Active fighters pick on Daniel Cormier during the Fight Week of PPVs and Fight Nights. Justin Gaethje slapped his hand, and Alex Pereira landed a leg kick and a takedown. His eating habits and big belly were once called out by Islam Makhachev. Recently, it came to light when DC commentated on a DWCS fight. Munching while commentating caught the attention of Conor McGregor and the fans.
Bogdan Grad earned a contract for a split-decision win over Michael Aswell (9-1) in the penultimate fight of Tuesday’s Contender Series 69. The match saw the fighters plummet each other in an all-out war at the Apex. However, Daniel ‘DC’ Cormier, living to his beats, was very audible over the mic munching away! What transpired was quite a hilarious series of sounds.
Look at that cut now, …Oh my god! …[smacks lips over mic]…It got way worse [talks with mouth full]…[chewing] What an absolute war[smacks lips]! These guys are at each other's face. [Chewing]…Grad trying to get momentum, …to get forward. This is what the show is about guys.Daniel ‘DC’ Cormier over the Live commentary mic at Contender Series 69; 🎥: @HappyPunch on X
What is even funnier is that none of his other commentating buddies speak a word during the sequence of the already low-packed Apex. Thus making the food sound just that more audible! The Olympic wrestler and veteran is prone to behind-scene gimmicks and funny tantrums, However, this just adds a new layer of fun all over it.
In a since-deleted tweet, even Conor McGregor has to emote over the matter. ‘DC’ has always been funny. But it’s a whole other issue when even ‘Notorious’ considers someone’s food habits notorious enough. As such, the matter had gone quite viral.
Fight fans react to Daniel Cormier eating during live commentary
Contender series have their fanbase and hardcore following for the UFC hopefuls. Torrez Finney, for example, defeated Cam Rowston via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at Contender Series 68 but could not acquire a contract. He now has a third go to try his luck. Meanwhile, Lone’er Kavanagh went viral at DWCS 67 with his dominant KO, setting the tone for the event.
Meanwhile, hopeful Danni “Mac” McCormack went viral elsewhere for garnering support from the OG ‘Mac’ – Conor McGregor. The Irishman threw his weight behind the Team SBG Ireland teammate when the UFC prioritized on her lack of stoppage at ‘Road to UFC’. It’s thus common for such UFC hopefuls to cut a bloody swathe and go viral through their hard toil. Instead, this week, it’s Daniel Cormier who takes the cake, literally! Here’s what fans and Conor McGregor think of it.
It wasn’t just Conor McGregor; former Fury FC pro fighter and 145-pound standout Aswell (@AswellMichael), whose fight sequence it was, also commented on the matter. Yet another prominent reaction (@StahpAndStare) quipped “Put big boy on a diet.“
Cormier has long had a passive rivalry of having the most “Dad-energy” with UFC phenom and hard-hitter Max Holloway. Even close friend Islam Makhachev has often quipped about his flab, lack of training, or eating habits. Fans have unanimously taken a mickey out of ‘DC’ on similar lines. All in all, it adds quite a flavor to fight commentary; all puns intended.
