After engaging in an exchange of barbs with Conor McGregor in recent weeks, Daniel Cormier spoke about the Irishman again After a new controversy involving the 'Notorious', who was the center of confusion at the VMAs, DC showed concern when questioning whether the MMA legend had lost his way in his own character. The athlete used big names from WWE, a prestigious 'Luta Livre' event, as an argument.

“The crazy thing about McGregor is when I talk about the gimmick, I mean the billionaire with the bankroll and the cars and the money, because that's the reality of WWE. You have a character, it could be 'The Billionaire'. You can be Vince McMahon (WWE icon famous for his extravagances). Vince McMahon is the 'evil boss'. (…) It's the same thing as Ric Flair (another 'Luta Livre' legend). When Ric Flair acted, with style, profiling, kissing girls and making them cry, all that. However, when Flair left the scene, he didn't abandon character. He continued living like Ric Flair, and that was his undoing. That's why he continues to act at age 60. He spent so much money, so recklessly, that it became unsustainable,” said Cormier, in an interview with 'ESPN'.
Voted the highest paid athlete of 2021 by the prestigious 'Forbes', Conor, for a few years now, has been squandering his fortune with mansions, cars, jewelry and other perks. In addition to the boasts, McGregor has also been causing trouble outside the Octagon, which adds value to Daniel's argument.
"Conor McGregor He's a fighter, but he also has a great life and that's where I ask: 'Did the trick dominate who he is as a person?'” said Daniel.
Last weekend, the Irishman was one of the guests to present an award at the traditional VMA, produced by the North American MTV. Even before his performance at the event, the fighter was at the center of a fight with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, still on the red carpet. Initially, the 'almost fight' would have happened after the singer allegedly denied taking a photo with the 'Notório'. Days later, it was rumored that the disagreement was due to a personal message from the athlete to the artist's girlfriend, Megan Fox.
Considered one of the greatest phenomena in the history of martial arts, McGregor is not having a good time in the sport. In 2021 alone, the Irishman was surpassed twice by Dustin poirier. In the second, at UFC 264, the Irishman ended up suffering a serious injury, fracturing his ankle and being out of action for the rest of the season.
