Daniel Cormier could not hide his frustrations after seeing his hunter removing from the tournament.
Season 33 of 'The Ultimate Fighter' has produced a number of great matches while Daniel Cormier goes against his ESPN-Co-Gastheer, Chael Sonnen.
After his second time as a coach in the series, Cormier recently revealed plans to further explore this role by starting his own team.
However, the season so far has not been a single traffic for both teams after a few competitive matchups within the UFC Apex.
Sonnen admitted that he saw a different side to Cormier during their time in the show and the competitiveness of the former UFC champion camp was certainly in the latest episode.

Daniel Cormier reproduces his hunter after a comeback victory for the Chael Sonnen team
Episode 7 of the 33rd season of 'The Ultimate Fighter' saw the last opening round matchup in the Flyweight Division.
The Chael Sonen team has been several victories, but they started to close the gap on the lead of Daniel Cormier after back-to-back victories.
On July 8, Team Sonnen's Roybert Echeverria Team Cormier's Tumelo Manyamala entered the second round to continue to the semi -final.
Manyamala started the fight well and took the opening round with his striking control over the action during the first period.
In the second, Echeverria listened to his coaches and came out more aggressively before he successfully implemented the game plan and secured a Takedown with his third attempt.
Echeverria was able to produce the comeback victory by locking up a challenge that Cormier visibly frustrated by the approach of his hunter for the second round.
“That is waste, guy,” Cormier said from the corner in the immediate aftermath. “That is … that was an easy fight. That was an easy fight. That is f— – trash.”
'DC' continued with a similar sentiment when he spoke with his hunter in the back.
“It's frustrating because you should have won that fight,” Cormier told Manyamala. “Remember what you feel now and make sure it doesn't happen to you anymore. Don't waste this opportunity, you're going to learn a lot now.”
Chael Sonnen can bind the score so far in the most expected fight of the season so far
Back-to-back victories for his team have led Chael Sonnen to reduce Daniel Cormier's lead to only 4-3 with one more opening round matchup.
The last semi-final place in Welterweight will be disputed between the two teams first picks at 170 pounds.
Brazilians Rodrigo Sezinando and Diego Bianchini have put heads in the series, but they are ready to have their actions finally talking next week.
If the Bianchini of Team Sonnen is able to win, the both teams will set up perfectly for the semi -final with four representatives on both sides.
