Daniel Cormier denies allegations that the UFC instructed him to promote the Ciryl Gane versus Josh Hokit heavyweight title fight at UFC 334 following complaints from Alex Pereira.

Former dual-division champion Daniel Cormier has publicly responded to allegations made by Alex Pereira regarding the promotion of the upcoming UFC 334 heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit. Pereira, who has expressed frustration over not securing a rematch with Gane, recently suggested that media figures were being directed by the UFC to support the Gane-Hokit matchup. Cormier, who serves as a prominent commentator and analyst for the promotion, dismissed the claim that he received any specific directives from the organization to champion the fight. Addressing the situation, Cormier stated that he was not told by the UFC to promote the bout. He suggested that the friction likely stems from a misunderstanding or a communication breakdown between the parties involved. The heavyweight title clash at Madison Square Garden has become a focal point of recent discussion, as Pereira continues to vocalize his interest in regaining his position at the top of the division. For fantasy players, the ongoing narrative surrounding Gane’s title defense and the potential for future contender movement remains a critical element to watch as UFC 334 approaches.
