Two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier has been receiving a series of call outs ever since earning his second division title. D.C. called out Brock Lesnar for a fight, but Lesnar will have to undergo six months of suspension for his latest drug test.
Beyond that, Cormier has revealed that he seemingly has no interest in fighting Alexander Gustafsson or many of the other contenders within the light heavyweight division. While D.C. failed to accept a fight offer from Ilir Latifi, the two-division champion recently accepted a fight offer from Corey Anderson.
“Yo @dc_mma , They said a win over me and Glover would earn a title shot..I beat em, media said you wanted Shogun and he lost, you told Gus off, and you already fought Volkan.. I’ll never ‘call you out’ out of respect. But I’m 100% down to fight you. #UFC @ufc #letsdoit”

Now Ilir Laftifi has come forward with a heated message for Cormier. Check it out below.
“You don’t answer me after my call outs, but you answer Corey?
I respected you for wanting money fights as your last fights, but not easier fights. A champ don’t act like that.
“You don’t want to fight me? Because you know it’s going to be hard.
Don’t go out like a coward champ. Pride lives with you after your career ends. I have won 5 out of my last 6 with 3 finishes in the first round, Corey has 3 wins in his last 6 with 1 finish in his 11 last fights.
Corey is not a money fight, just an easier fight than me.
“@dc_mma Congrats to your WWE career. You have to respect guys that fight the best as champs. So @jonnybones, when you get back, let’s do it!”
