Daniel Cormier, who currently works for the UFC, has officially retired from active competition. While many other fighters have complained about low pay, the two-division champion turned UFC commentator recently praised the promotion again for giving him monetary bonuses throughout his career.
“When people talk about ‘You’re a white knight for the UFC’ why wouldn’t I be? They changed my life,” Cormier said on ESPN.
“After I had lost to Jon Jones, Lorenzo Fertitta gave me a million dollars. Him and Dana gave me a million dollars. They actually called me and said, ‘We are going to give you a million dollars for for the job that you’ve done,” he said.
