Donald ”Cowboy” Cerrone är en av de som inte blev imponerad över Daniel Cormiers prestation mot Anderson Silva, något som Cerrone på ett klumpigt vis yttrade i en Q&A efter UFC 200. Nu har Cormier svarat på kritiken och han håller inte tillbaka på krutet.
Detta hade Daniel att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:
My reaction to Donald is shut up. Has he lost his mind? I mean, what was this guy talking about? Donald Cerrone, who made you the person… on what ground does he stand on to be able to say something like that to someone like me?
Who are you? Are you the greatest fighter of all times? Are you the guy that went out there and got stopped in the first round by Anthony Pettis, that kick in the side and fell down? Are you the guy that got dominated by dos Anjos in the first round, where you just fell down?
What are you doing? Who are you to say that you can say something like that? You beat a couple of guys and all of a sudden you walk around with that stupid cowboy hat… I’ll smack the side of your hat with that stupid hat. I’ll actually have Khabib do that for me. I’ll ask Khabib to smack his head.
It’s very disappointing, especially under those circumstances, with everything that happened in Orlando and everything, he uses that word and those terms. Man, nobody is exempt from just being like… you have to have some class, man. Hey, Donald, this isn’t the wild wild west where you can walk around with your stupid cowboy boots and your hat and spitting tobacco and just talking crazy. You have to have respect and carry yourself with some class.
Cormier besegrade Anderson via ett enhälligt domslut under helgens evenemang, efter att Silva hoppat in istället för Jon Jones då Jones testat positivt inför galan.
