Long time mma fans know how much of a milestone this interview is for these two
2018 summer be like
What do you mean? They discussed their altercation prior to DC winning the HW title. DC has spoken about it. That's the whole reason Brock was there. He even said in an interview he messaged brock and said you pushed me too hard and hurt his neck 😂 You didn't hear their long time history in the interview? They've seen each other multiple times over the years. They have a good relationship.
Lies again? Reflection Journal Suzuki Car
Yessir
Choosing DC is Just Absolutely Amazing
WHAT!? BROCK & DC finally at side by side in WWE!! 🤯
It was a work. They fooled us all
@@Greeneggszit's always been business buddy, some fans are just too blind to see
@@ChevyGuy78 yeah
DC would ragdoll Brock inside the octagon
@@ShahPhilLeotardo No one asked
You can see how much respect they have for each other. Legendary athletes 🙌
they grew up with each other ...they have history together before they become something...it's natural to have this respect in this case...
How can you not like these two!!?
Daniel Cormier is a much bigger UFC legend though arguably top 5 but Lesnar is one of the greatest late starters in MMA history but also DC is
Lies again? Most Handsome In Sports Entertainment
Why didn’t they fight in the ufc? They were going to
Brock doesn't give interview to a nobody, he gives an interview to someone he respects alot
Dc happens to be his old friend so yeah
DC living his best life, not everyone gets a brock interview 😂😂
100😂
You could probably count on one hand how many people have had a 1 to 1 interview with Brock
Yes but no better man to do it. people forget DC is just as bad if not more bad then brock. The man bet stipe for the ufc heavyweight championship.
@@callummoulstone5233 can only remember Ariel, stone cold and mcafee
DC is a legend in his own right
Brock's longevity has been amazing, Just a freakish athlete

This feels like a real chat rather than a character interview like most others, fantastic job DC and Brock 👏
I agree, it flowed and covered a lot in a short amount of time without feeling rushed.
I remember Brock making his debut all those years ago. His physique blew my mind. The combination of his size, speed and general athleticism was awe inspiring. I was a Rock fan and hated this upstart but wow he was and still is amazing. What a specimen of a man.
Same here (except for disliking him because I was a fan of the Rock). Brock had the most eye catching physique to hit WWE since 1980s Hulk Hogan
He fooking huge man
Yup that's what riods can do my boy.
Same here man. Tore me up when he beat the Rock but then I fell in love with Brock. Been a great 23 years
His physique from 15 is something built by the gods.
Brock's interviews when he's actually being himself and not the WWE superstar monster. He's actually a nice dude humble and really funny
Of course he’s humble my guy, growing up in a farm humbles anyone.
@Karl Shwab money does the opposite of humble.
@Proudyfoot not everyone is weak minded some people taken it for granite
@@proudyfoot elbmuh?
His interview with Pat McAfee is really good he's a funny humble country man who just loves working his farm and hunting. He also knows his worth and is very business savvy
We don’t get it often but I love it when brock gives a interview. He’s been in our lives so long but we’ve rarely seen him talk to the media. Don’t no how long he has left but it’s been quite a ride. Still get chills when he’s music hits. One from the old school, Austin Rock Taker & Brock. When that theme hits we all become kids again
he should have a lot of time left. he's not that old
Yeah I'm getting Stone Cold vibes from him lately.
You seen the Brock’s interview with Pat McAfee, that’s a great one.
I was at Wrestlemania 39, the pop was fantastic, crowd went NUTs, Edge was even better, 80k people singing that song lol
Fr
The fact that these two have known eachother for over 20 years is HILARIOUS
I used to like Brock Lesnar, but now I like him even more. What a legend!
Aged well
Finally at this point of his career, Brock legit looks happily relieved, enjoying his success. Dude started to smile, talk and go candid. Legends respect each other, I also like how MMA and Wrestling comes around at full circle some point...
The shared roots between MMA and Pro Wrestling should never be denied.
He doesnt look at all ok, he looks stressed, and sick maybe, you can see he s breathing heavy and coughs.
MMA pretty much wrestling now anyway with the persona's,just not predetermined. UFC could learn alot from Vince about presentation,the merger was smart.
This is the most I've ever seen brock talk and be comfortable doing so.
@@vincentmcgettigan7948MMA and Pro Wrestling have always been linked.
