Francis Ngannou’s coach issued a brutal warning to those who issued him death threats online:

Top-ranked UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou saw his hype train come crashing down when he lost a one-sided unanimous decision to champion Stipe Miocic at January’s UFC 220.
The loss prompted the expected social media backlash from the Internet warriors wanting to poke fun at how the UFC’s next big thing lost in such dominant fashion, but some overzealous ‘fans’ reportedly took things too far in messages to ‘The Predator’s’ striking coach Dewy Cooper.
Aside from the normal trolling that accompanies such a loss in a huge title bout, Cooper recently revealed to MMAjunkie that he also received death threats because of the fight. A longtime kickboxer, Cooper was surprised so-called fans of MMA would take their responses to such a level, especially against a highly-trained master of martial arts.
But if these so-called fans are going to make threats, Cooper said he told them where and when they can find him to carry them out:
“I responded to every single one of them – ‘(Expletive) you, I’m at One Kick’s Gym on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,’” Cooper told MMAjunkie Radio. “‘I’m at Mayweather’s gym on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays. I’m at the UFC gym at 2 o’clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Come kill me, mother(expletive).”
Even though Cooper has experienced the ups and downs of the fight game throughout his 30-year career in combat sports, he’s still baffled by the social media-focused world of MMA in that regard. With the threats coming both baseless online and inching towards true physical violence, Cooper issued a final warning to his detractors willing to threaten him – online or in person:
“We’re not being bullied physically or on social media,” Cooper said. “You talk (expletive) about me, I’m talking (expletive) about you. Period. I don’t give a (expletive) if I’m at the White House with the president. I don’t care if I’m at the hospital with my girl having my child. You disrespect me, I’m disrespecting you.
“I’m a Malcolm X follower. I believe eye for an eye, cheek for a cheek, and that’s what it’s going to be until the day I die. But I’m the nicest, coolest guy in the world. But I’m no punk (expletive). I’m not going to be disrespected and my life challenged and not have some serious recourse about it.”

Daniel Cormier is well aware that his legacy could be set in stone following UFC 226…

On July 7, a bonafide super fight will headline UFC 226 during International Fight Week at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic will put his title on the line against 205-pound titleholder Daniel Cormier.
And while the stakes are obviously high in terms of titles, Cormier feels as if this bout, which he described as ‘unbelievable’, could hold major implications in terms of pound-for-pound status as well:
“That’s what it should be. Stipe and I are ranked like No. 3 and 4 or No. 4 and 5 in the pound-for-pound rankings right now. How much better does it get than that?” Cormier told FloCombat. “This is as good as it gets in terms of sport, in terms of athletic competition, in terms of importance of the sport tied to one fight.
“It’s unbelievable. I’m so lucky to be a part of this.”
Cormier is also looking at the bout as one that could further cement his legacy in the sport. The former Olympian has established himself as one of the greatest light heavyweights of all-time, holding a 20-1-1 professional record, with his only loss coming against Jon Jones.
In addition to beating another champion and another fighter considered to be one of the best in the world, a win at UFC 226 will also make Cormier only the second fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold two titles in two different weight classes.
And if he comes out on top in July, Cormier says that his accomplishments won’t be able to be denied:
“This gives me exactly what I’ve been pining for,” Cormier said. “I get this done, everything I’ve always wanted, wished for and hoped for is not only a reality but it’s my truth now. I can honestly say I am one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time and have no reservations about it and no one can question it.
“They can only say you know what he’s accomplished, he has that right, and he’s earned it.”
