Ahead of his appearance at UFC 269, Daniel Cormier’s commentary skills have been questioned. His fellow commentator, Dominick Cruz, said that ‘DC’ does not do his homework well.
Cormier, of course, confronted Cruz about his public statement. In a recent video on Cormier’s channel, both the athletes were seen engaging in some friendly banter. While Cormier questioned Cruz’s public statement, the latter tried to justify what he said. Nevertheless, both share a great bond and seem unbothered by the whole fiasco. It looks like Cormier did not take offense after all.

Former UFC fighter, Henry Cejudo, however, came to Cormier’s defense and had a few words of his own to say. He took to Twitter and wrote, “Shut your damn mouth Dominick Snooze. You must’ve not done your homework when I slept you. Did you forget about my Olympic gold medal then? Even Keith Peterson can’t save you from your boring a** commentary. There’s a reason you’re on the prelims!”
