Former two division UFC champion and UFC Hall Of Fame member Daniel Cormier has become a steady voice behind the microphone for the majority of UFC events.
There have been some who have accused DC of being bias during his commentary duties and DC says he tries his best to call things in a fair manner.
“I’ve noticed and my friends have noticed that as much as people say you’re going to be biased towards a person that you care about, I tend to go the other direction, which is unfair to my guy,” Cormier told MMA Fighting. “But they understand and I try to call the fight as best I can. If a guy deserves praise, I give it to them.
“[There was] a real bad case of this with Blagoy [Ivanov]. Blagoy was fighting and he texted me on Monday and he goes ‘DC, did I not land anything?’ I said yes, you did and I gave you credit for it. He goes ‘it just seemed like you were so intent on what was happening to me.’ I said Blagoy, you weren’t winning but I have to check myself.”
Cormier, despite being retired from MMA competition for several years now, is still a part of the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA), which is home to a plethora of UFC fighters.
DC admits that there are some who criticize his work, but he has to drown out the noise from those who criticize him.
“Part of the reason I was doing that was because I was listening to the voices when in reality those voices, it is the select few,” Cormier said. “The select few is always louder than the majority. So you have to forget about what the select few is doing and just do your job.”
