Daniel Cormier says he won’t be returning to NCAA wrestling commentary after criticism received during his latest stint.
Cormier is a former NCAA All-American wrestler from Oklahoma State University and a two-time member of the U.S. Olympic wrestling squad. After switching to MMA and becoming a two-division UFC champ, “DC” was invited to continue calling fights for the NCAA wrestling championship. Despite his vast experience in combat sports and commentating, Cormier’s commentary has drawn mixed reviews. While some saw Cormier’s energetic style as the way forward, others criticized him for not being technical enough.
Cormier has decided to step away from NCAA commentary after his latest gig over online backlash.
