In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Cormier exclaimed: “When my children went to Dagestan, we break.” Increased, Makhachev raged: “You hit?”
Nurmagomedov then claimed that Cormier's students only got “One point”. The former heavyweight King denied that claim, shot back, “No, we didn't take a point.” Khabib admitted: “You take two points, that's it.”
Makhachev then suggested: “Maybe someone is lying, brother.” Cormier denied this, it said: “I have the video”
This led Nurmagomedov to say: “Don't talk about Dagestan children. It is a different level. American children are not at the level of Dagestan Kids, please, brother, you have to be quiet.”
The now retired undefeated competitor then asked: “How many children come to Dagestan?” Cormier replied: “eight”
The former lightweight champion proclaimed: 'They all [here for] Two weeks one man only lasts two points. “
In complete denial, De Louisian stated: “No, that's not true”, what Makhachev led to answer: “Maybe someone is lying.”
Cormier then claimed that the unreliable individual was in fact Khabib and claimed: “This man is lying. This guy is lying here.”
