Daniel Cormier has defended his 205-pound title with a dominating performance over Volkan Oezdemir in the co-main event of UFC 220. Cormier raised his hands in triumph as UFC President Dana White wrapped the title belt around his waist. Cormier was awarded the title after Jon Jones was stripped of his light heavyweight championship when he failed his latest doping test. Cormier nearly put away Oezdemir in the first round with a choke until there was a late save by the bell. But Cormier pinned Oezdemir against the canvas early in the second and finished him off with a series of punches to the face.
