Daniel Cormier has become one of the prominent names of MMA in recent years. Cormier has accomplished a lot during his career at the UFC and has contributed equally to the sport by continuing to comment at the UFC. DC started his professional MMA career in 2009 after a very successful wrestling career. DC made his UFC debut in 2013 and went on to become a two-division champion in the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions. Cormier is one of only 4 fighters to have 2 division titles at the same time in the UFC.
DC retired from MMA in 2020 after losing to Stipe Miocic and has been working as a UFC commentator ever since. DC has often been accused of commentary bias, and many fans and MMA fighters have accused him of being biased towards a fighter during a fight. But DC has denied these allegations and believes it’s doing a hard job that not many people can do.
Daniel Cormier drew backlash from fans in a recent interview in which he cleared his name and denied allegations of commentary bias. Fans claimed that DC wasn’t a good commentator and shouldn’t even be on the comment panel. One fan even claimed that UFC president Dana White asked commentators to brag about a particular fighter, which is why the panel was biased.
