It’s such a bummer that you two don’t have a show together anymore. I watch every MMA show I can find and this is by far the best duo of all time. Nothing compares, and I really hope on behalf of the MMA super fans that DC and Helwani returns.
Yeah, I agree. It was a must see show after PPVs
They should find a way to have cormier co-host one hour of the mma hour with ariel. Maybe the first hour. Cormier can do it remotely via laptop. Ariel announces what day it is on the calendar. National whatever day. Then do the interviews
One is mortal enemies with the man, the other is a company man. There's no way they stick together without losing out on a bag. Really sad.
agreed
#DCandHelwani
Literally the best duo in MMA 😂 the vibes
14:00 Cain topic
Gotta throw the bad guy in as well, with hellwani
Man y’all don’t understand through the pandemic them two got me through some rough times this is amazing watching them two again peace love respect stay blessed 🙏🏼
Ariel is a slimy 🐍
I delivered for Amazon during the pandemic, and their podcast was what I listened to every day when I delivered. My favorite MMA podcast duo.
saaaaaaame
I was happy to look at these comments and not see anyone being a douche about it. Love to see it.
I hate when anyone says you just don't understand, surely you wouldn't expect random internet folk to understand the context of your life right? Such a convo ender
this was awesome 💯 it felt like the good ol' days of DC & Helwani .. Ariel's energy was of a little kid on Christmas, he was so happy to see DC 😂 but this was great.. the chemistry of these two is unmatched 💯 it was hilarious, it was heartwarming and it jus makes me wish they still did a show together.. i like RC but it's just not the same.. i enjoyed this very much 😆💯👏👏
"Dont do that, dont Ever do that" classic DC
It was like a big brother barking at a little brother warning him 😂
Lol he did get a lil ruff with Ariel there. 😅
Why does he get like that? So weird
@@chrisg9615 you're weird
@@swagmeister6489 Nah I agree with Chris G too. He did the same thing to Francis Ngannou. That is weird
Man, I love DC. Dude is just really down to earth, super funny and he's honest. Even if he isn't a fan of Jones as a person, he still says a lot of good things about him as a fighter because he believes them to be true. We need the DC and Ariel show back!
Well... yes he believes them to be true, but also its good to talk up your opponents regardless of loss or win. Makes your own record look great. You would be hard pressed to find a clip of people like Mayweather talking bad about their opponents. What DC doesn't like to admit is that the new age of fighters is just flat out better. It's really hard to compare the eras because the game has changed so so so much. Jones best win was DC after looking at his resume now after the fact. Glover, and Anthony smith are still doing things, but Reyes has looked poor, sonnen was a joke fight, belfort disappeared, Gustaffson getting schooled. These older era fighters are getting trounced by the new.
@@Goblin1986p it's more that lhw and hw are forever shallow divisions. Any decent athlete is headed for a career in sports that pays well. Jones came up and cleaned out a bunch of aged legends who were basically all mws. Sonnen and Belfort were actual mws. Anthony Smith and Reyes are just not elite, Glover came to UFC as an ancient person already. Gus was decent for a time but rumble took that soul, doubt he was ever the same after that ko. DC really did add a lot of credibility to Jones resume. If Jones beats nagoo I'll shut up, but it's tough to consider Jones the goat despite his damn near perfect record. Who's relevant at lhw now that you consider to be part of a new era?
I have to ask, who the hell is a fan of Jones as a man? Dudes a legitimate monstrous person, a menace to society and his family especially
Let's be honest --> Who IS a fan of JJ as a person?
@@rockyevans1584 Magomed is up there honestly
This just puts a smile on my face, DC AND HELWANI ARE BACK 🔥🔥
So wholesome watching these two together again
These guys got me through the pandemic!
So happy Cain is home with his family
If he was my dad I’d be pissed at him for risking his family losing him Forever by doing something so stupid and going to prison for 20 to life
@@Jamesfrancosdog yeah you would perfer he let a guy molest you and done nothing about it, great parenting
You do know the person he murdered was a completely innocent man? How disgusting can you be to support this guy?
