Since UFC 226, &#8220;DC&#8221; had gone on to successfully defend\u00a0 his title against UFC titan, Derrick Lewis at UFC 230.<\/p>\n<p>Before losing to one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Miocic had defended his title reign for three fights. He beat the heavy-hitters, Francis Ngannou, Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem. Since losing to Cormier on July 7, 2018, the American fighter has taken time out to spend with family and prepare to avenge his loss.<\/p>\n<p>Miocic <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/daniel-cormier\/stipe-miocic-believes-lay-off-is-secret-to-beating-cormier\/\">believed time out<\/a> was the secret to beating Cormier.

He hit me with a number of right hands and I didn&#8217;t really feel anything. So I may have taken those for granted.&#8221; Daniel Cormier said. &#8220;He landed a great one (right hand) and then did a great job of following up. He&#8217;s a fantastic champion and congratulations to Stipe and his team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joe Rogan then asked Daniel Cormier if he plans to fight again following the loss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, you don&#8217;t make decisions based on emotions. But, it is a tough pill to swallow. And uh, at forty years old, you know, with so many other opportunities. I need to speak to my wife and we need to make an educated decision as to what we are going to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Were you surprised by tonight&#8217;s UFC 241 main event result?
