Daniel Cormier calls out American Air
Cormier’s initial tweet hit social media like a flying knee. He expressed his dismay at having his seat given away and being met with an apparent wall of silence from an unresponsive staff member named Jose Chavez.
I am literally in the worst experience. It’s unreal how horrific @AmericanAir staff at SFO is behaving right now. I show up to my flight to find out my seat has been given away. If that isn’t enough this man Jose Chavez won’t even speak to me. This dude walks away from me as I am…

Laura Sanko & fans react to this tweet
Meanwhile, Laura Sanko stepped into the octagon of frustration, sharing her own American Air horror story. She recounted a late-night cancellation and subsequent rebooking that left her catching an earlier flight, unknowingly leaving her stranded at the baggage cutoff point.
Same airline that cancelled my itinerary at 2am while I was sleeping and very kindly automatically rebooked me for a flight that left 45 min EARLIER. How am I supposed to know to wake up to catch an earlier flight? Missed the baggage cutoff. So I had to have my things…

The MMA community wasted no time in sharing their reactions. Many called out Cormier, while others took some playful jabs. Here are some of the fan reactions –
You were probably late to check-in. Why make so much drama? Tagging Paige shows exactly what you’re trying to accomplish. Seeking attention for absolutely zero reason. Dana White privilege doesn’t work here. Delete this tweet!
