UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier took to the octagon at “UFC 210” and waited for his perfect opportunity to strike, submitting Anthony Johnson in the second round of their main event fight. With the championship strapped around his waist, Cormier proceeded to put Jimi Manuwa and Jon Jones, both who were sitting cage side, on blast.
While Jones was able to shrug off these insults with ease, Manuwa was irate and has been waiting for his opportunity to fire back at the light heavyweight champion. Manuwa recently sat down with MMA Junkie and fired back his own set of insults Cormier’s way:
“To be fair, I respected Cormier. He’s the champion of the division. I think he’s quite a boring fighter; he’s not the most boring, but he’s wrestling, and it’s not that great for the fans. That’s probably why he’s not so popular with the fans. But I said that in an interview, and he took it like, ‘Oh, he said I’m a boring fighter.’”
“He came to me and called me out when I was cageside. I’m sitting cageside watching the fight. He felt the presence, and he knows deep down. Why would he come to me? I’m No. 4; I’m no one in the division. He knows. Talking about my Gucci jumpsuit – have you seen the way this guy dresses? He dresses like his mom dresses him. He’s a (expletive) big potato. This designer stuff won’t even fit him. He’s like a round ball.”
