Two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier called out former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. However, Lesnar has to sit out the final six months of his suspension following a failed drug test from back at UFC 200. Consequently, Cormier has revealed an interest in potentially defending his light heavyweight title before taking on the WWE superstar.
Cormier has revealed no interest in Alexander Gustafsson and seemingly no interest in the likes of Glover Teixeira or Alexander Volkov. With that in mind, Corey Anderson recently took to Twitter to call out D.C.
“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”
Yo @dc_mma ,

I'll never "call you out" out of respect. But I'm 100% down to fight you. #UFC @ufc #letsdoit— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) July 24, 2018
To many fight fans’ surprise, Cormier accepted the call out.
“Ok , sure just find out when and where. I’ll be there. I always am!”

Fellow light heavyweight Ilir Latifi went on to dish out a heated message to Daniel Cormier over ignoring his call out and accepting Anderson’s.
“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!”
Now Daniel Cormier has fired back with a response. Check it out below.
“I’m not avoiding you can get it to. All of y’all. Tell me when and where bruh. I’ll come and whip ya”
