What is Daniel Cormier’s legacy?

[Fraz]

UFCs propaganda minister

 

[MrKontakos]

Short guy who made a career off of beating up big guys. You love to see it.

Shame how much of a shill he's become recently but fuck man, he's gotta pay the bills too.

 

[Prefect]

What will you remember him for?

Being fat.

 

[Dan Torrance]

Fedor

Making Jones have to cheat with PEDs to fight him and still was too scared to challenge heavyweight DC.

Can idiots stop with this 'Jones should have fought DC at HW"shit. At that point in his career, DC was a WAY better LHW than he was a HW. LHW forced DC to get into shape. At HW he moved like he was fighting in 5ft of mud. In the ufc, lhw DC is way better than HW DC. And it's not even close

Fat man that climbed many mountains.

Ragdolling heavyweights, rivalry with a cheating Jon Jones and turning into a bit of a smug crybaby, but a good commentator.
One of the greats no doubt. I think the only real taint on DC's career is the Jon Jones NC and it is not even because of DC. Shame.

 

[Elvis.]

I’ll remember him for being a 2 division champ and for being a big enough threat that Jones felt he needed gear to fight him .
He should come out of retirement and challenge Jones at hw , Dc is better at hw IMO

“I beat you after a weekend of cocaine.”

1. This. Which is so disrespectful, Cormier is a great fighter.. But that quote will stick.
2. Him winning the strikeforce tournament, I remember I thought "he is like a black Fedor".
3. His fight with Gustafsson.

His HW record is his most impressive achievement and surpasses anything Jones has done.
HW DC who focussed on HW was a scary dude and Jones wanted no part.

 

[stronghulk]

Throwing Josh Barnett around like it's nothing. Seriously impressive.

Similar slams got handed out to Dan Henderson and Alex Gustafsson. Powerful Daniel.
I wrote my top-3 moments, things I think about when I hear/read his name. But his resume should be respected, he beat everyone in the LHW except Jon and became the HW champion. Great athlete.

 

[HotWingsSlayer]

Unfortunate to be around the guy who got free pass to cheat and use Peds.
Otherwise elite fighter, arguably GOAT status. Amazing wrestling, big big heart, class act.

 

[faustian]

Good enough that Jon Jones believed he needed PEDs in order to compete with DC. Although tbf you can probably say that about all of Jon's opponents

He did also beat Rumble twice who Jones never fought so the possibility that could end up as paper/scissors/stone.

Legacy spilt between LHW and HW so probably not enough wins to be at the top of either but P4P I think he's one of the guys(admitidly not THAT short a list anymore) just behind the GOAT candiates.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

The huge impact he made in Strikeforce.

 

[kalabula]

One of the GOATs for sure ..

For sure? I would say this is highly debatable considering he lost to Jon and Stipe, both twice.

 

[Aurelian]

His legacy is being a high level wrestler who legit won the HW Title even though he started a bit late in mma.

 

[Aurelian]

Always a step behind Jon and a company man.

Where is Jon's HW Title? Oh wait... he's too scared to even fight at HW.
