Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier initially did not cope well with the second defeat to the arch-rival Jon Jones, at UFC 214 last Saturday (29). After being hit with a high kick and more punches and elbows on the ground, DC was angry with the referee, as he didn't know he had been knocked out. And new images show the North American's reactions upon waking up after being erased by “Bones”.

Bewildered and confused by the outcome of the fight, Cormier refuses to comply with the requests of the stewards, who want him to sit on a bench to fully regain consciousness. DC walks around the Octagon without knowing what is happening and confronts “Big” John McCarthy at times, irritated with the referee for the interruption, which he deemed premature. Shortly afterwards, the former champion would see a replay of the sequence that knocked him out on the big screen. At this moment, he starts to cry and, inconsolable, leans on his coaches, including the Brazilian Leo Vieira, responsible for the North American's jiu-jitsu.
Before that, however, Cormier seems angry, even though he doesn't know how he was knocked out, and he needs UFC president, Dana White, to tell him how the defeat to him happened. Jon Jones. Despite the initial irritation, DC apologized to referee John McCarthy, congratulated Jones on the triumph and thanked Ultimate and White for the opportunity.
