Brock had his first MMA fight at 29 while Daniel Cormier had his at 30. Brock fanboys like to claim Brocks late start kept him from becoming an MMA great but are quiet about DC's late start and much better fighting career.
Brock was an average fighter who was lucky to enter the UFC when the division was awful an also given some favorable matches.
He is probably in the top 20 of all time UFC heavyweights.
DC did have some kidney issues from weight cutting in the olympics, but he didn't have anything nearly as debilitating as Brock's diverticulitis. Brock was also pretty banged up from 5 years of pro-wrestling while DC never had any serious injuries before or during his time in MMA.