Brock, Rock, Austin, Taker, Goldberg - These folks were different. Will be missed
AGREED
💯
Goldberg? He should be in the same category as the other ones. Goldberg is trash and never had a good match, he can’t wrestle, he can’t cut a promo, he’s straight garbage
To be honest Goldberg shouldn't be in list because he can't wrestle he almost kill undertaker
@@1SKB the Rock isn’t a great wrestler neither
Both his debuts for WWF & the UFC was amazing . His sheer size is definitely an intimidating factor , apart from the fact is freakishly athletic . Man can't believe he's had a 20+ career wrestling & fighting . Huge milestone that few touch .
He finally seems at peace and content. For years I got the impression that he hated wrestling and was only in it for the money. Nice to see that he actually has some love for it.
Maybe you didn't get to see him on the McAfee show a couple years ago? Same guy. Just wanting to be left alone away from the 🐂💩🤷🏿♂️
Love to see Brock happy and so open with the mutual respect regardless of their little in cage run in at UFC
That was fake. C’mon dude.
@@OhSoNasty it was 100% a work. They’ve been friends for decades
@@Strawman333 it wasn't fake rather it was all apart of the show. Brock just wanted to hype everything up and if the fight had gone down they would have had a laugh afterwards
@@ibbixp3boy418 it was definitely a setup tho.😂
@@jimpin6655 I don't think it was a setup but they improvised and went along for the promo.
Brock is special. It’s going to be a sad day when he retires. Glad I was able to follow his career when I was younger
The WWE will never be the same
@@adavos7 That's why the WWE merged with the UFC
Yeah I don't watch pro wrestling. But im glad I grew up watching this guy at his prime perform
@@kalashnikovz65 Who Asked You🤔
@@PAPITOFLOW6969balls
Brock never forgets his humble beginnings 💪
There is size, there is speed, there is strength…then there is PURE EXPLOSIVE POWER. Brock personifies power. Such an enormous athlete.

Seeing DC and Brock together makes me happy
I never knew DC and Brock actually knew each other back when they were in HS/Junior college
I love these two. They're such good friends. ❤️❤️ This wasn't a formal boring interview. It was a real chat between two good old friends.
This is the first time I seen Brock soo comfortable and laid back in a interview. He held a good one on the McAfee show awhile back
DC building his way up to that Jon Jones interview 😁😊
DC and Brock were never actually enemies.
@@LambSauceWillwhat abt the octagon push
@@amaris05_ nothing but hype.
@@amaris05_ Go back and watch that. I think your memory is making that situation more hostile than it actually was. A professional wrestler entering the octagon to confront a huge wrestling fan. Both who have mutual connections with each other in the collegiate wrestling world. The only thing “real” between DC and Brock was Brock’s rivalry with Cain Valasquez (DC’s teammate). Aside from that, DC and Brock were always cool. Maybe not total friends but they were always cool. They knew a fight in the UFC would do crazy numbers because of their backgrounds.
They will sit down at some point, just like Ali and Frasier eventually did, despite the absolute bitterness during their fight time.
I saw a 285lbs Brock do a picture perfect shooting star press in 2000 at OVW's Christmas Chaos. It's still the most impressive display of athleticism I've seen.
Truly one of the greatest athletes of all time
He was not 285 lol more like 260s at that time
@@kingLuu816 that was a BIG lesnar. MUCH bigger than the 265 lesnar who weighed in for ufc bro.
@@im_cold_blooded he was leaner not bigger
@@GG-ng6zm go back and watch OVW lesnar again bro. He was visibly much thicker. Legs, lats, everything was bigger on his frame during that time.
This discussion feels like a genuine convo between friends. Nice job, DC. Love the growth of your channel. Well deserved.
I sincerely believe that if Brock Lesnar started 10 years earlier with his MMA training and dedicated entirely towards MMA, he could've been the best ever. And as a heavyweight no little guy would've had a chance to beat him. It is amazing how Brock managed to fight at the top of the top level, held a UFC gold, given the fact he was only a national US champion college wrestler and a pro wrestler with practically no background in boxing, muai thai and jui-jitsu. Add his belly problems and related surgery that tortured him during his MMA career, and you will understand what type of warrior Brock actually is. Cormier is a great fighter and deserved champion, I give him that, but if they fight to the death I put my money on Brock. Especially if there is no USADA and that stupid 265 heavyweight limit. Brock is just a beast, he will bring 300 pounds of muscle that in contrast to bodybuilders, actually have explosive power, toughness and endurance.
