Thank You !
Dc was the person who opened my eyes to how sick wrestling is
Gsp?
Matt hughes?
@farqusada DC is an all American his wrestling is superiority to a lot fighter
@@MRios1128 DC was causing more damage to the opponent with his wrestling. His throws and gnp were much more deadlier than GSP or Matt Hughes.
The Rock?
DC has every single ounce of my respect. Just a legitimately good human.
not real ufc champ he cheated the weigh in
I love him a whole bunch
@@JustAThought916 by how much weight?
Dont be gay
@@JustAThought916 yeah I’m forgetting winning the ufc light heavyweight and heavyweight titles makes you not a real champ…
That was insane man. Those heavy hands, the takedown defense, catching that kick and turning it into a trip, wow.. DC’s legacy is a goldmine to go back and enjoy.
Young and Prime DC was scary AF
Prime dc was never a mma fighter dude didnt start mma til his 30s
Yeah, we never got to see prime DC in MMA. I wonder what it would look like, maybe he could even make 185 and become triple champ
@@rockasrepublic he was never making 185 even in the olympics at his absolutle peak he was 197
At the time he was called Black Fedor (and for good reason lol). The decline of Fedor and the rise of DC seemed to coincide at the same time, much like Tony and Charles has today.
Stipe is lucky he only meet with old man DC not this DC
He’s one of the reasons I love MMA so much. He’s such an authentic and honest human being. He will always have my highest respect.
Honestly held the towel, and poked eyes ;)
@@felix-bk7ne yeah good call actually…
Good fighter. But authentic/honest… only when he’s standing next to Jon Jones lol.
@M X tf are you so angry about lol
@M X Why would he? DC is the most respectful and humble champ the UFC had compared to how much he talks. Yeah you can say Stipe is a nicer guy but it's easier to sound cute when you can't even speak properly. For the ammount of disrespect DC has been offered he's never had any retaliation. Even if you can't accept he's honest because you're clearly a hater, the guy is as authentic as they come and always shows respect. You can't blame him for being super competitive and taking advantageswherever he can since he wasn't gifted by life with an athlete's body...
It's always weird looking back on his and others fighters. To imagine this champion as an underdog, or doubting him back in the day, is crazy now haha.
The same thing is happening to Charles. He's been the underdog in all his championship fights. It's wild
dc reminds me of one of those sleeper cars you pull up next too that doesnt look like much and very unassuming. til it blows your doors off. dude is freakishly strong and can go anywhere you wanna go. in my opinion one of the top 5 pound for pound fighters on earth.
DC speaks his mind with no fear in his heart.
That over hand literally took me back to Khabib knocking conor down with the same overhand style lol
Lol I was thinking the same thing
Fucking casual
Except Conner didn’t even fall, dude took a knee off balance popped up and landed a knee on khabib. Big foot was actually hurt
@@arjenrobbed1294 lmao look at this Connor dick rider💀 so delusional. "Took a knee" I know you're a Covington fan. Pathetic
@@arjenrobbed1294 son I didn't talk about anyone getting hurt here , where you Instantly jumped to defend your hubby s honor here. 🤦
DC’s power behind his fists is underrated and under appreciated imo. Dude always had the ability to drop dudes and put their lights out that’s crazy for a wrestler. Most wrestlers in mma mainly rely on wrestling and winning that way.
His hand speed as well. Just a ferocious athlete under the layer of a harmless looking dad :D
I tell my buddies all the time, if Jon jones weren’t alive, Daniel “DC” Cormier would widely be considered the GOAT
Jon Jones couldn't beat DC at heavyweight.
If dc was 6'2 and younger he would've beaten jones
Everyone talks about DC's wrestling but he was such a great boxer...
That first knockdown put the fear in big foot his whole attitude changed
i like to roast DC but he's one of the greatest ever
Strikeforce DC vs pride Fedor
I would’ve loved that
If those two fusioned, we would get Fedoe Emelianegro.
Incoming Jones Troll fans telling us how Jon beat him still. Yeah and Jon was title stripped for STEROIDS and headbutted DCs eye while fighting him, on Roids... Lul
Literally no one is saying that but you.
