Could the MMA gods be mad at UFC 226?
Following the withdrawal of Max Holloway from his title fight, Daniel Cormier appeared to hurt himself exiting the stage during the event's presser Thursday ahead of his superfight with heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.
Cormier tripped over and was down for several seconds before being helped up by UFC president Dana White and limping off.
The light heavyweight champion appeared to be fine during the staredown with Miocic, and TMZ Sports' Evan Rosenblum reported that a UFC rep told him Cormier was not injured.
