Daniel Cormier Hilariously Proves His Athleticism in Retaliation Against a Troll at UFC 322
Daniel Cormier, the legendary two-weight world champion, recently faced a hilarious encounter with a troll backstage at the UFC 322 event. The incident began when a UFC staff member, unaware of being recorded, asked Cormier if he ever wished he had been 'athletic'. This seemingly innocuous question sparked a brilliant response from Cormier, who decided to prove his point in the most entertaining way possible.
Cormier's Career and Physique
Throughout his illustrious career, Cormier has achieved remarkable success, winning gold at both heavyweight and light-heavyweight divisions. He also made the US Olympic wrestling team, showcasing his exceptional combat skills. However, his physique has often been a topic of discussion, with some jokes and jibes about his post-career weight gain. Despite these comments, Cormier's athletic prowess remains undeniable.
The Viral Clip and Cormier's Response
The viral clip, posted on UFC social media, captured the moment when the staff member asked Cormier about his athleticism. Cormier, taken aback by the question, responded with a list of his impressive accomplishments, stating, 'Come on, seriously, that’s absolutely ridiculous. Have you seen my career? Come on, that’s so disrespectful... In my prime, I had athleticism to spare, I could pass some of my athletic ability to some of the people on the UFC roster.'
Proving the Troll Wrong at Madison Square Garden
During a recent visit to Madison Square Garden, Cormier decided to retaliate humorously. He shared a video on his story, tagging the UFC employee Kiana Solomon, and asked if she wondered if he was athletic. He then panned the camera to a photo of himself with two belts from his win at UFC 230 in 2018, proudly displayed on the arena's walls.
Cormier's Final Comment
'You guys remember the girl who asked if I was athletic? It was her,' Cormier goaded. 'She wanted to know if I was athletic.' After tagging Solomon, her Instagram post was flooded with comments, GIFs, and memes celebrating Cormier's athletic achievements and his witty response to the troll.
