Darren Till criticizes Daniel Cormier for defending Usman Nurmagomedov

Former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till publicly criticized UFC commentator Daniel Cormier on Tuesday. The tension follows the UFC Shanghai main event, where Usman Nurmagomedov entered the octagon immediately after his brother, Umar Nurmagomedov, lost to Song Yadong by knockout. While critics questioned Usman Nurmagomedov’s decision to enter the cage and his behavior toward Song Yadong, Cormier defended his actions by suggesting he deserved grace. Till responded via social media, calling Cormier a company man and questioning his consistent defense of the Nurmagomedov family. Till remains scheduled to headline BKFC 94 against Yoel Romero on September 26 at AO Arena in Manchester. Cormier has not responded to the specific remarks regarding his commentary role or his affiliation with Team Nurmagomedov.
