Daniel Cormier has unintentionally revealed his true thoughts on the heavyweight division to the world.
The previous dual-weight UFC champion will probably be on commentary duty for UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi on Saturday night.
Current heavyweight king Tom Aspinall will defend his belt against Ciryl Gane within the principal event of the evening.
On Wednesday, Daniel Cormier sat down for a pre-fight interview with the most effective big man in MMA today, but things didn’t get interesting until ‘DC’ thought the mics and cameras were off.

Watch Daniel Cormier go rogue in leaked footage
The UFC Hall of Famer pulled Tom Aspinall to the side for what he thought was a non-public chat.
Nonetheless, the heavyweight champion had his own cameras rolling, they usually captured the whole thing.
“These matchups on this division, like, do you recognize what kind of f—king run you’ll be able to go on? It will be crazy,” Cormier whispered.
“You possibly can change your life. Because I mean, what’s it? Jailton Almeida is fighting [Volkov]. Jailton can’t fight. [Even if Volkov wins], you beat him in the primary round.
“It could get f—king crazy. You’re on the verge of some crazy s—, man,
“Things like that don’t come around often. It’s like once I got to fight Volkan [Oezdemir].
“I defended the belt against Volkan Oezdemir one time, man. Did I win the lottery, son?”
Fans react to Daniel Cormier’s ‘unprofessional’ comments
The footage quickly went viral on social media after Tom Aspinall shared his ‘Inside UFC 321 Media Day’ video on YouTube.
UFC fans shared their thoughts on what Daniel Cormier needed to say within the comment section.
“DC out here sending mad strays,” one fan said. While one other added: “Disrespected, they are going to all discover.”
“Loudest whisper ever, bro might as well have just said it out loud,” another person commented.
“My favourite thing about UFC is how unprofessional it will probably be sometimes,” one other X user laughed.
“Bro, this can be a bad search for @dc_mma. Almost looks preferential, which you never need to see commentators have,” a fifth fan commented.
