Twitter REACTS to Cormier vs. Gustafsson

“Then he showed these men of will what will really was.”

UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is a Grandmaster of The Grind, and the whole sport was honored to watch it on full display Saturday night, as DC slowly, literally ground Alexander’s face away.

As always, Twitter reacted.
