Main event is up next.

And the trilogy is over. Not as good a fight as the second one but still very good. Greatest heavyweight trilogy of all time.

[ace3g]

Great title fight marred by a missed bad eye poke near the end of the 3rd round that basically blinded Cormier's left eye the rest of the fight.

Both fighters made adjustments which allowed for 5 rounds of high level MMA.

Bones likes to chime in after the LHW and HW fights.

Avoid Stipe’s right hand, I’m too fast, I’ll be too strong when the time is right and have way too much energy. Soon and very soon I’ll be considered the baddest man on this planet

For some reason these heavyweights don’t seem so big to me tonight

Daniel Cormier suffered a torn cornea last night, Cormier told me this morning. No timetable yet for recovery. Doctors said he won’t need surgery just yet but they have to monitor how it heals before knowing for sure. He was discharged from the hospital late Saturday night.

That was sort of karma last night.

Just got off the phone with @ufc (https://twitter.com/ufc/), today I confirm that I’m vacating the light heavyweight championship. It’s officially up for grabs. It’s been an amazing journey, sincere thank you to all my competition, Ufc and most importantly you fans.

The last I spoke with @ufc (https://twitter.com/ufc/) about my salary there was no negotiating. If that ever changes, i’d love to come back and compete again as a heavyweight. Until then, I’ll be enjoying Ufc has a fan and doing my best to take care of my family and community careproject.org (https://t.co/NoTTpRTMH0)

In good faith I will be staying in the testing pool for probably the next half year or so. I’ll continue to lift weights and train all the different martial arts

Well that was fast..., lol

Just had a really positive conversation with @ufc (https://twitter.com/ufc/). Sounds like there will be negotiations for my next fight at heavy weight. All good news, the weight gaining process begins.

First light heavyweight to win six championships in a row I’ll pay $100,000 to whatever charity of their liking. I’ll be waiting

Was going to challenge a light heavyweight to beat my world championship record but we all know that’s probably not happening in this lifetime.

It would’ve been fun but have you seen the size of the guys in my family? I really do believe putting on a little extra weight is going to bring out my true genetic/athletic potential.
