Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier was obviously ecstatic to see his good friend and training partner Khabib Nurmagomedov emerge victorious at UFC 254.<\/p>\n
The recently retired former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, Cormier, was in the commentary booth for today’s highly anticipated Khabib vs. Gaethje main event.<\/p>\n
Many fans wondered if ‘DC’ would be able to keep his clear favoritism towards Khabib in check for the UFC 254 main event. While Cormier appeared to remain professional despite ‘The Eagle’ emerging victorious in sensation fashion, some fans were still not happy with his analysis.<\/p>\n
Hours after Khabib Nurmagomedov put Justin Gaethje to sleep in the main event of UFC 254, and while during the midst of a Jon Jones GOAT rant<\/a>, a fight fan took aim at Daniel Cormier for being blatantly unfair to ‘Bones’.<\/p>\n “I Love Daniel Cormier <\/span>and his commentating, but he loves Khabib Nurmagomedov and hates Jon Jones. All he could say all PPV today was how Khabib was the perfect fighter. He would never say anything close to that about Jones.” – Wrote the fan on Twitter<\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Cormier and Jones obviously have a storied history having met twice in the past at light heavyweight. In both of those occasions it was ‘Bones’ who emerged victorious much to the dismay of ‘DC’.<\/p>\n Scott’s remarks clearly caught the attention of Cormier who promptly defended his analysis with the following explanation, one which is sure to infuriate Jon Jones.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t true,when Jones fought OSP I showered him with praise. I actually always say what a great fighter he is. Every major sport eliminates athletes from the GOAT conversation with bad test. Why is the UFC different. I believe Khabib is the best. IMO , you don\u2019t have 2 agree https:\/\/t.co\/QM9Vl3T7PQ<\/a><\/p>\n — Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) October 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
