After the interview, as ‘The Predator’ tried to touch DC’s face, he said, “I know, I got it on purpose. Don’t ever touch my face. The one thing you would not do is touch my face. Please don’t do that. Now, I’ve got to go to the bathroom because you tried to punch me. God bless you.”
DC has been a heavyweight champion himself during his time in the promotion. However, he retired from professional fighting after he lost his last two fights against Stipe Miocic.
Meanwhile, the Cameroonian fighter became the heavyweight champion after dethroning Miocic in 2021. However, he hasn’t entered the UFC octagon ever since. But he will return tonight to make his first-ever title defense.
