Daniel Cormier has reacted to Tanner Boser allegedly grabbing the fence during his UFC Vegas 30 fight against Ovince Saint Preux.

MMA legend Daniel Cormier was part of the commentary team for the UFC Vegas 30 fight card. During the fight between Tanner Boser and Ovince Saint Preux, Cormier pointed out that Boser grabbed the fence and used it to get the fight back to the feet.

Ovince Saint Preux had Tanner Boser on the mat and seemed to be doing quite well with submission attempts and control in the grappling realm. However, once Boser managed to get back to his feet, the striking battle resumed.

Boser, who’d consistently gotten the better of OSP in the striking department throughout their fight, proceeded to hit OSP with a knee and follow-up punches.

The fight came to a close when Tanner Boser KO’d Ovince Saint Preux with the aforementioned knee and punches in round two of their fight. While Boser emerged victorious in impressive fashion, one of the biggest talking points that emerged from the fight was his alleged fence grab pointed out by Daniel Cormier.

According to a tweet posted by Daniel Cormier, he now seems to have somewhat reconsidered his position on Tanner Boser’s alleged fence grab. Cormier’s tweet read as follows:

“Very hard to tell if Tanner Grabbed the fence on second look. Seemed like he did initially but after rewatching it looked like he closed hand. But still not certain! Either way massive win for Boser!”

Clearly, 'DC' isn't entirely convinced that it was a proper fence grab and gave Boser the benefit of the doubt.
