Jokes about Russell Westbrook aren’t new, but former UFC champion Daniel Cormier dragged him out of nowhere on Saturday night.
During Gilbert Burns’ pre-fight walkout at UFC 288, Cormier, a current UFC broadcaster, gave his “Keys to Victory” for the Brazilian fighter against Belal Muhammad in a welterweight clash, and one of them was, “Don’t be Russell Westbrook.”
“Russell Westbrook, who I love, is one of the most talented guys in the NBA. As is Gilbert Burns [in the UFC.] Russ got to the NBA Finals once,” Cormier said on the UFC 288 telecast. “He got back on the verge of it a couple of times, but he was never able to break through. This is Durinho’s [Gilbert Burns] chance to get a second opportunity at a championship, but you’ve got to separate yourself from the great Russell Westbrook and go and earn another title fight.”UFC/ZuffaAdvice that would go on fallen ears.
Saturday represented Burns’ shot at reclaiming glory, with the winner setting themselves up to be the next title contender once welterweight champion Leon Edwards faces Colby Covington.Burns, similar to Westbrook, is a freak athlete with an advanced array of skills as a performer.But time is running out for both to reach the pinnacle.in response to a variety of insults about his poor play in big games, such as the infamous “Westbrick” comments.
