😳 Daniel Cormier says it was an INEXPERIENCED doctor that wanted to stop the fight, praises Marc Goddard for letting it continue
“Inexperienced doctor, experienced referee that said ‘no it can’t end like this.’ You gotta let em fight
Ilia wanted to fight, Justin wanted to fight and it turned out the way it did.”

Ok so this one’s a bit special! It’s still kind of all a little surreal and will remain so for quite a while I’m sure, I’m trying to wrap my head around it. I have stood inside some of the most iconic arenas the world over with some amazing settings, crowds and some of the most unforgettable moment’s in UFC history.
If you would have told me 25 years ago that I’d be stood in the Octagon on the White House lawn refereeing a UFC World title I’d have laughed you out of the way, but here we are.
This crazy sport, this journey that has changed my life and gifted me so much still amazes me and it always will, but today tops the lot. The physical set up, logistics & magnitude of the event itself and “The Claw” was magical. The whole thing, start to finish, the set up, the location - it was incredible, truly incredible.
I feel that I could go down a rabbit hole and try to put into words just how amazing it was, how it felt and how to put these things into perspective but that seems so insurmountable and I can’t, so I won’t.
I’m just gonna have to leave it as my overwhelming thanks & gratitude to be here, with the honour, privilege and a huge sense of pride to witness a true once in a lifetime event. Wow.
