After facing backlashes from wrestling fans over social media, retired UFC double champion, Daniel Cormier quit the NCAA wrestling commentary. The former champion took this decision as the wrestling fans were not thrilled with his mic abilities during this year’s major NCAA championships. A fan wrote “DC is painful. He has no professionalism on the mic to the point of it being ridiculous.”

But that did not take the zeal away from Cormier. Therefore recently he took to his social media to recall his golden days of wrestling on the world championships stage.
