The ex-featherweight titleholder, Max Holloway, and esteemed UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier share a close friendship. Nevertheless, there have been instances where ‘Blessed’ has hilariously conveyed his dissatisfaction with ‘DC’ on account of a particular tendency he possesses. Nonetheless, the former two-division champion has recently disclosed that the culpability lies with UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

Daniel Cormier joined the UFC commentary team after retiring from MMA. Moreover, he is often seen eating something or the other whenever he sits down with his fellow broadcast members during fight nights. This is one habit that irritates Max Holloway a lot and he has been very vocal about it. However, Daniel Cormier claims that it is all because of Joe Rogan. Let us see what he had to say about it.

Daniel Cormier blames Joe Rogan for getting into trouble with Max Holloway

During a recent episode of the ‘DC & RC’ show, Cormier and Ryan Clark watched a video where Holloway is expressing his disappointment with the Hall of Famer for snacking during commentary. However, the former double champion claims that he only eats because of Joe Rogan, who carries snacks with him during events. Cormier said, “Rogan brings these snacks every time, bro. He brings this beef jerky.”

Moreover, it’s not just the beef jerky that they eat, there’s also popcorn available during fights. It is primarily due to the fact that they sit there for up to seven hours. Daniel Cormier continued, “So we sit down [and] we eat it, and we eat popcorn.” He further added, “Dude, we’re sitting there for seven and a half hours”. He also mentioned that Max Holloway never misses a chance to take shots at him whenever he can.

DC doesn’t need enemies when he has a friend like Holloway

Daniel Cormier is very fond of the former featherweight champion. They share a very close relationship with each other. However, that has never stopped ‘Blessed’ from taking shots at him. “Bro I love that guy [Holloway], but that guy constantly takes shots at me,” said Cormier. He further mentioned that, recently, he came across Max Holloway’s interview on the ‘Flagrant’ podcast. There, the Hawaiian native took yet another jibe at the Hall of Famer.

Daniel Cormier said, “Today I see an interview in one of the biggest podcasts in the world. He called me a sell-out.” Similarly, DC mentioned that people don’t need any enemies when they have someone like Max Holloway as a friend. He is just a different kind of personality. “That dude, if you got friends like Max Holloway, you don’t need enemies because Max keeps coming for me.”
