In the lead-up to the fight, while talking to the media, Holloway was asked about Daniel Cormier. DC was recently seen at an NBA game, feasting on chicken fingers. He was seen talking with someone while having a box full of them placed squarely on his lap.
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.
