\"Daniel<\/a><\/p>\n

While Jon Jones deals with his\u00a0battle on the drug front, his last opponent Daniel Cormier is dealing with another kind of battle.<\/p>\n

The battle of handling\u00a0your first professional defeat.<\/p>\n

And while Jon Jones has occupied most our thoughts, including D.C.’s, it’s not the drugs\u00a0haunting Cormier today. It’s the loss.<\/p>\n

D.C. tells MMAJunkie.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make me feel better to have lost against a guy who was doing drugs… I don\u2019t really know (If he would have taken the fight knowing of Jon’s drug problem). Again, this stuff is all so fresh, I really don\u2019t know. I\u2019m just kind of taking \u2013 there\u2019s no thought or anything. I don\u2019t really put much thought into it. I\u2019m still kind of thinking about the fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s lay down in bed and think about the fight over, and over and over again,\u201d he said. \u201cIt eats at me. I see everything he does; I see all of his social media jabs at me and everything. And I welcome them, and I will use them as motivation to rebuild myself.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very aware, but very disappointed, in the fact that I didn\u2019t accomplish this goal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
