Daniel Cormier was the man in the middle of all post-fecht madness on UFC 312.
Dricus Du Plessis broke the nose of Sean Strickland during a crooked decision on Saturday evening.
After defending his belt, the middleweight champion aimed a call on light heavyweight King Alex Pereira, who was Kagesside with Israel Adesanya in the Qudos Arena in Sydney, Australia.

After he finished interviewing the hunters, Daniel Cormier Pereira met at Cageside.
The former UFC champion with double weight received his immediate response to Du Plessis who called him.
“Dricus du Plessis is the man. In the Octagon he called Pereira, “Cormier said on his YouTube channel.
“I told Pereira. After the fight I go, “He wants you, Pereira.”
“Pereira goes,” he's just too small. ” Serious! Pereira goes: “This man is just too small.”
“Alex is huge. I mean, he looked enormous compared to Dricus.
“I think it's great that Dricus has these big goals. I just think he still has work in the middleweight before he thinks about going up. Khamzat Chimaev is problem number one. “

“Yes, he came up and said:” Did you challenge me? “, He explained.” I had something like “I did the entire film scene and everything” and then he is as “do you challenge me?” That is a bit anti-climactic, but sure, yes.
“I said” yes, I'll challenge you, “but I have the world of respect for Alex Pereira. I think he is the best pound-for-pound hunter in the world, I have the most respect for him and what he did in the UFC in a short period of time.
“To get out of another sport and what he did there is incredible. But I want to share the Octagon with that man and I have defeated Adesanya who defeated him, I know I can beat him, and with 205LB, 100 percent. “
