What happened: MMA analyst Sean Sheehan labeled former two-division champion Daniel Cormier a 'Hall Of Very Good' fighter who would lose to today's top contenders in his prime. Sheehan answered Ben Davis' assertion that a prime Cormier would defeat 98% of active light heavyweights and heavyweights.

Why it matters: Cormier's career resume remains a recurring benchmark in cross-era comparisons at 205 and 265 pounds, where his losses came against Jon Jones, who remains central to UFC GOAT debates, and Stipe Miocic. Evaluating past champions against modern rosters hinges on whether elite contemporary skill sets outweigh historical title defenses.

What to watch: Active light heavyweight and heavyweight contenders continue their 2026 campaigns following UFC 333 at Etihad Arena, where Alexander Volkov and Dominick Reyes recorded finishes in those two divisions.
