Justin Gaethje has hilariously responded after Daniel Cormier sought clarification from the No.2-ranked UFC lightweight contender about biased commentary accusations at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi.
Gaethje called out Cormier, who was on commentary duty at Fight Island on October 30th, and told him not to be biased towards his American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) teammate Islam Makhachev.
Speaking to 'The Highlight' during a golf session, 'DC' asked him why he was mad at the former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion's commentary. The duo were also joined by MMA journalist Brett Okamoto and another friend.
"You know why. Why wouldn't I be [mad at you]? Because you were out of line," quipped Gaethje.
