The reigning two-division UFC champion roasted his Swedish rival on social media just hours after Gustafsson officially withdrew from his August 4 date at UFC 227 because of a “minor injury.” Gustafsson’s exit from the event was reported immediately following Anthony Smith’s destructive knockout of Mauricio Rua at UFC Hamburg and subsequent callout of “The Mauler.”
In post directly addressed to Gustafsson on both Twitter and Instagram, Cormier ripped Gustafsson as “entitled” and “delusional” for his repeated title shot callouts.
“I will always be grateful for October 2015 (when we fought at UFC 192), but you and I won’t share the Octagon again,” Cormier wrote.
