If you missed it, at yesterday's UFC 170 press conference Daniel Cormier made it known that he wasn't all too happy with Patrick Cummins' trash talking. Let it be a mutual dislike, or a way to gain fan interest in a fight/fighter (Cummins) that they have known about for ten days, there has been a bit of a feud progressing between them. It came to a head during a routine face off, when Cormier approached Cummins pushing him once he was in close enough reach.
Watch it here.
Cummins smiled as Cormier laid down a very real threat. New to the spotlight, Patrick Cummins is enjoying being part of the highest spectacle in MMA. Appearing to be happy burying himself under Cormier's skin. The thing is being a natural at talking doesn't mean you will be a natural at fighting. If all this is authentic, Cummins may find himself at the end of a vicious beating. Learning a valuable lesson in the UFC of stepping in the octagon first before opening your mouth.
It would be amusing to see a trumping. Though I'd rather watch a competitive match and the emergence of two new, popular stars in the light heavyweight division.
I'd be shocked if Cummins actually won, but strangers things have happened.
What is more than likely to occur, is Cormier walking away with a dominant victory. While we were all entertained with quite a circus, over the last week and a half, everything comes to an end.
I feel your pain though Cormier, I couldn't wait either to punch this face if I was you either.
