"He would destroy all of them" - Former UFC heavyweight warns Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal and other fighters taking shots at Daniel Cormier
Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub has warned the likes of Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal for constantly taking shots at Daniel Cormier.
In a video recently uploaded to his YouTube channel, 'Big Brown' reflected on Nate Diaz's distasteful comments towards Cormier. This came after 'DC' suggested that a fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Diaz would've ended unfavorably for the Stockton fighter.
According to Schaub, those lashing out at 'DC' are doing so knowing that they're multiple weight classes apart from the former heavyweight champion. The 39-year-old also asserted that none of the fighters taking aim at Cormier could handle him inside the octagon:
"All these fighters that talk s**t to him... It's interesting, right? Like Jorge [Masvidal] came out against him like just a lot of fighters talk s**t about DC. And I think it's a case of, DC is on top of the food chain, right? Light heavyweight champ, heavyweight champ! If it's a smaller weight, I don't think they would do it but because he's bigger, they know the bigger guy's not going to do any to them."
Schaub added:
"If that f***ing lion turns around - anybody who's talking s**t about DC, I would love to hear the argument. Name one person who's currently fighting that talks s**t about DC that could beat him up. Not one of them... If DC wanted to - even in that tight suit they put him in - he would destroy all of them inside that octagon."

Daniel Cormier responds to Nate Diaz's comments
Daniel Cormier recently weighed in on how a potential matchup between Nate Diaz and Khamzat Chimaev would have played out. Speaking on an edition of the DC & RC Show, Cormier stated that Chimaev's weight miss was a "gift from God" for Diaz. He added that the Stockton fighter lacks the skills to overcome someone of Chimaev's caliber.
Taking to Twitter, Nate Diaz sounded off on 'DC' for his comments. The Stockton native called 'DC' a "fat motherf****r" and posted a picture from the aftermath of Cormier's loss to Jon Jones in July 2017.