@@stephenpigot7947 i mean a man thats raising, defending and standing up for his son who literally touches kids and you STILL allow him to work with kids isn’t necessarily ‘completely innocent’
@@stephenpigot7947 Cain did not murder anyone, he just shot them. And that "innocent man" that got shot is the pedophiles dad, who operated the daycare and had just bailed his pedo son out of jail. He's guilty too probably
We need this once a month MMA gods
Forgot how much I missed the show with you both. Genuinely was my go to every week, favorite mma show!!
Miss DC&HELWANI so freaking much
DC freaking out over hugs but he's a wrestler and literally hugged men all his life. Great interview
PTSD 😂
i once met dc when i was a little too intoxicated to be meeting famous people lol, it was right after jones popped after beating him, i told him he was the real champ, and got a hug while he was in a hurry to get out of there. dude isn't that big in reality, but he'll crush you with that hug.
@@the.wayne.b You intoxicated now?
😂😂😂😂 Ariel so happy to see DC. Can’t stop huggin him.
Yo DC a legend. One of the greatest HWs in my opinion. His striking was so good and his wrestling obviously levels above.
I agree. Well said.
There's a strong argument he's the best hw of all time. Speed and power, made the giants look slow as hell and had the strength to toss around big boys like Barnett. Amazing stuff
@Jay Russ ballot*
He was a 5’11” faster, more talented Cejudo.
Honestly, if he didn't change weight classes because of being friends with Cain, I think he would be known as the greatest heavyweight of all time instead of stipe. Hell, he beat stipe when he was out of his prime, and almost beat him twice, until stipe made a great change in his game plan.
Man we need these two back. Just once per week or even once a month. Perfect Duo of MMA
I miss these 2 doing DC & Helwani ... this was such good Nostalgia
This was absolutely great to watch! May the MMA GODS bless us with more of DC & Helwani
Inside mma with Kenny and bas way better
Helwani turn bright red when he saw DC. He really loves him :)
This is legit because no matter the situation, I feel like these two are deep down genuine friends. Where they also share a bond between them and a unique lifestyle/sport of martial arts.
Daniel didn’t want Ariel to hurt his back trying to pick him up probably 😂😂😂
just arrived home (in the late am's) tired and kinda drunk and high, watching this as a great throwback for when DC and Helwani were a thing and this is a great time to watch and chill, please more of this thing!
Oh my god this was great to watch 😂😂😂 Come back DC!!!
Man this made Mondays so awesome. Still love the show today but DC and Helwani was electric. Hearing Ariel say "I would be remiss.." and go over the days made me smile.
Who could possibly not like DC? Dude is so authentic and down to earth, you've gotta love him.
Dc and Helwani was the show we needed at the right time, always will be missed
Amen got me through the first year of covid
Friendship goals, this conversation flowed wonderfully
Simply, amazing. You guys have true chemistry -- just flows so naturally.
That was really awkward when he said to never try and pick him up…”thats enough, thats enough” he really meant it.
I never missed one of their shows - brought a smile to my face to watch them back in action
What a fantastic stream! Great reunion. I used to love watching DC & Ariel on ESPN. Those two and Chael were the best things ESPN had. Now, all that remains is DC. Hope these two can meet up at least a few times every year. Ariel will be a fantastic guest on Daniel’s YT channel.
ESPN wouldn't let dc have 10-7 heel wanni on his show
Bro these 2 are the most entertaining Duo .bring back dc&helwani
I just had a big freaking smile the entire time of this video. Just wholesome stuff. Miss this duo so much
I was watching these two every Monday. Perfect together..
This was awesome so happy seeing DC
DC and Helwani!! Man I miss those days!! These guys vibe off each other so well!!!! "DC You Better Be Back Monday Son " - Ariel Heelwani!!!!
How awesome was this!?! Missed the banter between these two.
These two are gems on their own. What a hilarious duo! Thank you for the entertainment, gents.
I could listen to these 2 for hours. DC & Helwani!!
The old dream team is back.
this was an emotional episode for me love these two
Perfect bedtime interview, hope we see more of these two as well
Man they keep us together for a year and a half during the pandemic. I miss these two 😅
This is so awesome, please bring them back, PLEASE!
Super dope to see you guys back together! Thee best chemistry! Please find a way to bring back your show together! Really enjoyed this vid
DC is literally so inviting in the way he talks....what a good dude
This Jake Hager part has me rolling in tears 🤣🤣🤣
This reminds me of how much I use to enjoy the duo.
