Ariel Helwani bashes Daniel Cormier for not adding value to his experience on Instagram

The MMA journalist has not been very impressed after having to see multiple reposted stories by his friend DC. Helwani said that Cormier reposts every single story that has his mention. However, the former Olympian denied it.

“Not everyone,” Daniel Cormier said in the recent edition of DC and Helwani. “Imagine how many there is. It’s the people that I know that I try to repost them. But then I sometimes think people write stuff knowing that I’m gonna repost it. So it’s a chance of getting on the thing.”

“But you’re not adding value. When you are posting an IG story you have to add value to my experience,” Ariel himself began laughing thinking he was giving himself too much importance. “I saw the same picture nine times. I was like give me something else. Can I see you in the bathtub? Can I see you in the sauna?”

Both DC and Helwani are usually in a jolly mood during the podcast. However, after listening to Helwani’s latest demands, Cormier couldn’t control himself. He asked Helwani to say pause while he tried to subdue his laugh. Even Ariel was laughing out loud at his own words.
