While fake press websites and social media handles can cause a lot of surprising moments in MMA, a recent response by Daniel Cormier to one such fake quote, ended up being hilarious.

‘MMAFPress’, a well-known fake-press website that often successfully trolls fans and fighters alike, also seemingly fooled ‘DC’.

UFC fighter Vanessa Demopoulos leaped into Joe Rogan‘s arms after her submission win over Silvana Gomez Juarez at UFC 270. She recreated a similar moment with Michael Bisping at UFC Vegas 57 after winning against Jinh Yu Frey via a split decision.

‘MMAFPress’ released a fake quote that claimed Cormier’s wife wouldn’t allow a fighter to do the same with her husband. Cormier replied, “While hilarious she didn’t say that at all. Some of y’all are so creative I don’t even know how they do that”.

However, the retired champion soon realized ‘MMAFPress’ antics and wrote a hilarious tweet. ‘DC’ tweeted, “I’m even more embarrassed now. I constantly show my age haha”.

So it looks like Cormier and UFC fans had a good laugh about the incident. Many liked how the former UFC champion didn’t shy away from the embarrassing moment.

Dana White didn’t realize it was a fake account and replied to it.
