Daniel Cormier won the vacant light heavyweight title as he submitted Anthony Johnson back in May 2015. He then defended the title via a razor-thin split decision against Alexander Gustafsson, and stoppage wins against Anthony Johnson and Volkan Oezdemir.

In July 2018 Cormier became a two-division UFC champion as he defeated heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.
