Daniel Cormier was absolutely furious when Khabib Nurmagomedov managed to trick him with a hilarious prank.
The previous two-weight world champion has an excellent relationship together with his Russian teammates at American Kickboxing Academy.
Cormier even gave Islam Makhachev a unbelievable present after his win at UFC 311, showcasing just how much he cares about his friends.
But with this type of camaraderie, can often come practical jokes. And it’s fair to say the Louisianian was a victim of 1 in an enormous way.

Khabib Nurmagomedov made Daniel Cormier insult himself in Russian
Khabib Nurmagomedov trolled Daniel Cormier by by some means convincing the all-time great to call himself a b—- in Russian.
For weeks, those that spoke the language within the gym, were laughing their heads off, while ‘DC’ was blissfully unaware of the joke that was playing out at his expense.
Upon checking out, it’s fair to say the legend wasn’t overly impressed. In footage Javier Mendez shared to his Instagram, the grappler stormed onto the mats to confront Khabib.
Cormier exclaimed: “Now, I do know what this implies.”
It’s very rare that ‘The Eagle’ takes a backward step. But on this occasion, he did, with the previous 155-pound King professing that he had nothing to do with the entire situation.
He claimed: “I don’t say this, I never say this.”
The 2-weight title holder raged: “Having me calling myself a b—- for weeks. That’s tousled. That’s bulls—.”
Daniel Cormier slaps Islam Makhachev after the UFC lightweight champion hits him with a brutal insult
While Cormier is significantly larger than each Khabib and Islam Makhachev, neither of the Dagestani icons are overly fearful of him.
In actual fact, they each experience the chance to wind him up.
Nonetheless, on one occasion it went too far.
During an interview, Cormier slapped Makhachev for a comment he deemed ‘disrespectful’.
