Daniel Cormier responds to Alex Pereira: ‘I was not told by the UFC to promote’ Ciryl Gane vs. Josh Hokit

Next month, Ciryl Gane will defend his heavyweight title against Josh Hokit at UFC 334 in Madison Square Garden. It's a matchup that bothers "Poatan," who had lobbied for a rematch with Gane after losing to him at the UFC White House card, and earlier this week, Pereira ripped the matchup and "influencers" who pushed the fight , including Cormier. On Tuesday, Cormier responded to Pereira's comments via his YouTube channel , rejecting the idea that he was being told what to say.
