Daniel Cormier Reacts to Francis Ngannou’s KO win
Cormier was a part of the broadcast team for UFC 249. He was one of the commentators along with Joe Rogan and Jon Anik. The former two-division champion was stunned to see Ngannou make quick work of Rozenstruik.
This is hilarious, this reaction is real. The moment I saw @francis_ngannou start to head downhill I knew jarzinho was in trouble. Crazy , insane , power. This dude gives the refs heart attacks, they run in like they’re trying to save his opponents lives, maybe they are sheesh! https://t.co/qWi4pBAHal

Unfortunately for Ngannou, he will not be fighting for the title anytime soon. As of now, the heavyweight division of the UFC has stagnated. There is barely any movement in the rankings, especially at the top.

Since Cormier’s loss to Stipe Miocic in their second fight, there hasn’t been a single title bout in the division. According to UFC President Dana White, Cormier is next in line to face off against Miocic in a trilogy. And that fight is probably a few months away.
So what has stopped the UFC from booking the match? Soon after DC vs Miocic 2, Stipe underwent eye surgery which put him out of the competition. The recent Coronavirus outbreak is also the cause of delay as Stipe holds a second job as a firefighter-paramedic.

DC vs Stipe 3 will be Cormier’s retirement match. If Cormier wins, Ngannou will probably fight Miocic for the vacant strap. However, if Stipe wins, Ngannou vs Miocic 2 is bound to happen.
