Daniel Cormier refused to take the honor of calling one of the most obvious knockouts of all time.
The former double weight champion was commentary on UFC Vegas 109 on Saturday evening.
After the event started with head-scratching split decision that MMA fans left perplex, Daniel Cormier predicted a knockout just before it happened when Joselyne Edwards fought against Priscila Cachoeura.

Daniel Cormier Belt UFC Vegas 109 Ko
Cachoeira continued to charge forward and ran against her opponent counters.
After having eaten about seven of them, the commentators were worried about her future in the fight.
She has to keep her right hand up, stupid, “said Cormier co-commentator Dominick Cruz.
“That is one thing you learn, keep your back in hand when you throw.”
“I mean, it's just the left hook after the left hook. She's falling with a left hook if she doesn't stop [charging in]. “
Moments later, Edwards landed another left hook that had cachoeira on her feet.
The 29-year-old laid her down with a follow-up right hand before excluding the lights with annoying land attacks.
While Edwards walked away to celebrate, a dazed and confused cachoei was caught on the camera struggling to climb off the floor to get on a crutch.
“You don't have to be a genius. Seriously, come on, Priscila,” Cormier added.
“Please, I don't want to see anyone going,” those guys are very smart. “
“That's not smart. You knew what would happen if she didn't pick up her hand.”
UFC Vegas 109 weighing drama
On Friday, three hunters discovered naked and they still missed weight for UFC Vegas 109.
Edwards was the last hunter on the scale. The Bantamweightwoman, who had previously missed four times weight during her UFC career, was 0.25 pounds above the limit of 136 pounds for her fight with cachoeira.
Edwards and the other hunters who missed their mark had an hour to arrive before they were confronted with fines.
Fortunately they were all able to make weight when they hit the scales for the second time before their respective fights.
