Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier found himself in hot water once again as a video clip of him munching away during a live commentary session went viral. The incident occurred during the latest episode of Dana White’s Contender Series at the Apex Facility, where Cormier was calling the action for a thrilling featherweight bout between Austria’s Bogdan Grad and America’s Michael Aswell.
As the intense match unfolded in the octagon, viewers were treated to an unexpected auditory experience. The distinct sounds of chewing and lip-smacking could be heard over the microphone, prompting fans to dub Cormier the “Daddest man on the planet” for his unabashed snacking.
The clip quickly spread across social media platforms, with one user sharing the video and commenting, “Daniel Cormier shamelessly eating into his mic on live UFC commentary was wild 💀.” The incident has sparked a wave of good-natured ribbing aimed at the beloved commentator.
Despite the culinary distraction, the match itself was a spectacle to behold. Grad and Aswell engaged in a back-and-forth war that pushed both fighters to their limits. In the end, Grad emerged victorious with a split decision win, securing a UFC contract and a substantial cash prize.
UFC President Dana White was so impressed with the performances that he awarded both fighters their win and show purses, along with an additional $5,000 bonus. Aswell, despite not securing the contract, walked away with $15,000 and the promise of a future UFC opportunity once he recovers from a gnarly cut above his eye.
This isn’t the first time Cormier has been caught indulging during his commentary duties. Just last week, he was spotted enjoying a snack during a Fight Night event at the same venue. It seems the former champion’s appetite for both food and mixed martial arts action knows no bounds.
As fans continue to poke fun at Cormier’s on-air eating habits, it’s clear that his endearing personality and wholesome mishaps only add to his charm. Whether he’s breaking down the technical aspects of a bout or satisfying his hunger pangs, DC remains a beloved figure in the world of UFC commentary.