300lbs would be a much better limit
DC subs him in the first come on man
Whoa, a rare Brock Lesnar interview and it's with DC! Man's very well spoken.
Brock and dc sitting down and talking is crazy 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love to see these 2 together and the respect they must hold for each other. 2 human bulls sitting side by side... 2 legends.
This warmed my heart on so many levels just two kids reminiscing on the past and present.
The ufc fight we needed lol. Wouldn't mind a wwe match with them.
WWE probably would just feed DC to Brock like they did with Cain
@@computerartist0072 fax
@@computerartist0072 That was the most disappointing match in all of WWE.
When Cain took his shirt off in his debut Vince immediately decided to bury him 😂
@@Kingofthekop1 poor cain lol I already forgot about that.
This felt like DC’s best sit down interview- questions felt honest and natural, unforced
Fun fact: Brock has appeared in every single major show this year...so far. For anyone who says Brock doesn't love the business, he just proved all y'all wrong. Yes, for years Brock said he does this for the money but he's grown to really enjoy it and become a fan. That's why he's been in the WWE for as long as he has. He's grateful for the business that made him a megastar. There isn't anyone like him. He's legit once In a life time athlete.
Daniel, this is a great interview. I'm really seeing Brock Lesnar down-to-earth and simple without any sort of tough guy fighting attitude. It's amazing sometimes to see you fighters sit around and talk calmly like average every day people without any hint of tough guy attitude.
Love that Brock is still humble about everything
This is a huge surprise and I love it.
Legendary interview ...2 Legends side by Side
“Lets hash a deal out” we all know the terms of that deal now don’t we brock 🤣🤣
Brock is someone who has “it” people are almost magnetically drawn to him and have been since his wwf debut. Whether it was in the ufc when he sold the most ppvs or wwe where he’s been a headliner for 20 years he’s must see tv. Weird thing is he isnt a super charismatic talker like Conor or the rock it’s just something about his presence.
His look and the purpose, athleticism and ferocity with which he moves is just impossible to not be enthralled by
DC would destroy Brock inside the octagon.
Brock doesn't need mouth His presence is intimidating itself more than little Conor or the rock People are scared of this near 300lb animal
Something about his presence??? DUH! He is one of the most freakish talents we have ever seen when he first came in the WWE, he was the LeBron of his time or the Jon Jones of his era and still impressive till this day
@@ShahPhilLeotardo not a pre diverticulitis brock 😂
OMG!! Finally THE Interview we have ALL been waiting for. Years in the making. YESSS!! BROCK DC🔥🔥🔥💪
Go watch the pat McAfee show with Brock on it. Really good interview, Brock is cool asf
This is amazing seeing these two have a genuine conversation… if you didn’t know they were pushing eachother and arguing a while back in UFC
This is a great interview between two great athletes.
Brock is the definition of athletic dude been around tossing people like pillows since I was like 14 I'm 30 now..or am I doing my math wrong lol
1st time i watched him was at that King of the Ring way back in 2002 against Bubba Ray. im 34 now. we old man.
I was thinking the same.. I was about 12 or younger but "here comes the pain" was a Playstation game Now I'm 30 and a man and still get to see him kill it
Wish this interview was longer.
This interview shows how it is when ur friends with Brock and how your interactions would be without cameras on, great guy
This interview is sick getting these 2 together well done folks 👏
Brock is giving me modern day Kratos vibes...more calm and relaxed compared to the young Brock.
More like magni son of thor
actually a hood analogy
Brock went on the Shrooms
@@gtaone1838shrooms are fun
Ya know Brock post 2020 has been a real treat. Dude seems to genuinely be having a lotta fun with what he’s doing. Big respect💯🙌
You can feel the mutual respect between the pair. 2 tough blokes.
Wow DC you're a talented UFC announcer , KZhead just recommended this video and I have to say what an interview. Skills !!!! Love your personality DC , friendly , laughing smiling , and you ask GREAT questions and keep the vibe fluid. 👏👏👏
Brock Lesnar Wearing A Megadeth Shirt. Is Dangerous!
And business is good! 😎
Yep he's a huge Metallica fan as well.
Pantera puts both those bands to shame
@@rickymassey Slayer is better than these girls.
Y u say that
Two UFC legends, Heavyweights in an interview. The history between Brock and DC goes way back and in 2018 when Brock pushed DC inside of the octagon 🥶. Love seeing respect between these two Heavyweight champions of the UFC.

cant believe its already been 5 years.
