‘DC’, who retired from active competition after a loss in the trilogy fight against Stipe Miocic at UFC 252, has made a successful transition into the world of commentary. He now is a regular on the cage side commentary team and also has his own show on YouTube.

However, in the lead-up to the first UFC pay-per-view of 2022, Cormier bit off more than he could chew. During the weigh-in show, he, along with Laura Sanko and other members of the broadcast team, had a skateboarding competition. During the competition, Cormier was part of an unfortunate incident.

While skateboarding, he tripped multiple times. However, at one particular moment when he tripped and fell, he showed a great tuck and roll technique to immediately get up and get back at it. It was hilarious to watch DC trip and fall like that, and all the broadcast team laughed at his expense.

He might be a great fighter and athlete, but skateboarding doesn’t seem to be something up his alley.
