UFC 268 brings Justin Gaethje and Daniel Cormier together again after the duo had some words on social media. Gaethje was claiming that Cormier was being biased towards Islam Makhachev at UFC 267.

Daniel Cormier went on his show Debate DC on the Vover Podcast Network and gave his thoughts on the matter.

“How could I be biased to Islam?” Cormier said. “What could I have possibly said positive about Dan Hooker in that fight? There is no bias whenever a fight is clearly on one side. That’s where it becomes a bit much for me and that’s when you start to understand and realize why the people from the outside, their opinions don’t matter as much because they make those types of claims.”

Justin Gaethje's claim had more to do with the fact that Daniel Cormier suggested that Islam Makhachev deserved the next title shot. Something Gaethje took exception to because he believes he's next in line.

Daniel Cormier reiterated that he wasn't biased as a UFC commentator and has no issue addressing it. He's commented when his teammates were fighting before.

“I don’t mind addressing this whole bias thing,” Cormier said. “I think it’s absurd. I don’t agree at all. I think it’s absurd and if you ask me if I am biased towards Islam Makhachev or Khabib Nurmagomedov – guys, I have called Khabib’s fights, Luke Rockhold, Deron Winn, Islam Makhachev, I’ve called all of their fights and I feel like I have done their opponents justice. I go out of my way to make sure that we do their opponents justice. I’m a professional and for as much as I love my teammates, I understand the difference to separate myself from that….

““Look man, if you’re not getting critiqued then you’re not doing a great job.”

Daniel Cormier will be back in the commentary booth at UFC 268.
