Daniel Cormier responds to Rinat Fakhretdinov’s commentary criticism after UFC 308 win: ‘He’s a moron’

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – Daniel Cormier didn’t mince words when asked about Rinat Fakhredinov’s recent comments toward the commentary team at UFC 308.

Fakhredinov (23-1-1 MMA, 5-0-1 UFC) won a controversial unanimous decision over Carlos Leal in their welterweight bout at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi. Cormier, who was on the commentary duty for the event, firmly disagreed with the decision.

“Really bad commentators,” Fakhredinov said during a post-fight news conference at UFC 308. “… First round was pretty close. It could’ve gone either way. I didn’t have any doubt the second or third round was mine. After your words, people will say again the Arabs bought the decision.”
