Daniel Cormier's commentary has become a target, and Darren Till has delivered the sharpest shot so far. Till, who left the UFC in 2023, told The Ariel Helwani Show that Cormier is biased and does not say what is on his mind.
"I can smell that b——- from over here at this corner of the world," Till said. He added that he would not say it to Cormier's face, because Cormier is "a f—— animal of a fighter."
Till's complaint is partly tied to a specific moment. He called Cormier a 'potato' for defending Usman Nurmagomedov's charge into the cage at UFC Shanghai earlier this year. According to BJPenn.com, Cormier has not responded to Till's repeated jabs.
Till is not alone. Dominick Reyes went after Cormier online after hearing his call of Reyes' win at UFC 333, which led to a viral back-and-forth. Sean O'Malley openly wondered whether Cormier disliked him after Cormier endorsed Song Yadong for a title shot. Petr Yan, the bantamweight champion, could face either O'Malley or Yadong next.
Till is a 33-year-old English welterweight and has been busy with his own targets lately. He recently called Jake Paul 'a fraud' after saying he had been in camp for a fight that went to Cédric Doumbé instead.
What to watch next: Cormier is expected to be a lead analyst at UFC 334 on Nov. 14, where Ciryl Gane meets Josh Hokit in a heavyweight title fight. The card will show whether he answers the criticism on air or lets it pass.
