Daniel Cormier is highly acclaimed for being an entertaining presence in the octagon in addition to being a devastating fighter. While he has been giving a hard time to his rivals inside the cage, outside of it, Cormier is a humble individual.

While DC has often pranked his fellow teammates, including the likes of Khabib and coach Javier Mendez, he pulled another hilarious gag when Islam Makhachev wanted to have some food from DC’s platter.

The duo went inside the restaurant and sat on the same table. While DC seemingly ordered a fish grilled rice for himself, Makhachev did not get himself one. However, the Dagestani clearly wanted to share some from DC.

As soon as DC started to indulge in his delectable meal, Makhachev made his intentions clear and took a pass at. Shockingly, DC stopped him midway.

“Not this one, this is my food. No, this is mine, this is mine,” said Cormier.

However, by the end, DC offered Makhachev a spoon of rice, grilled fish, and corn to showcase that he believes in sharing. No wonder the person filming the whole incident broke out into laughter.

DC vs Miocic–UFC 252

Amid all the rigmarole, the headliner of UFC 252 continues to attract a lot of attention.

Cormier is slated to challenge Miocic for the Heavyweight gold to put a quell to their heavyweight animosity, once and for all. Apart from that, the winner would also earn the moniker of ‘The Greatest Heavyweight Ever’ in UFC.

It is interesting to note that DC and Stipe have gone toe to toe on two different occasions, with each fighter emerging victorious once. Therefore, it’s all or nothing when it comes to bringing this trilogy saga to an end.

UFC 252 is going to set the record straight at the APEX Center in Las Vegas on August 15.

Since the octagon would be 25 feet, instead of 30, DC would slightly enjoy the advantage of being a wrestler. He could easily close the gaps to seal the victory in his favor.

However, Stipe’s venomous strikes can inflict a lot of damage on Cormier and his claim to the throne. That said, the only way to settle the feud is to witness the heavyweight gladiators go all in inside the cage.
