Although it&#8217;s good to see that Cormier was able to look past his own personal drama with &#8220;Notorious,&#8221; the fact that McGregor has been so negative about Cormier lately would have made one think that DC wouldn&#8217;t give him any more press. Instead, Cormier ignored his own personal feelings and put McGregor at the top of the list of the most exciting fighters.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the 10 fighters who Cormier and Clark picked are all exciting fighters who have played important roles in getting MMA to where it is today. It&#8217;s not easy to cut the list down to the top five, but it appears as though Cormier and Clark have come up with a solid list.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with the list Daniel Cormier had of the top-five, must-see UFC fighters of all time?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier shared his list of the top-five, must-see UFC fighters of all time.
