Prior to the fight, Cormier had a bit of a <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/daniel-cormier\/daniel-cormier-explains-ufc-210-weight-cut-difficult\/\">difficult<\/a> weight cut. That rough cut led to the then light-heavyweight champion gripping a towel on the scale to make weight.<\/p>\n<p>Many quickly noted at the time that grabbing the towel is cheating to make weight, as it cheats the scale. For years, Cormier denied that the towel trick did anything, or that he didn&#8217;t even grab the towel. However, last night during his UFC Hall of Fame induction, he finally <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/daniel-cormier-apologizes-to-rumble-johnson-during-ufc-hall-of-fame-speech-i-think-i-may-have-grabbed-the-towel-in-buffalo\/\">admitted<\/a> he grabbed the towel. Cormier stated:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI want to tell you something because I feel like right now is the time to be completely transparent. I think I may have grabbed the towel in Buffalo. Rumble, I\u2019m sorry my guy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The apology garnered a bit of a laugh from fans, as everyone already knew Daniel Cormier had grabbed the towel.
