title successfully at UFC 192 versus Alexander Gustafsson and in a re-match with Johnson at UFC 210. Controversy reigned at UFC 214, where Jon Jones defeated Cormier for the title in a match wherein the decision was overturned and the belt returned to Cormier. Jones had tested positive for steroids immediately following the contest rendering the result null and void.

Cormier next defended the title successfully against Volkan Oezdemir in a match where he once again won "performance of the night" honors.

Cormier's greatest career win was his most recent. Competing at Heavyweight, Cormier challenged UFC Heavyweight Champion, Stipe Miocic at UFC 226. Miocic, who was the first UFC Heavyweight Champion in history to successfully defend the title three times succumbed to Cormier's stunning punching power in the first round.

Cormier, a two-weight Champion sits atop of the UFC food chain, with the small matter of the "Beast" Brock Lesnar waiting to feed.
