Man, what an absolute roller-coaster of emotions this video took me on. I'm a father, so I can only imagine how devastating losing a child must be. Somehow overcoming a tragedy of that magnitude proves that DC is a truly strong man in all of the metrics that matter. Great video, Clenched Teeth!
Thank you for watching! As a father myself, I feel you. My respect for DC went up 10x while I was working on this video.
@@clenchedteeth wow i had no idea, thank you, im a father too
History will be very kind to Mr. Daniel Cormier. Two division champion, a golden color commentator, clean fighter, a role model and a model family guy. Dude literally runs a freee-of-cost wrestling academy for children of all ages.
“ We never have a clean journey … that’s where you figure out who you are “ that was what’s up .
I hate seeing Daniel Cormier crying after Jon Jones beat him. He performed well against Jones and didn’t abuse PEDs like Jones does.
Jones tested positive for cocaine, then tested positive for an amount that is scientifically impossible.... Which was later proven to be a false reading from a product in an OTC product. I love cormier without ever having to convince myself that he could have ever beat Jon jones. Because he couldn't. But that's beside the fact. Jon jones is the greatest fighter ever. Daniel cormier is an instant hall of fame fighter, he's just not the greatest ever.
@@moresomoze ok Joe Rogan. I’m sure Jones hid under a ring for 12 plus hours to avoid a drug test for some OTC pills. You are definitely Gullible
@@moresomoze OTC pills. Sure buddy lol. Gullible fool.
@@moresomozecope harder
I have grown to like the guy too. Never understood him for years. Still probably don't but I like him
DC will forever be better man than Jones ever can be. Jones is gifted and born to be a fighter.DC is born to be a champ
Jon still better tho
Whatever makes you sleep at night john jones Destroyed him
@@Ddddd49 Yes bro with illegal PEDs Because jon is a pussy
If your born gifted you don’t need any PED’s… he was a good fighter who cheated to win numerous times and was successful
Dc isn't a better man than Jones. He just had to find some way to say he was better than Jones and the moral high ground is the only place where there's even a possibility.
Somehow one of the most underrated UFC careers.
True that
Because of Jones. DC was a warrior and no one could take that away. Even when Jon got popped for PED DC immediately wanted to sign a release and fight him anyways.
I'd say THE MOST. Bro is easily top 6 and yet somehow not in the GOAT discussion? Like even ARGUABLY???
Yeah
@@getroasted7907 I know man, he's an absolute goat of goats. Jones was clearly on peds, you dont be at that level of the game and have ZERO testosterone in your system while at the same time having traces of turinabol in him..... Not having it!
Fuck yeah I was just watching some of his fights yesterday! Glad to see new material bro❤ THANKS!!
Thanks for the support brother! 👍
Definitely ❤
This is so great!! DC’s a real one. Your channel is super underrated btw, deserves more attention… PS, a Lyoto Machida video would be sick lol
Thanks man! I’ll put Machida on my list. 👍
@@clenchedteeth PLEASE !
@@clenchedteeth he was my fav fighter when i first got into UFC The dragon would be a great add.
DC is a true role model. Glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves :)
I wasn’t a fan of Daniel at first but then I respected him and his skills and became a huge fan
UFC professional researchers analyzed Cormiers head and noted the unusual shape allowed less frontal area for straight punches.
This made me have a whole new appreciation for DC! Dude is definitely a class act and a true champion in life!
Dude DC is one of the most humble guys in UFC....also he most of the times appreciate Jones not cursing him for the loss he is a true champ🤜🤛
DC is the kind of warrior the sport really needs. He is an amazing fighter with such raw talent, honed through years of combat. He persevered through so many battles and overcame so much through force of will alone. He loves his sport and he loves his family and he loves his community. He puts his money where his mouth is and he has shown the world what a true champion looks like. Thanks for all the amazing fights DC!
A lot of people slept on DC, and it never made sense to me. Because, he never ducked a fight and always put on a show whether he won or lost!!! I didn't know that he lost his first child though, that had to so hard to deal with!!! 💯💯💯🚫🐂💩
Super important video. People forget or even dont know that Cormier is not only his fuede with jon jones.
