Daniel Cormier slams ‘Moron’ UFC 308 fighter for harshly criticizing his commentary

Daniel Cormier issues fiery response to Rinat Fakhretdinov’s harsh remarks

Cormier was asked about Fakhretdinov’s post-fight comments during a recent Q+A session ahead of UFC Edmonton.

“I don’t know what this dude was talking about,” Cormier said of Fakhretdinov. “Listen, bro, he lost. I don’t care how many times he complains. These fighters, they go and they fight, and it was so clear that [Fakhretdinov] lost the fight. He gets a microphone and he goes and sticks his foot in his mouth…

“That’s the problem, he’s a moron, and he just needs to recognize that he lost. Just take [the criticism], you got gifted a win. Take it and keep your head tucked down until you fight somebody next time!”

As of this writing, Fakhretdinov hasn’t responded to Cormier’s comments.

Fakhretdinov remains unbeaten in his UFC tenure with the victory at UFC 308. Before UFC 308, Fakhretdinov defeated the likes of Bryan Battle, Kevin Lee, and Nicolas Dalby.

Cormier will be on the call this weekend at UFC Fight Night: Edmonton, featuring a flyweight headliner between Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi.
