Daniel Cormier is one of the most polarizing figures in the UFC commentary booth. Even after spending more than 6 years in the UFC commentary team, ‘DC’ gets a lot of criticism from the fans. Much of these are targeted toward him, favoring one fighter more than the other. However, he has been getting much of that criticism owing to the return of Jon Jones.

Recently, the UFC commentator is accused of being bitter in the commentary booth during Jones’ fight. The former UFC double champion has responded to the tweet with one of his own.