Goes back a bit further than that
Brock not so good add ufc.
I love the wrestling historians these two are. You can see they have nothing but respect for their careers both junior and professional.
Bro i love wrestling. Love seeing Brock in action. To the point I have rewatched his matches so many times
Wow, what an interview. It shows how Brock has accepted and embraced his stature in the professional wrestling industry. He came back for the money but you can see and hear how much he's grown into his role and now is all about giving back to the business that made his name. Hats off to Brock.
The last of the great era wrestlers left in the wwe
Just a humble amazing dude🙏🏻 these two are a legend
I see a lot of mutual respect from two athletes who seem to enjoy a chat or two every once in a while. You can see the chemistry there.
This was a great interview, most people don't understand why, but the reason is the respect brock has for dc coming from the same sport he came from. True and pure respect for each other and an honest conversation with guards let down.
Look at these guys chuckling like best friend, so wholesome.
Two greatest names of combat world.Two absolute gems.Thank you for everything.
Wonderful interview DC does a great job and Brock was very open and seemed to enjoy this talk
The interview i didn't expect DC & Brock love it !
Never see Brock in this light , it's amazing to see brock being this vulnerable n humble
I enjoyed this interview, Brock is such a very humble person in real life than he portray in WWE.
Thanks Brock and Daniel for this classic interview
It is rare to see Brock's interviews. Thanks for making this out!
Brock is actually one of the greatest combat/athletic entertainment superstars that have ever existed. I love this guy😂 good on you Brock
Brock Lesnar is the living example of IF YOU HAVE THE DEDICATION AND ATTITUDE, YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING IN LIFE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was an exceptionally good interview. I don't know if Brock would've opened up like that to anyone other than DC.
They sound like old high school classmates catching up many a years later
Pat mc afee is the one that Brock opened to alot
Watch the Brock interview with pat mcafee it’s like an hour he opens up a lot
Yeah the pat McAfee interview was really good with Brock too
I think Brock respects other athletes and not random dirt sheet guys.
Brock so awesome. For years been wanting him to speak for us fans. Really a wonderful role model.
As a fan of Wrestling and MMA this makes hella happy
Glad he’s giving Omos chance to shine Looks like he won’t stop there
I barely graduated high school,and came from a hard working family mentality.I totally understand these two greats.👍😎👍
It’s so different to see Brock all natural talking wow, I always see him being so cold 🥶
Im so happy to them back together peacefully.. from foe to friendship
I love brock ❤ so happy how humble he is
We need more candid interviews from Lesnar. Give him his flowers now for his unprecedented run of consistency & dominance. Salute!
Love seeing these two together.
Remember when these two give us that great Promo in UFC 😂
I wish these two lads had a UFC fight
For me I think Breaking the streak of undertaker was one of the greatest things Brock lesnar did
*_Thank you very much!_* ✌🏻🔥
This was a very cool interview!!!
It would’ve been awesome if they reacted to their octagon scuffle back in 2018
It was for show, everyone knows
@@Snippets635 you’d be surprised, not even DCs coach knew it was an act. Some people are actually dumb 😂
Well it has nothing to with the wrestlemania press conference tho
I love these two athletes! The mutual respect is 🔥🔥🔥
I love how they are such cool guys having a chat. WWE is such a good story with these matches and careers. And then mma is such a good fight brock has done a great job.
Daniel Cormier is the perfect interviewer for WWE, already feels like a great partnership
love brock lesner what an animal and true warrior miss the guy in mma seeing him compete in the octagon made the hw division larger then life
Dc the man for doing these wwe interviews 😅
Two Living Legends.
BROCK SEEMS SO COOL YOU CAN TELL THERE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS THAT'S AWESOME
i love him so much. we are so lucky till this day to still be able to see him perform. he’s the best to ever do it. 🖤
Once in a lifetime athlete, the complete package, the destroyer Brock Lesnar
Definitely the GOAT!
Bby girl
Man what a great interview!!! Must be the first time that Brock is so honest. I like this 👍
Been watching Brock since his pro wrestling debut. He is a legend.
I have a new found respect for Brock and how humble his beginnkngs were
Dude delivered like always at Mania. A trip to Suplex City and of course the exit to the F5. To lift a giant up like that at 45 years of age and still in great shape. THE BEAST!🔥
So nice to see DC and Brock at Wrestlemania. It's so unexpected but he's a great fighter, great interviewer and just a cool guy. Never would have expected him at a pro wrestling event.
