Daniel Cormier responds to footage from his Jon Jones KO defeat after Gable Steveson critique

Former UFC two-weight champion Daniel Cormier has responded to accusations of hypocrisy regarding his past actions following a knockout loss. After Cormier labeled Gable Steveson a sore loser for leaving the octagon before the official decision of his 12-second defeat to Sean Sharaf at UFC 331, fans circulated footage of Cormier avoiding the official decision presentation after his UFC 214 knockout loss to Jon Jones.

Responding to the footage on X, Cormier stated that he had no recollection of the events following the knockout kick from Jones until entering an ambulance. He explained that any footage he views from that post-knockout period is unfamiliar to him due to memory loss caused by the concussion.
