Cormier exclaimed: “Anytime I want.”
This triggered the American’s training partner to call him out, saying: “Okay, let’s go now.

While the pair had their jovial argument, for the most part, they are very good friends. Khabib even told Cormier the real reason he jumped the cage after the Conor McGregor fight.
