Daniel Cormier and Tony Ferguson have been entailed in heated battle of words on Twitter, after ‘El Cucuy’ seemingly accused the former two-division UFC champion of consuming cocaine. Ferguson had initially taken shots at Cormier by sharing a clip of the controversial weigh-in from UFC 210 when then-champion ‘DC’ rematched Anthony Johnson for the UFC light heavyweight title.
The weigh-ins was heavily impact by controversy after Cormier, who initially weighed in at 1.2 lbs above the maximum limit, appeared to use the support of a towel to make weight. Ferguson’s jibe drew a response from Cormier, who asked the 38-year-old to recover and “spend some time with the family” instead of poking fun at him.
Tony please stop. Go and sit back for a little, tuck your head in a hole somewhere. Regroup man , recover spend some time with your family. Like just please stop! I plead with you. It is not a good look. Like you’re making me sad. https://t.co/2qyGp3XmZE
