The Senate Concurrent Resolution commends Daniel Cormier for his induction into the 2024 class of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Cormier, a native of Lafayette, Louisiana, is celebrated for his exceptional achievements in wrestling and mixed martial arts. His athletic career began at Northside High School, where he earned three consecutive state titles and later achieved national recognition with a bronze medal in the World Championships. Cormier's success continued at the collegiate level, where he maintained an undefeated record and earned All-America honors, followed by a remarkable career in freestyle wrestling, securing multiple gold medals and representing the U.S. in the Olympics.

Transitioning to mixed martial arts, Cormier made a significant impact in Strikeforce and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he became the second fighter to hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously. His legacy is further solidified by his induction into various halls of fame and his role as a combat sports analyst for ESPN. The resolution highlights Cormier's journey from humble beginnings to becoming a source of inspiration for athletes and fans, and it calls for a copy of the resolution to be transmitted to him.
