Daniel Cormier has denied being bitter about Jon Jones' UFC heavyweight title win after his reaction to the fight went viral.
Cormier, 43, has a long-term rivalry with fellow UFC legend Jones, 35, who won the vacant heavyweight belt last weekend by tapping out Ciryl Gane in just over two minutes. Cormier, who was commentating the fight, was accused of being "bitter" to Jones' win but has insisted that his nonchalant reaction to the win was because he couldn't work out what submission Gane tapped to.
A fan asked: "Why is DC so bitter?" and Cormier then responded: "Not bitter at all, legit couldn’t see what he had tapped to until we saw the different camera angle. You guys sure can create things. I really don’t care either way, I’m here to call fights only."
