The legend of Daniel Cormier stands at its final chapter as the 41-year-old edges closer to his trilogy fight with Stipe Miocic.

After this fight, DC proposes to hang the gloves. After all, he has been around the Octagon for quite some time now. He started training in MMA after his Olympics stint in 2008 and has been part of the evolving sport ever since.

One thing that has remained constant in his MMA tenure is his gym. Cormier began training in Mixed Martial Arts at American Kickboxing Academy. And AKA helped him hone his skills and scale the heights of the unbelievable success that he has today.

The former UFC Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight started training with Cain Velasquez as soon as he picked up MMA, along with Jon Fitch and many others. Soon, more names like Luke Rockhold joined and together they became staples of the gym.

Cormier took to Twitter to commemorate his journey with the American Kickboxing Academy and his fellow fighters.

“We’ve always had each other’s back, I’m so lucky to have these guys in my career and in my life. I couldn’t have done this career without you two fellas. We’re the 3 kings of [American Top Team] and we went to the moon! I’m so lucky to have my brothers [Cain Velasquez and  Luke Rockhold].”

Will Daniel Cormier close the curtains with a new title?

DC has been waiting to conclude his trilogy with Stipe Miocic for a long time. As soon as Miocic took back the Heavyweight title from DC in their rematch, DC felt he had a point to prove.

Even though Cormier accepts that Stipe is a formidable striker, he said that he should not have lost that fight.
