Bantamweights Dominick Cruz and Cody Garbrandt nearly came to blows at Octagon side at UFC 202 last August. The two men were eventually pacified with the interference of Daniel Cormier, who was present that night doing commentary work.

Cormier recently spoke about the fracas, where all of the UFC’s executives were actually present in the scene when the two fighters almost went at it, but not a single person was able to step in.

“Dominick and I were actually doing our co-commentary, which is right next to the Octagon,” Cormier recalled (via The Independent). “Dominick and Cody passed each other and both came face to face. Cody is in a nice suit and Dominick is in a nice suit. And these two guys are in each other’s face now.”

“All of our bosses from the UFC and the TV bosses were there, but no one knew what to do.”

According to Cormier, not even the UFC’s TV crew, whom he described as ‘big guys’, were able to interfere.

“Everyone just kind of stood back. It got to the point that I thought I had to get in the middle and separate those two guys,” Cormier said. “If it wasn’t for me at UFC 202, I think Dominick and Cody would’ve fought in August because none of our bosses and TV crew was willing to actually get in the middle of two 135-pound men.”

“I thought that was funny because these are big guys, these aren’t little guys back there backstage. But they all stood there with their hands in their pockets not sure how to break it up and stop the fight. And I ended it up stopping it. I actually made them wait for UFC 207.”

Cruz and Garbrandt will finally get to settle their differences when they co-headline UFC 207 on December 30th in Las Vegas.
