Daniel Cormier refused to take credit for calling one of the most obvious knockouts of all time.
The former dual-weight champion was on commentary duty at UFC Vegas 109 on Saturday night.
After the event kicked off with head-scratching split decision that left MMA fans perplexed, Daniel Cormier predicted a knockout moments before it happened when Joselyne Edwards fought Priscila Cachoeira.
The bantamweight duo banged it out during a highly entertaining 144-second fight at the UFC APEX.

Daniel Cormier calls UFC Vegas 109 KO
Cachoeira kept charging forward and running into left-hand counters from her opponent.
After eating about seven of them, the commentators became concerned for her future in the fight.
“She’s gotta keep her right hand up, Dom,” Cormier told co-commentator Dominick Cruz.
“That’s one thing you learn, keep your back hand up when you’re throwing.
“I mean, it’s just left hook after left hook. She’s going to get dropped with a left hook if she doesn’t stop [charging in].”
Moments later, Edwards landed another left hook that had Cachoeira out on her feet. The 29-year-old put her down with a follow-up right hand before shutting out the lights with nasty ground strikes.
As Edwards walked away to celebrate, a dazed and confused Cachoeira was caught on camera struggling to climb off the floor to get on a stool.
“You don’t have to be a genius. Seriously, come on, Priscila,” Cormier added.
“Please, I don’t wanna see anybody going, ‘Those guys are very smart’.
“That’s not smart. You knew what was going to happen if she didn’t pick her hand up.”
UFC Vegas 109 weigh-in drama
On Friday, three fighters stripped naked and still missed weight ahead of UFC Vegas 109.
Edwards was the last fighter on the scale. The bantamweight star, who had previously missed weight four times during her UFC career, was 0.25lbs over the 136lb limit for her fight with Cachoeira.
Edwards and the other fighters who missed their mark had one hour to make weight before facing fines.
Thankfully, they were all able to make weight when they hit the scales for second time ahead of their respective fights.
