Daniel Cormier, in the past, stated that he would not pick Chael Sonnen in the list of the best UFC fighters to never win a belt. In a recent episode of Good Guy Bad Guy, Chael Sonnen played the clip and asked Cormier for an explanation. Here’s what ‘DC’ had to say,

“They set me up. When you look at it very closely, there’s a thing called AI……Look at your boy up there getting played by the AI.”

Daniel Cormier tried to save himself by saying the video was AI-generated and that he would never say such a thing. In the end, the pair had a good laugh at the video and let the bygones be bygones.

Their new show is all about the MMA world and true to the name, Daniel Cormier plays the Good Guy. Chael Sonnen, known for his tough persona, naturally plays the Bad Guy, giving his takes on upcoming fights and even the latest fight news.
