Daniel Cormier rematched Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title at the main event of UFC 214. Unfortunately for DC he was on the receiving end of a brutal headkick and a follow up beating which in the mind of UFC president Dana White could of been stopped way sooner!
After the fight, veteran commentator and fight analyst, Joe Rogan stepped in the cage and Interviewed The former champion minutes after he was knocked out.
Via USA Today, Cormier's coach, Javier Mendez said “He had no business being interviewed, move. Rogan probably feels bad.”
Cormier was later diagnosed with a concussion but in a stable condition.
Joe Rogan posted the following apology on social media.
"My apologies to D.C. And to everyone else upset at me for interviewing him after the fight. In all honestly I was kind of in shock and I don't think I realized what I was doing until I had a mic in my hand and I was talking to him.
I've said that I don't want to interview fighters after they've been KO'ed and then I did it to someone that I care a great deal about. It was 100% my fuck up and no one pressured me to do it.
I posted a series of tweets about it on twitter but I know some of you folks only use instagram or Facebook so I thought the right thing to do is post it here as well.
I was beating myself up about it all night, and whenever something like that happens it's always my sincere intention to apologize and express my honest feelings.
It'll never happen again."

I think we all deserved the interview after all the build up to the fight and the outcome!
Thanks big The Lord fan here
crybaby.. he’s still a champ but will not win to bones even for another match
you need to retire DC…in a fight one looses and one win…you can not give us a face like that men…win or loose stay proud…after all that is what you do for a living…bounce back men
Mother fucker
Son of bitch how u can put this picture
Giovoni Cocroft
Grande Cormier Conchetumare
Hahaha
Shit up joe, interviewing guys after they have been kOd is senseless
He was crying ? ?
The guy was confused
Rogan said he shouldn’t have interviewed DC. The guy got knocked out. Its a judgement call. People pad lots of money to watch this card. Interview him… If he said no, then respect it. That didn’t happen. He was willing to talk. Jones was awesome.
Daniel Cormier is beast though.
Joe should not have to apologize
MemOry Jim : DC mếu máo kìa ?
:)) Khoc vl
???
Nice
Don’t cry DC,its about time you baby sit your grand kids
it was worth to see DC slevering his words hahahaha ???
if dc didnt act like a pusssy joe wouldnt have to say sorry… right?
More the fact Joe said in a recent podcast (after overeem) he would never interview a knocked out and concussed fighter. He went back on this like a hypocrite and people called him on it
its his job, hes done it before and interviewed fighters who have been knocked out in the past so whats different? i stick by the fact if dc didnt cry then it would be soooo different lol
Because he bangs on about CTE all the time and overeem was so out of it that he thought he had submitted stipe. Ufc didn’t make him interview DC, he wanted to, said so himself. He’s a hypocrite. I personally don’t care either way whether he does or doesn’t, just don’t say you’ll never do it again then jump in at the first opportunity to get your face on camera.
I felt for DC, wanted Jones to win but DC is a great fighter, an all time great even, there’s no shame in coming up short to one of the best of all time.
He’s an amazing fighter and athlete. A true champ
cormier dragged jones name through the sewer for years and he goes away like ronda rousey instead of being a real champion
No Jones dragged Jones’ name trough the sewer. Comier has been behaving like a great family man and citizen who cares for other people.
Dc mr emoji face ?
tyvm for this
Gary Rizza

Well if you must know…joined the Marine Corp at 18, MOS was 0311 (infantrymen), PFC team leader, deployed to Iraq, lead multiple mission while deployed there, received an honorable discharge, went to school and graduated with an associate in applied science, next month I’ll have one in business management….
So what the fuck have you done lately
Shut him up lol
Thank you for your service Mr. Jay Sturgis m/
I listen to Joe Rogan’s podcasts all the time and he has said on multiple occasions that he does not like to interview fighters after they get KO’d. I believe his apology to be 100% sincere.
I felt pity For DC,jst look at his face, he looks like a small kid,so sorry man, jon bones, his skills are just amazing and he has height advantage,DC was no match in front of JBJ.
Apologize
I don’t understand why…its his job to do that, win or lose! Smh
I expect to see this picture in 1million memes…
Its going to replace the Michael jordan crying meme lol
Was horrible to see, but think Rogan got caught up in the moment, no Ill intention, Glad DC is OK as the guy seems a gent
Shame on you Joe Rogan shame on you
