What is Daniel Cormier’s legacy?

[JustBleed69]

A Top 10 Great for sure.
Top 5 LHW and HW of All Time.
Some amazing wins, also believe his prime was in StrikeForce.
His physique drastically changed after cutting to 205 in the UFC, even when he went back up to HW he didn't look near the same as he did in StrikeForce.

Also extremely likeable until he became a UFC employee.
Sadly, now he is unbearable as a person.

One of the best to ever do it. And the greatest rival of the greatest of all time.

And lots of memes and gifs.

The greatest rival who lost 4-1 then was losing 2-1 before he got KO'd? It's Ali and Frazier all over again!

DC’s legacy is answering YES to the question “Hey pussy are you still there?”

His career suffers from being in Jones's shadow at LHW, and not sticking around long enough at HW. Hes still somewhere in the all time top 10 p4p though.

 

[Oldman1]

he has no legacy

pride legends are above him
yes he'd beat most of them
but they are far better than him

Yes I completely don't agree with you

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Great fighter.

Terrible commentarist.

 

[DestinedAussie]

What will you remember him for?

For Juicey Jones living rent free in his head.

The skill and passion for wrestling and him being a captain everywhere he goes. Yet still to this day teaches wrestling to kids, with all the money and success he has. Built a new wrestling academy recently. Teaches wrestling in UFC commentary as well, with a similar positive authority as Blatnick did.

And he was part of the AKA second success period, where Javier's vision for their perfect MMA style was the chaining of strikes to takedowns to active GnP.

Cain was the perfect fighter to highlight AKA's style. DC started older and was also important as their wrestling coach/mentor, but gave great success for their gym, something that Cain couldn't do because of injuries. And Khabib is their crown jewel with a perfect record to show the "punch to takedown - smother" style.

Corporate Stooge and sellout. Disrespected that popeyes commercial

 

[ryun253]

One of the few men JJ was able to knock out cold.

 

[omawho402]

Not all time top 10, but good fighter nonetheless

 

[Canarinha]

Always a step behind Jon and a company man.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

An emotional man, that can't control his emotions in the presence of someone that's more superior than him in popularity, or more talented than himself inside the octagon.

Highly overrated, he sure knows how to pretend to be friendly though.

 

[COBRA03]

To me, he is possibly the greatest LHW ever, not named Jon Jones. As far as I know, he is the only fighter to ever have won LHW belt and the HW belt at the same time. I know Randy Couture won both also, but not simultaneously.
By far the best fat fighter ever! Was never a fan of his, but his greatness is matched by few others.

 

[Nobru]

I will remember him as the most succesful fat midget to shine at hw

 

[LouisDG1989]

For being Jon's cuck.

 

[OlderMan]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh ORDINARY Cheat via towelgate and eyepoking when neccessary............

 

[eddi]

cucked by jones and losing to stipe, he's a rival to the greats but also a secondary character in the grand scheme of things.
