Daniel Cormier was already considered one of the greats in UFC history, but Saturday night at UFC 226, he took his legacy to a whole other level. 

Cormier, the reigning light heavyweight champion, walked into the Octagon looking to dethrone the most dominant heavyweight champion in promotion history, Stipe Miocic. Not only did Cormier succeed in his historic mission, but he did so in stunning fashion by knocking Miocic out in the first round. His night of excitement didn't end there, however, as he immediately began a feud with Brock Lesnar inside the cage, with the two rumored to be facing one another at UFC 230 inside Madison Square Garden.
