Daniel Cormier on Chael Sonnen's 'punk' comment: 'Remember the source'

Chael Sonnen recently made headlines for the first time in awhile when he chimed in on the UFC light heavyweight title situation.

Speaking on his podcast, Sonnen said that anyone who would accept the title when Jon Jones still lurks in the division is "a punk."

"If you accept the title when you didn't beat him, you're a punk," Sonnen said. "I would never put a belt around my waist knowing the guy five feet away from me is the true owner of it."

Monday, Daniel Cormier, who will meet Anthony Johnson for that vacant title at UFC 187, responded to West Linn's finest.
