Bloodstains are part and parcel of reporting combat sports at close quarters, and UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier was reminded of this fact at UFC Jacksonville.
After the night’s co-main event, Cormier, the ex-champion across two divisions and commentator, revealed the outcome of a post-battle interview with Maycee Barber. Barber had managed to defeat Amanda Ribas, and Cormier’s dress shirt bore the proof of the intense fight.
As the fight replay showcased Barber’s triumph on screen, an unfiltered mic recorded her apology and Cormier’s response regarding the blood splatter.
“Sorry,” said Barber.
“Oh, you got blood all over me,” Cormier responded, sounding somewhat dismayed.
Despite this, Cormier bounced back swiftly, acknowledging Barber for her notable fifth consecutive win against a ranked opponent. Barber requested and received a “Fight of the Night” bonus of $50,000.
UFC’s social media account jokingly suggested that Barber should spend a part of her prize money to purchase a new dress shirt for Cormier.

Can’t believe the barber vs ribas fight ended this way! daniel’s gonna need a new shirt lol
Blood, sweat and victory, that’s UFC for ya! Kudos to Barber on her 5th win in a row, and poor DC… time for a trip to the dry cleaners.
Whoa, DC got a lil bloody there huh? Guess it comes with the territory. barber’s on fire these days, well earned bonus!
haha, guess Barber needs to buy DC a new shirt with that 50k. Who else thinks this was the best fight of the night?
poor Cormier, guess he didn’t expect the interview to be this ‘bloody’ entertaining. next time, wear a darker shirt, DC. Keep up the great work barber!
