Daniel Cormier Believes UFC’s ‘Champ-Champ’ Era Is “Coming to an End”

Cormier pointed to UFC 322, where Islam Makhachev and Zhang Weili both vacated belts to chase titles in higher divisions, as proof the simultaneous double-champ days are done. “When Ilia gave up his belt, you sensed it,” DC said. “Now, seeing Weili do it…that era is over.” He noted that 'Champ-Champ' like Conor McGregor, Cejudo, and Nunes may be the last of their kind.
