This past weekend at UFC 210, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier successfully defended his light heavyweight title for the second time<\/a> as he submitted light heavyweight knockout artist Anthony Johnson in the second round. <\/p>\n

Following the fight, Cormier took some shots at the #4 ranked light heavyweight in the world, Jimi Manuwa, something that didn’t sit too well with the streaking light heavyweight contender.<\/p>\n

Jimi Manuwa spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Daniel<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy didn\u2019t he come over himself? He was about 10 feet away from me,\u201d Manuwa said. \u201cHe\u2019s hiding behind his team. And I told him, \u2018Listen, this ain\u2019t no MMA (expletive) sports business. I get down for real. You can\u2019t do this big brother thing with me. I don\u2019t suffer none of that.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCormier\u2019s probably the first person that I\u2019ve kind of had something with,\u201d Manuwa said. \u201cTo be fair, I respected Cormier. He\u2019s the champion of the division. I think he\u2019s quite a boring fighter; he\u2019s not the most boring, but he\u2019s wrestling, and it\u2019s not that great for the fans. That\u2019s probably why he\u2019s not so popular with the fans. But I said that in an interview, and he took it like, \u2018Oh, he said I\u2019m a boring fighter.\u2019 He came to me and called me out when I was cageside.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Cormier is of course the light heavyweight champion, Manuwa has proved that he belongs alongside the elite of the elite at 205 pounds as he has picked up back to back knockout wins over Ovince Saint Preux, and most recently Corey Anderson. The way Manuwa sees it, Cormier knows he’s a threat:<\/p>\n

\"Jimi<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he felt the presence,\u201d Manuwa said. \u201cThat\u2019s why he forced himself to come to me. He\u2019s the champion, and he came to me. He\u2019s like, \u2018Do you want to fight?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Why do you think I\u2019m here?\u2019 I\u2019m sitting cageside watching the fight. He felt the presence, and he knows deep down. Why would he come to me? I\u2019m No. 4; I\u2019m no one in the division. He knows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe knows I\u2019ll break the rest of his face, as well,\u201d Manuwa said. \u201cI swear.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
