UFC color commentators Daniel Cormier and Dominick Cruz had a brief, shallow spat during UFC 269’s fight week last December. It all stemmed from Cruz’s criticisms of Cormier’s work.

He wants to get in and out, get the job done, make his money. And I think he cares about us (fighters), but it’s just different. He doesn’t do the preparation from my experience.
“Now, I’m hoping he watches some film, this time, on me, so that he knows what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.
