Photo: Daniel Cormier Claps Back at Volkan Oezdemir for Comparing Him to Jimi Manuwa, and Himself to Jon Jones

It’s all fun and games until the champ is standing across the cage from you.

Next in line for the UFC light-heavyweight title is Volkan Oezdemir (12-1). Who is Volkan Oezdemir, you may ask. Oezdemir is currently on a 5-fight winning streak and 3-0 in the UFC, with his most recent fight being a knockout win over Jimi Manuwa at UFC 214. Although an impressive win, Jimi Manuwa is no Daniel Cormier, and DC has made that clear.

Oezdemir took to his Instagram to post a photo of him finishing Manuwa, and compared it to when Jon Jones defeated DC; both images show the defeated opponent stretched out on the canvas. DC took exception to the post, and made a post of his own, in only a way DC knows how to.

Daniel Cormier vs Volkan Oezdemir co-headlines UFC 220 on January 20 from Boston. The PPV card will be headlined with Stipe Miocic defending his heavyweight title against Francis Ngannou.
