With retirement around the corner, who should DC fight before walking away for good?

Cormier is a former Olympic wrestler who has been competing his whole life.

With a little more then a decade in the game, Cormier has managed to be the Strikeforce heavyweight champion, the UFC lightheavyweight champion, and after knocking out Stipe Mioic, became the second champ champ in UFC history.
