After the fight, Joe Rogan asked Cormier if he was going to fight again but DC shot him down because he says he’s “only interested in fighting for titles” but doesn’t imagine he’s going to get a title shot any time soon.

Cormier: I’m only interested in fighting for titles. I don’t foresee I will be fighting for a title … that will be it for me.
