Daniel Cormier shares three-word reaction to Alex Pereira's response to 'DC' being concerned about 'Poatan's' fight prep ahead of UFC 313

Daniel Cormier earlier expressed concern for Alex Pereira, accusing him of not training at his best for his fight against Magomed Ankalaev. However, the light heavyweight kingpin dismissed these doubts and assured the UFC Hall of Famer that he is having a great camp. Recently, ‘DC’ reacted to ‘Poatan’s' response.

Pereira will put his light heavyweight belt on the line for the fourth time at UFC 313 against No. 1 contender Ankalaev on March 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

Ahead of the highly anticipated fight, the Brazilian was seen at various events, raising questions about his preparation. He was present at UFC 312 to corner Sean Strickland and was recently spotted attending a Drake concert.

Cormier, in a video, expressed concern over Pereira’s dedication to training for Ankalaev, as many believe the Russian poses the biggest threat to the reigning light heavyweight champion.

In response, a few days ago, Pereira shared training footage, assuring the former two-division champion that he is fully dedicated to preparing for UFC 313 and that there is no reason to worry.

ESPN MMA shared the entire situation on their Instagram handle, which evoked a reaction from Cormier. He responded with a three-word comment, writing:

"Ok good boys!"
