Busy calling the action of UFC 317 over the weekend, Hall of Fame star Daniel Cormier was more than shocked upon his return home.
Forming a three-man booth in Las Vegas, Cormier, alongside veteran caller Joe Rogan and play-by-play lead Jon Anik, was on hand for the promotion’s annual International Fight Week card.
Gushing over Ilia Topuria following his stunning title assault against Charles Oliveira, Cormier has been a staple when it comes to calling the Spaniard’s stunning rise in the Octagon.
Surprised with the manner in which the ex-featherweight star dispatched Oliveira inside just three minutes, Cormier would unfortunately suffer his own downfall upon his return to San Jose following the pay-per-view card in ‘Sin City’.
Daniel Cormier victim of theft as truck stolen from San Jose airport
Returning to his residency in California, long-time Octagon caller, Cormier was shocked to learn his brand-new truck had been stolen from overnight parking in San Jose.
Purchasing the new vehicle just days prior, Cormier had ditched his prior vehicle as a result — after a seven-year spell behind the same wheel.
“Somebody stole my truck at the San Jose Airport,” Cormier said on social media.
“Unbelievable,” he added.
Contacting the San Jose police department for assistance — having left the truck in overnight parking since travelling to Las Vegas on Thursday, Cormier was visibly distraught at his findings — or lack thereof.
A popular figure in the state, Cormier plied his trade at American Kickboxing Academy throughout his career.
And during his Octagon run, added two more light heavyweight and heavyweight crowns to the facility’s mantle.

And while not reunited with his four wheels just yet, Cormier is not giving up hope.
Instructing police to launch an investigation into the robbery, Cormier claimed the department was “all over” the incident to relocate the vehicle.
“This is some real bull—, man!” Cormier wrote on social media. “Thank you to the San Jose PD who are all over this s—!”
To make things worse for the Lafayette favorite, he spent some considerable time looking for the vehicle in the lot — from which it had been stolen three days prior.
