Before his win against Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 on Saturday, Daniel Cormier stirred up some controversy during the weigh-ins. The current light heavyweight champion managed to make the 205-pound mark, just two minutes after tipping the scales at 206.2 pounds.
For a couple of minutes, the title fight rematch between “DC” and “Rumble” was in jeopardy. But after Cormier successfully made weight, rival Jon Jones immediately called him out for a “blatant foul play,” branding it as “one of the dirtiest things he’s seen in sports.”
“Bones” particularly pointed out how Cormier could have possibly manipulated the weigh-ins by grabbing onto the towel and using it as leverage to move his weight away from the scale.
