Daniel Cormier's recent bulky look whilst training alongside Khabib Nurmagomedov and Belal Muhammad has fans amused

Daniel Cormier's latest look has caused a stir amongst fans on Twitter, after the retired fighter was pictured training with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Belal Muhammad.

'DC' called time on his career back in 2020, following back-to-back losses to Stipe Miocic. Despite the bittersweet end to his time fighting, Cormier is considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, as evidenced by his double champ status and runs as the champion in the 205lb and heavyweight divisions.

Although fans are still treated to seeing Daniel Cormier on color commentary, the latest photo of the former champ has amused fans on social media.

Welterweight contender Muhammad is pushing for his own title glory and is training to do so under the guidance of both Nurmagomedov and Cormier. In the photo, 'The Eagle', 'DC' and 'Remember the Name' are all seen recovering from a tough training session.

Cormier is also seen sporting a well-earned retirement 'belly', which fans immediately noticed. One fan even jokingly asked if 'DC' had swallowed a flyweight fighter.

Twitter user @omaragag6 stated that Cormier's physique is the sign of a man who's eating well.