This was soooo good! I was laughing throughout the whole video. They have great chemistry! Please come back DC!!!
We need you guys together again.
I forgot how much I loved these two together! I remember listening to them through the start of the pandemic
Yall got me through the pandemic like everyone else in this comment section its seems 🔥🔥 great 2 see yall back in action
Best MMA talk Duo ever!
DC is 100% CLASS!!!!! Salute
MAN BRING THE SHOW BACK!!!
DC really makes the whole UFC scene wholesome lol great positive character
DC and Helwani was truly great. Thank you for this little reminder.
Needed like 2 more hours of this.
Ariel made that bit awkward delighted for CAIN
I wish you two could just make another show i missed this i legit could watch you two go at it all day long again
One my Fav duo's in the Biz.... Thanks for another one.
I miss this duo!
I'm all in for DC and Ariel Reunion!!!!
Great to see them back together! 🥰🙏
watched it from start to finish no skips on rewinds 🔥🔥🔥
This reunion didn’t disappoint
Love you two.
this was awesome. that’s it. i truly hope he’s back Monday
The chemistry of these two 😂😂
Man I so mad. It makes me miss the old show so much.
Man I miss this! These two are a must watch every time they get together! You guys HAVE to do a 2.0!! Come on Helwani!!!
What a great interview, love the chemistry!
🎶 Reunited and it feels so good 🎶
Honestly DC: you are the first modern era UFC fighter, besides the classics like Dan Severn, to make me appreciate the wrestling style MMA. Besides that I have a bunch of respect for you. The way you treat people, especially. The way you welcome people who are different in culture race etc than yourself. To me, America needs more role models, like you. I know we as fans only see what is presented but... I trust my gut. Ariel you too, but I'm biased 🇨🇦
Dc is an incredible human. Love watching him with ppl he considers friends, khabib, islam, ariel etc. the laughs, conversation an chemistry jus flow perfectly.
“You’re gonna put Amanda nunes and Muhammad Ali on the same list” 😂😂😂
These two are both passionate about Mix Martial Arts and really messy. Makes their chemistry entertaining.
Astute observation!
Please come back Monday, DC. Love you guys together
I like Cain's perspective on jail. That's so true! It definitely will humble you, create a whole new outlook on life and you learn to appreciate things you most likely take for granted every day. Glad he's free!
Being on a GPS monitor on home confinement knowing you are still facing trial with the likelihood of going back is far from being free.
@@shawnarnold9972 still better than being inside
@@darekkabaja2 But not free!
I love the chemistry between DC and Ariel 😂😂😂
DC can handle Ariel's shenanigans 😂
The wholesomeness is unrivaled
Great interview Great to see y'all back together again
Walking out of jail is the most unbelievable feeling, and not knowing when you're going home is the most tortuous feeling imaginable
I remember getting out after only doing a few months and it was crazy feeling cant imagine what it would feel like after years locked up
@@ChrisMcloviification Yeah I only did 2 months, but those 2 months felt like an eternity and walking out of that building was like a new lease on life. I can't even fathom what doing even a year let alone 10 or 20 would be like
I miss them doing a show 😢
DC is my all time favorite fighter. It started when he was tearing through some real guys at heavyweight. Then when he got to ufc I got to see what kind of man he is. I was sold after that.
DC & Helwani on Monday...the best one...really miss it
Man I miss the old show with these two. This was cool. :)
I would be remiss… Ahhhhh, the good old days 😄
This made me smile . A lot
I love Daniel Cormier sooo much keep him safe at all costs
Ariel playing it safe with those glasses, dont wanna tempt dc to eyepoke him.
Expensive Cain
it feels soon good 2 see you 2 together again!
This was wholesome and really good!!
Sou brasileiro🇧🇷. Cain é um herói. Não poderia ter passado por isso. Qualquer pai ficaria louco em saber que sua filha foi abusada tantas vezes. Cain, venha ao Brazil. Te amamos cara. 🇧🇷
*spoiler* he really didnt eat the sandwitch
Please, please, please!!! Please bring these dudes back together!! Miss these guys
Pls more of this. So fun
“Dude I said we don’t talk as much as we used to that’s implying that I miss you” - Ariel is like a child or girlfriend looking for direct reassurance of love
I think its his stick
@@ChrisMcloviification yes kinna self-deprecating
