While talking about it, Holloway said, “Brother, oh my gosh man. I saw Danny eating chicken fingers. I saw him eating popcorn. He told me he went to the Dr. Pepper headquarters, and they gave him some special ingredient one.”

“I’m like, Daniel, you need to slow down, brother. I told you, any weight, anytime, but come on man, let’s be reasonable. I’m telling you, he’s gonna just lay and prey on me,” he added.

Max Holloway and Daniel Cormier have always shared a great bond, and keep trolling each other.

The relationship between Max Holloway and Daniel Cormier

The feud between the two goes way back to them, trying to fight for the title of Daddest Man on the Planet. Chiefly, Holloway, in an interview, said that he thinks of Cormier as his big brother and he is just gonna keep poking the bear. He also said, “Just because you sneeze and throw out your back doesn’t make you the ‘Daddest Man On The Planet.'”

This got an immediate reply from the former two-division UFC champion. In his response, he said, This is it, I’ve had enough. Me vs @BlessedMMA send me the date and location Holloway. I’m already 1-0 against you since I won the madden game.”
