His mentality and not being loud is why I like him

[SOLE_II_SOUL]

This is why I love Cory, because he goes for the toughest challenges.

[yupmvjj]

On paper Anthony Smith doesn't need that extra button.

[jacobfoster]

Respect to Cory for accepting this fight

[samlegrand]

My favorite fighter that’s active right now easily

[nurkeyali]

He is a worrior for real, not fearing anyone and also not abusing anyone.
I am an Umar fan but I love it when our dagestanis face such great worrior

[wikittywhacktv]

cory is the most cerebral fighter on the roster. very intelligent dude.

[Alpha-vnhi]

He really believes he’s better. I’m happy for him. But I’m with Umar Goodluck.

Wittman perching over the bike, watching Corey was a great shot and a shock! Two very cerebral based individuals who liive for the fight. We might see something great tomorrow!!!

[alfioferrari]

Non vedo l'ora di vedere questo incontro

[ayou]

It sucks when you like both guys, just gotta enjoy the show!

[xtratorres]

Corey is a nice looking guy but underneath is a scary dude in the octagon

[nickledue]

Always liked him but became a big fan of Corey after the Yan fight. That fight was awesome, been waiting for him to fight Suga Sean for a while, i think they're both the most exciting strikers in the division

Amazing Random STRiiiker!!!

[evolutionfself]

I like Cory. Has that cerebral Dom Cruz aura

[huskybalboa]

Cmon Cory! Put it all tonight and show your the best Bantemweight in the world! Next is O’Malley which will be a huge fan friendly fight! Good luck sir! You are not flying home empty handed tomorrow!

[guy]

I really wish Cory didn’t take this fight just because he didn’t have to. He could’ve waited for a title shot but he decided to take the hardest fight in the division. This is why he is your favorite fighters favorite fighter. DJ even said that Cory is his favorite fighter to watch. That says something.
