He discussed the death threats he received on a recent episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/05\/ufc-francis-ngannou-coach-responds-death-threats-dewey-cooper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAjunkie Radio.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI responded to every single one of them \u2013 \u2018Fuck you, I\u2019m at One Kick\u2019s Gym on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,&#8217;\u201d Cooper said (transcribed by Steven Marrocco for <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/05\/ufc-francis-ngannou-coach-responds-death-threats-dewey-cooper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAjunkie<\/a>. \u201c\u2018I\u2019m at Mayweather\u2019s gym on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays.
