Daniel Cormier made it look easy at UFC 230. The wrestler got manhandled Derrick Lewis en route to making his first Heavyweight Title defense. Cormier took down Lewis any time he wanted to, softened him up with punches and submitted him with ease in the second round.
Fighters took to social media to react to Cormier’s impressive work.
Man… @dc_mma is hard to deny. Congrats to the champ champ #ufc330

DC smiling ’cause he still has the Brock fight in his pocket, where he’ll make a ton of cash. #ufc230 pic.twitter.com/poDzevwuJ0

Well that was hella predictable but let’s give Lewis credit for stepping up to save this card. Dc is on another level, hope to see him rematch Jones one last time before he retires. #UFC230

Brock’s gonna get starched even quicker than @Thebeast_ufc did ——

First to hold both titles while defending them both at the same time. Can’t deny goat status now IMO. Congrats @dc_mma, you’re the man.#champchamp #kingofthegrind
