Daniel Cormier föll tungt under helgens UFC 241, då han besegrades av Stipe Miocic och därmed förlorade sin tungviktstitel. Det var i den fjärde ronden som Miocic kunde avsluta ”DC” via brutal TKO efter att ha träffat flera hårda kroppsslag på den numera tidigare mästaren.

Efter matchen valde UFC-experten Joe Rogan att intervjua sin nära vän Cormier – trots att han flera gånger tidigare lovat att aldrig mera intervjua fighters som precis förlorat via knockout.
Detta har ifrågasatts av många, och Rogan väljer nu att svara på kritiken via ett inlägg på sitt Instagram-konto.
Läs Rogans förklaring i sin helhet nedan:
”Some people were confused as to why I interviewed DC after the fight because I’ve publicly stated that I don’t think it’s a good idea to interview fighters after they’ve been KO’ed. I think most of what happened to DC was those brutal body shots, and although Stipe dropped him with head shots he was never out cold, and seemed clear headed after he stood up and the results were announced to the crowd and Stipe got the belt given to him,” skriver Rogan.
”The UFC asked for an interview, and I asked DC if he was ok with it, and he said, Yes. I think interviewing fighters after a brutal loss is kinda sketchy, but I was also thinking that it’s possible that this may be the last time we see DC in the octagon. I love DC, and I would never want to put him in a bad position, but I made a judgment call and felt this would be alright. Whatever he decides to do from here on out the man is a future hall of famer and one of the best to ever do it. It will be very interesting to see what he decides to do from here out,” avslutar UFC-experten.
