Daniel Cormier has expressed his support for the growing rivalry between UFC fighters Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria, particularly as they prepare for their lightweight title fight on June 14 at the White House event. Initially, both fighters maintained a respectful demeanor towards each other, but that changed recently when Topuria released a promotional video featuring a white rose placed on a mural of Gaethje. In response, Gaethje labeled Topuria a 'gimmick' and made a pointed reference to Topuria's recent divorce. Cormier, commenting on this exchange, stated that he enjoys the personal jabs as they add depth to the fight narrative, making it more compelling for fans. He believes that the personal stakes involved elevate the significance of the championship bout. As Gaethje approaches the twilight of his career, a loss could potentially lead to his retirement, adding further weight to this high-stakes matchup.
