For the second year in a row, Daniel Cormier has won the Analyst of the Year award at the World MMA Awards. The former UFC double champ took to Twitter to congratulate everyone who has played a part in the shift from a fighter to an analyst.
Fans chose Cormier as the winner of the Analyst of the Year honors at the award show organized by Fighters Only Magazine. The competition for DC included names such as Dan Hardy, Michael Bisping, Paul Felder, and Robin Black. However, none of them could sway the audience enough to take away Cormier’s award.

Cormier donned the analyst’s hat back in 2016. He has an easy-to-get-along personality which suited him well even while working in a three-man booth during UFC fights. Years of experience competing at the professional level have enabled him to understand the ins-and-outs of the sport. Moreover, his involvement in the EA Sports UFC 4 has only bolstered his case for the award.
