During the press conference after UFC 187 (watch the video below), Bader appeared in the press room and the atmosphere between him and Cormier ended up heating up. The two almost came to blows and DC practically expelled his rival from the place.
“There’s someone else out there who needs to get their ass kicked. I think he's around here. And the Ryan bader. I'm going to finish him off... Keep talking, Bader, keep talking... This guy is so disrespectful... I was trying to fight the Anthony Johnson and he kept sending me stupid messages on Twitter because he wants people to think he deserves a shot at the title,” said Cormier, directing his words at his enemies.
“Come here, Bader. You can fight me whenever you want. You're just going to take a beating like you would have in June (when they would have fought if Cormier hadn't replaced Jon Jones). I didn't walk away from any fight. Not once! I didn't avoid fighting you. In fact, I asked to fight you because I wanted easy money. I asked to fight you several times. I said, 'I want the easiest fighter in the division, I want Ryan bader!'”. Just give me my payment and get out of here, you idiot, this is my press conference!”, the champion raged.
At 36, Daniel Cormier has a professional record of 16 wins and just one loss.
