Daniel Cormier was not happy when he was knocked out by Jon Jones at UFC 214. This was immediately clear, as he shed tears in his ill-advised post-fight interview with Octagon commentator Joe Rogan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While sadness<\/a> and disappointment were the first emotions to course through Cormier’s body after this loss, these emotions eventually gave way to anger. Speaking on the latest edition of The MMA Hour<\/a>, Cormier explained that his anger was so severe that he nearly threw his UFC titles in the garbage.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI was pissed off, man,\u201d he said (h\/t Dave Doyle of MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cI just couldn\u2019t believe that that happened. You don\u2019t understand me, you know? It\u2019s like this thing, I guess it\u2019s like a wrestling thing, you get so mad, you don\u2019t think about the the emotion and reaction, and then you regret it later. I would have regretted throwing those away. My wife wouldn\u2019t let me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Luckily, Cormier’s titles only went into the closet, not the trash.<\/p>\n

Since then Jones’ knockout win has been overturned due to a failed drug test<\/a>, and Cormier has been reinstated as the UFC light heavyweight champion<\/a>. Despite this headline-dominating turn of events, however, Cormier says he’s still not quite ready to drag his titles out of the closet and put them back on display.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI had a fight party last week to watch Luke [Rockhold]<\/a> and \u2018Canelo’ fights and I have this movie room in my house,\u201d Cormier said. \u201cI have a whole bunch of pictures and fight stuff and memories and stuff of my fights and all my championships. And when everyone came over, they saw my Strikeforce title, and King of the Cage, and XMMA and they were like \u2018hey, where are your UFC championships?\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI still haven\u2019t put those back up,\u201d Cormier continued. \u201cI tried to throw them away but my wife wouldn\u2019t let me. So I just put them away in my closet. I\u2019m still not at the point now where I can take all these belts out and face them every day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Do you think it’s time Daniel Cormier dusted off his belts and put ’em back on the mantle?<\/p>\n
