UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier names MMA's five most significant people of 2024

UFC Hall of Famer and commentator Daniel Cormier thinks there have been a number of key players in making MMA what it was over the past 12 months.

The former two-division UFC champion was cageside in his color commentator role for 26 of the 42 fight cards put on by the promotion in 2024. From that position he witnessed what happened inside the octagon as well as anyone. Outside of it, he monitors the sport closely through his various roles as an analyst, podcast host and more.

With the year coming to an end, Cormier joined MMA Junkie to rank his top five most significant people in MMA from 2024, with an arguable snub of MMA Junkie’s 2024 Fighter of the Year winner.
