Daniel Cormier has reacted to the latest EA Sports UFC 4 patch update. Addressing the same, Cormier expressed his gratitude towards the EA Sports UFC 4 video game team and his longtime friend and teammate Khabib Nurmagomedov.

The latest EA Sports UFC 4 video game patch has turned Daniel Cormier’s in-game character into a five-star fighter. The five-star fighters in the video game are meant to represent the very best fighters. Only the most elite fighters are generally accorded the honor of having the rating in the EA Sports UFC 4 video game.

Daniel Cormier has taken to his official Twitter account and put forth the following statement:

“So happy that @easportsufc 4 and my young brother @TeamKhabib gave my legend character a 5 rating. It always feels good when your work is appreciated! #amazing”

Daniel Cormier was thankful for his in-game character receiving a five-star rating, and also indicated that it’s good to have his work appreciated.

Cormier is the official ratings adjuster for EA Sports UFC 4, adjusting fighters’ ratings after every major event. However, since Cormier wasn’t permitted to alter his own character’s ratings, Khabib Nurmagomedov was brought in to do the same. Nurmagomedov recently presented Cormier with a star-studded medal at the UFC 260: Live Weigh-In Show.

Daniel Cormier is widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters and combat sportspersons of all time. Cormier is a former Olympic wrestler who went on to scale great heights of success in the sport of MMA.

He won several notable titles in the MMA realm, most notably the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix, the UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight titles. All of his titles add to several other accolades over the course of his long and storied combat sports career.
