Donald Cerrone var inte imponerad över Daniel Cormiers insats på UFC 200, han kritiserade mästaren offentligt och olämpligt. Nu hugger Cormier tillbaka.
Daniel Cormier (18-1) fick möta en otränad Anderson Silva (33-8), som hoppade in med bara några få dagars varsel. Cormier vann matchen, men många ansåg att han använde en feg taktik.
En av hans kritiker var Donald Cerrone (30-7), som ansåg att Cormier ”fightades som en bög”.
På The MMA Hour kommenterade Cormier uttalandet, genom att såga Cerrone rejält.
”My reaction to Donald is ’Shut up’. Has he lost his mind? I mean, what was this guy talking about? On what ground does he stand on to be able to say something like that to someone like me?
If he had a problem with the way I performed, he could have told me in the back that day. But to do it publicly? Who are you? Aren’t you the guy that went out there and got stopped in the first round by Anthony Pettis, that got kicked in the side and fell down? Aren’t you the guy that got dominated by dos Anjos in the first round, where you just fell down?”
Cormier ifrågasatte även Cerrones ordval, som han menade var extra osmakligt med tanke på hatbrottsattentatet i Orlando förra månaden.
”It’s very disappointing, especially under those circumstances, with everything that happened in Orlando and everything, he uses that word and those terms.
Hey, Donald, this isn’t the wild wild west where you can walk around with your stupid cowboy boots and your hat and spitting tobacco and just talking crazy. You have to have respect and carry yourself with some class.”
Borde Cerrone ha framfört kritiken mellan två ögon, eller är Cormier onödigt snarstucken?
