Overview
- Reyes scored a first‑round TKO over Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 333, finishing the bout with a head kick and follow‑up punches that ended the fight in 2:40 of round one.
- Hours after the win, Reyes took to X to call Cormier a “low‑IQ hater,” object to being called “kid,” and accuse the broadcast team of bias toward fighters from the Caucasus region.
- Daniel Cormier replied on X, denied using ‘kid’ as an insult, praised Reyes’ performance, and offered to speak in person while urging Reyes to stop the public back‑and‑forth.
- Reyes later softened his tone in a follow‑up post, saying the commentary team was doing their best, and no on‑record meeting or formal escalation has been announced.
- Jon Jones joined the thread with a mocking response, and the exchange highlights broader tensions over how live commentary can influence fan opinion and a fighter’s path toward title contention.
