Daniel Cormier breaks the news!

The former Olympian provided some insight into his newly born daughter’s birth and shared his excitement.

“I want to talk about the birth of Luna Rose Cormier. She was born last Wednesday, four and a half weeks early, and still six pounds eleven ounces. We were looking down the barrel of a twelve baby if she went full term. But man, she’s here, she’s home, she’s beautiful. She is a splitting image of my daughter, Marquita. It’s amazing to welcome my new daughter into the family, and I’m so happy and proud. I can’t get enough of her.”
