Nakon poraza od Jona Jonesa i povratka na noge, Daniel Cormier nije odmah shvatio što se dogodilo, zbog čega je i krenuo u raspravu s Johnom McCarthyjem.

No Big John ga nije pokrao, štoviše, dao mu je možda i malo više vremena nego što je trebao za potencijalni povratak u igru. DC je to i sam ustanovio, nakon čega se ispričao sucu.

McCarthy mu je sada odgovorio.

"Nemaš se zbog čega ispričavati. Bio si nevjerojatan prvak koji je predstavljao ovaj sport s dostojanstvom," napisao je na Twitteru.

Na istoj društvenoj mreži Big John je napisao i sljedeće.

"Svi žele biti savršeni no to je nemoguće. Znam zašto sam pustio meč da traje, znam što sam tražio i što sam rekao DC-u. Gledao sam meč puno puta i vjerujem da sam trebao prekinuti borbu dva udarca ranije. No ne dobivam drugu priliku."

1/2 Every referee wants to be perfect, but that's just not a possibility. I know why I let it go, what I was looking 4 & what I told D.C. https://t.co/Qn1dQ4oP8c

2/2 I have watched the fight 2 many times & believe I should have stopped the fight 2 punches earlier. But I don't get 2nd chances #AskBJM https://t.co/Qn1dQ4oP8c
