The big men hesitantly exchanged leg kicks to open the bout. Cormier started looping his punches, finding success. He then shot in, lifting Miocic over his head and slamming him down to the canvas like a sack of potatoes. DC took top position and chipped away from inside of the full guard of the former champ. Miocic scrambled back too his feet but ate a plethora of strikes along the way.

DC pushed the pace behind his punches, landing a bunch of volume before the bell.

Miocic pressed forward in the fourth frame, but wasn’t throwing a ton of strikes. He then started to attack the midsection. Miocic landed a set of thudding body shots that got the attention of the defending champion. Cormier bounced back with some quick punches to the head, but Miocic kept up with the body punches. Then, Miocic went upstairs and rocked Cormier. He flew in with ground strikes and the referee called off the fight.
