For the first three rounds of their heavyweight championship rematch at UFC 241, Daniel Cormier looked to be having his way with Stipe Miocic, peppering with his face with jabs almost at will. But late in the fourth round Miocic repeatedly connected with crushing blows to Cormier’s rib cage, then finished the fight with a flurry of blows to the head.
Following the fight, MMA commentators and fellow UFC fighters — including Cormier’s longtime nemesis Jon Jones — took to Twitter to weigh in on what had transpired in the octagon.

Probably down 3-0 going into the 4th and his corner implored him to move his feet more. He adjusted, looked crisp and found his groove.
