Come on @POSTERBOYJM do ol’ DC a favor haha — Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) March 8, 2014
Good luck @AlexTheMauler in ur title fight. Dang! Haha my time will come. DC — Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) March 8, 2014
Hey guys just a quick thought……I would have done the same thing to Jimi Manuwa. No disrespect to Jimi just the absolute truth.
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) March 9, 2014
Gus is rightfully next, but lets keep things in perspective. He’s #1 ranked guy for a reason. This shouldn’t have suprised anyone.

Why not give the winner of Alexander and DC the winner of myself and Glover?? — Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) March 9, 2014
I see DC congratulating Alexander and making comments about waiting his turn now.. I wonder if they’re afraid to fight each other? — Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) March 9, 2014
People who don’t like to think are quick to call me afraid. Think about it, I’m asking for the meanest of the two