How can anyone hate on this man?? I’ll never forget getting to meet him in person while he was preparing for the first Stipe fight. SO thankful I got to tell him how much he means to me. Inspiration for life!
I think in the ufc so many people were so worried about his wrestling that they forgot about up top and he took advantage of that. One of my all time favourite fighters
Another great video, DC was always my favorite fighter in the UFC. How can you hate a guy who willingly stepped in the ring with giants at his size! Thank you!!
To go through all of this and still have a more positive outlook on life than most humans is what made me go from a hater to a fan. Still not a fan of the Bias commentary but that's just a man supporting his team and teammates
I know ❤❤
Amazing doco like usual, im so glad D.C is getting his story told and showing the struggles and the resilients of the man and determination if the human spirit. Will be remembered as one of the all time greats!
Always glad when you drop a new video, love your coverage of these fighter's life's and careers. DC is an legend, glad he's still part of the UFC family.
Thanks for the support! Truly appreciated!
Brother amazing work keep it up!! Pretty good damn material 🎉🎉
Thank you for making the DC he deserves. So much detail and captures the essence of him. Absolute legend DC. Glad I was lucky enough to be a fan during this Era of the ufc.
GOAT
Another banger, G. Thank you very much for all the hardwork you put into it 🙏🌺.
Would really like to see DC’s reaction to this video, I think he’d really appreciate the detail you put into it.
Bro was the goat if Jon didn't existed
Jones is one of the biggest cheats and steroid abusers in mma history. He doesn’t belong on anyone’s goat list.
He is jon just used steroids
@@kaweeshwara6665not to mention he also had every physical advantage on him too. Height. Reach. Age and then the dude has to cheat 💀
DC put jon through hell in both fights, even with jon on steroids, and the extreme reach and height disadvantage
@@icecoldfire25 12" more reach nonetheless.
I was unaware of the personal challenges DC had faced which makes his UFC rise even more impressive.
Keep these vids coming!!!!! 🔥
💪
Hyped for the new vid already liked it and i jist started the vid
Thanks brother! 🙏
This was awesome ,great work !
DC is a leader at and in life, teaching a younger generation both how to win and accept defeat is a huge part of growing up and is severely lacking these days. I love DC, I love his enthusiasm about wrestling and MMA
Subbed man! I just finished the whole thsng gorrsmn it’s a masterpiece i just realized how much i love the dc
Welcome aboard!
AMAZING VIDEO
Watching DC in strike force back in the day is crazy now seeing what he became.
I never understood why they don't test a fighter's urine/blood for all banned substances before the actual fight. Makes no sense to do it so close to the fight that all the results won't be back in time.
Fantastic video as always! DC is forever etched into the history of combat sports
I’ve always loved DC but I had no idea about his daughter. Even at work I couldn’t hold back the tears for that one. ❤️
Great video.. DC's the man
Great video
Awsome content
A great guy a great fighter and always had a clean career U have to respect this man and his skills
Great documentary, really did DC justice and a pleasure to watch. Thank you ❤
The best mixed martial arts channel ever such quality content and also great story teller
I appreciate that! Thanks man!
I didnt realise Rumble put the belt around DC after he lost to him! Thats great sportsmanship RIp Anthony Rumble Johnson
NGL, not just because of his skills , achievements, belts etc that are amazing, its Daniels way of carrying himself through life, a role model of a man, a father and a man in control of his feelings and actions, got the utter most respect for him though I don't know him, I feel like I do. LEGENDARY
Excellent biography. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for watching!
@@clenchedteeth 1st time watching and I was thoroughly entertained. Will not be the last time, for sure.
amazing work!!
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful video
Exceptional
bruh the intro is goated
A great man and a great fighter.
Your videos are so good ive gotten my girlfriend into ufc more thanks to you!
