Watching dear friend Cormier go down was a ‘bittersweet’ experience for Bhullar
Watching his dear friend Cormier lose the UFC heavyweight title to Stipe Miocic at UFC 241 was difficult for him, to say the least.
DC’s swansong
While Cormier’s UFC 241 fight did not go according to plan, Cormier did manage to beat the reigning UFC heavyweight champion Miocic when the pair met for the first time in July 2018, when Cormier stunned the heavyweight champ with a first-round knockout.
Tied at one win each, Cormier and Miocic are expected to meet in a tie-breaking trilogy fight sometime next year. The fight will also serve as Cormier’s swansong inside the Octagon.
Initially, it was believed that Cormier’s previous fight against Stipe would be his last, but following the disappointing loss, he decided to delay his retirement to finish the trilogy with ‘The Silencer’.
Bhullar happy to see DC stick around for one last fight
Bhullar backed his friend’s decision to hang around for one more fight and believes that as an athlete, one would always want to go out with their arm raised in victory and not otherwise.
Predictions for the outcome of the rubber match
Arjan Bhullar believes that the final fight in the Cormier vs. Stipe trilogy will result in a sweet victory for DC, allowing the former UFC Champion to get the proper send-off which he thoroughly deserves.
Although he will be rooting for his friend, Bhullar does next expect Cormier to have a field day inside the Octagon against Stipe. He feels that it will be a closely contested fight, which Cormier will clinch, potentially by late stoppage.
Who do you think will win the rubber match between Stipe and DC?
