Jimi ”Posterboy” Manuwa tycker inte om mästaren i lätt tungvikt Daniel ”DC” Cormier. Efter Cormiers utspel mot Jon ”Bones” Jones höjer Manuwa nu rösten mot Cormier.
Manuwa möter stjärnskottet Volkan Oezdemir på UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones 2.
Jimi Manuwa dissar Daniel Cormier
Manuwa hade följande att säga om Cormier (via Kimura):
”F**k Daniel Cormier. He’s a f**king fat wrestler and I don’t really give a s**t what he says. Everyone says he’s a nice guy but I don’t really like him. He seems to me like a bully and I don’t like bullies. He’s got the belt, he’s a great fighter and everything. I respect him for that but as a person I don’t really like him. I don’t like his attitude towards other fighters. He kind of looks down on people and stuff. So I don’t really respect him and I don’t believe he will get out of round two with me.”
Manuwa tycker att Anthony ”Rumble” Johnson gjorde ett stort misstag i sin senaste match mot Cormier, något han tror att Johnson själv är väl medveten om.
“I think his last fight with [Anthony] ‘Rumble’ Johnson, Rumble let him off lightly. I believe that Rumble made huge mistakes in that fight and he probably knows it himself. That’s not the way to fight a wrestler or someone like Daniel Cormier. I won’t be making those mistakes against Cormier if I fight him. So f**k Daniel Cormier and for now I’m just focused on Volkan and we’ll cross that bridge after I beat Volkan Oezdemir.”
Han är snabb med att påpeka att han inte underskattar Oezdemir och att hans fulla fokus ligger på den unga schweizaren.
“It’s been said (att Manuwa kan hoppa in om någon blir skadad i huvudmatchen) but my focus has been fully on Volkan Oezdemir. I’m so focused on him, I think about him every day. I think about him in training. I think about him when I’m tired. I’m fully focused on him. But to me, I don’t see names, I just see bodies. I’ve just got an opponent and I’m training for him. Whether it be Volkan Oezdemir, whether it be Daniel Cormier, whether it be Jon Jones, whoever. I’ve just got an opponent and I’m training for him. So it doesn’t really matter who I’m fighting.”
Daniel Cormier svarar
Det var ingen fantastisk comeback men Manuwas känslor verkar inte vara besvarade av mästaren Cormier.