That's awesome! (I can’t get my own wife into the UFC tho 😅)
I love this man. He is a father to his kids, badass motherfucker in the ring, Funny, loyal, and to go what he went threw losing a child and parent's (rough childhood to say the least). Thanks for this great content
I miss the years when DC was active. He was such an entertaining fighter to watch in the octagon.
what fighter ! but what a man. Absolute legend
One thing is sure, he couldn't have done it better. Incredible fighter, impressive champion and unbelievable human being.
Great!
While I'm a better than peripheral fan of mma, I'm not a SUPER F'N FAN of it, but... I've been a fan of DC for a bit now. This vid does nothing but help that. ✌🏼🤘🏼
My glorious king 👑
My favorite fighter of all time. The amount of adversity this man has overcome is truly inspiring. This guy would have every right to be a negative and cynical person. But hes not. A man of exceptional character.
the one and only champ that live act and represent what champ must be respect goat
Cormier is one of a kind. I watched him go from beating Jeff Monson to being double champion inside the UFC, and it was not a surprise. He was built for this. The guy is a class act, a GREAT human being...and an absolute LEGEND.
Dc would be a dope ass dad
DC is an all-time GOAT
Hell yeahhhhhh!
DC is what a Martial Artist should be. A man that had every right to be a bitter and bad person but he turned out as a good and positive person. He shows that the bad stuff in life make us who we are. Pressure makes diamonds. DC is a role model for everyone and we should strive to be like him. A great champion, a great father and a great coach.
I absolutely love D.C. .... first off cause his good father and then a good human . His a good man , and a absolutely legend in mma 👏. My son looks up to him as do I... DC if you read this brother .. jus want you to know we love you ... your winning bro 🎉
To me, in all the best ways, he’s the Charles Barkley of MMA
So dope to be the huge underdog replacement to sweep the tourney
I watched D.C knock big foot out cold in Cincinnati....loved it!!! Sounds like a shotgun going off my man has crazy power
I LOVE DC!!!!!!
JJ fans be dissing DC way too much after watching this video I love this man even more, somehow one of the more underrated UFC fighters
Once a cowboy, always a cowboy! We love you DC!
How can you not like DC!
DC looked so fucking funny as a kid lol
Didn't we all. I still look funny
Jon Jones can never beat DC in consistency of character & drive to elevate others
Great Video you should make a Dustin Poirier career doc
Thanks man! I have Dustin on my list! 👍
DC is a great American 🇺🇸 Love that guy.
DC🖤
14:45 Herb Dean tried to stear the pot! 😂😂
Great vid, whats the song used at 1:28 ?
maturing is realising that daniel was the good guy
Its a shame Strikeforce went away, when you think about it their roster arguably just as good as the UFC's. So many of their fighters went on to become UFC champs or legends of the sport. It's too bad we dont have them here today I think they had a chance to grow into something special.
DC's fight against Volkan is my favorite fight of DC just because of the comeback from the jones KO, DC was just different In that fight.
Love Cormier, he tossed around 205ers like nothing, had a great chin and seems like a tremendous guy! To be so short and with such bad reach at those divisions is tough but he did so well considering. Which takes a great fighter. Although he is built like a brick shit house, his shoulders and traps are absolutely toned. Super well rounded guy and even his initials stands for Double Champ! DC!
In my opinion dc is my fav fighter edit he also show me that you can eat some burgers and still go to the top now I don’t feel as bad when I’m eating kebab or burger or pizza
Ive always liked DC, the guys a f#@%in beast.
I did not know DC wrestled at a Kansas community college!
DC - forever the peoples champ
❤
1:12 what is that song called?
Bones is thee master in close quarters. Those high head kicks with just a couple feet in between him & Cormier are deadly. If u got the balance and flexibility for that type of power in short range it sends fear into hearts 🥰
No one asked
I never understood how he was booed when he fought Jones.
📌 Watch next 👉 Dan Henderson: kzhead.info/sun/acarqrGAfpZ-a4k/bejne.htmlsi=PdZDvjnETpQSutE-
pin your comment btw
❤❤
As a fan of DC it would be best not to mention his commentary Career.
18:54 jones is in a cycle. Yes, yes he sure is on a cycle. I mean in…
I never knew he lost a daughter 💔
