Earlier this week, McGregor aimed a dig at the former light heavyweight and heavyweight champion in a deleted tweet, making a comment about Cormier’s weight. Conor McGregor recently took a sharp jab at DC’s work ethic and accused Cormier of commentating on his UFC 264 fight with Dustin Poirier while intoxicated.
The Dublin native posted a picture of himself throwing a leg kick at Dustin Poirier during their trilogy fight with the caption:
The implication here is that Conor McGregor had landed the kicks correctly. According to the Irishman, Daniel Cormier provided an incorrect narration of the events in his commentary by calling it a ‘clean check’ by Dustin Poirier.
In response, Daniel Cormier promised to fire back on his ESPN podcast with Ryan Clark, DC&RC.
In the podcast, Daniel Cormier took Conor McGregor’s claim apart by revisiting stills of ‘Notorious’ trying to land kicks on Dustin Poirier and pointing out how they were not delivered correctly.
Cormier also mentioned the kick that allegedly broke Conor McGregor’s leg, although DC mistakenly said ‘arm’ in the podcast.
The recent back-and-forth between Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier started when the latter criticized the former for his distasteful tweets about Khabib Nurmagomedov’s late father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, who passed away last year due to COVID-19. Daniel Cormier and Khabib Nurmagomedov are close friends and former training partners.
Daniel Cormier to Conor McGregor: “Stop worrying about me!”
Daniel Cormier ended his response by asking Conor McGregor to worry about his own defeats and potential future opponents and not about him since there is absolutely no possibility of them ever facing off inside the octagon.
In response, the Irishman posted yet another series of now-deleted tweets, accusing Daniel Cormier of showing up at UFC media events drunk and calling him ‘disgraceful.’