Dc top 10 ever, maybe top 6, but jon is top 3 in everyones list
Are you ok? You're litteraly making this up 🤦♂️🤣
Daniel Cormier. You had my respect since day 1. First you earned it as a fighter, then, even more important, as a human being. One of the most badass fighter ever to walk the face of the earth, and one of the most humble ones. Legend.
He made me proud to represent the last name Cormier. (BarryDingle) is my alter ego. Daniel should and will go down as one of the bests to ever do it. And you're right.......hes a good family man with great values and tremendous work ethic. ✊️DC, much respect my dawg.
2:30 big foot has surprisingly small arms compared to his body 😅
Dc should be talked about more in the top 5 💯
One of the GOATs. And natty. You, sir, definitely have my respect.
From the thumbnail I am assuming this is gonna be about the Big Foot fight. There was a moment on commentary that wiill always stick with me. Its where Pat Miiletich says ''this kid is sick''. He certainly was!
Bigger they are the harder they fall. His strikeforce run was legendary.
DC is one cool uncle who always joking around but full of crazy wild story when he was young
Liam the 🐐
DC is so savage man at 3:52 he looks to the camera with just another day in the office type face while silva was standing up
earned my respect, legend
One of the absolute GOATS!
He is one of the GOATs!
DC is a living legend
I remember this fight. It's the moment Daniel became Fedor Emelianegro
😂 LOOOL
This took me a second lol
Wow
Black Fedor lol
Kek
He was always better at heavyweight because his hands were lethal and his wrestling was elite. One of the best of all time for sure
Cormier is one of the coolest killer in the MMA world
Dc fought at welterwheight. He's little for a heavy. Imagine usman fighting ngannu. That's how much of a goat is dc.
He's not little he shorter big difference. If he fought at welterweight he wouldn't have his speed advantage like at heavyweight.
DC almost had jon jones in the 2nd match he was winning until he got hit by that high kick, he is relatively short guy so he was at a disadvantage too, respect to Cormier
Being short is not a disadvantage.
@@granddaddyofthemall6320 it is when fighting jon jones who kicks you in the head. DC was landing good but he had to *jump* *forward* to get in range to hit jones. being short is great in wrestling and it works in mma but it has disadvantages
The huge height and reach disadvantage, and let's not forget the Jones is a cheater and on roids...
He's still waiting for that respect.
Hell no dcs natty goat
honestly lmao everyone shit on him on twitter
Anyone with a functional brain gives him the respect
Not from those who matter. His peers and honest fans of mma. He has their respect, and always did.
@@steezyxx Twitter ain’t exactly a republic of intelligence
Imagine if we got DC vs Fedor lol
Watching Fedor get old was tough man
Dc pressing his gloves together like Tyson make sure he get the KO
It's crazy to me how bad DCs boxing is yet how much success he had with it. I dunno if everyone was just sleeping on him or the division just wasn't as good back then or if everyone was so afraid of the level change or what. Regardless his clinch uppercut was a thing of beauty.
The real Chanp and best HW!
Fucking legend man
DC don’t get the respect he deserves goat of the heavyweights
D.C. MY MAN 👍👍
Dc may not look like much ( not a sight to behold) but damm the guy can fight!
Strikeforce DC was a animal
One of the few drawbacks of having a large skull is apparent when you see Bigfoots head whip around after a heavy blow.
Bigfoot has to be one of the most unique looking human beings every
His combinations looked like a guy who learned some of Cain’s style.
Bigfoot's head is huge
Dc training hard with cain at the time.both legends..
To this day still can`t believe people hated DC when he fought Jones 1 & 2...
I liked when Bigfoot Silva said "🗿"
I see why they call him Bigfoot.
If he didn't lose to Jon Jones and stipe he would be the greatest light heavyweight And heavyweight champion of all time he would be the goat in two weight division
That was TRT Bigfoot BTW.
i legitimately dont know why the fight was stopped unless he quit
fedor that is
I miss Strikeforce
Love the videos but you hardly post, do you need some funds?
Cheeseburger belly Cormier was a wrecking machine.
Cormier's boxing is so underrated. His inside boxing is elite, and his dirty boxing is world class. If he had more reach and longer limbs he would have been easily P4P #1
Sounds kinda like Jon Jones you´re describing
Reach is not an advantage prime DC was P4P #1. Height and reach don't mean shit he proved that.
TKO give me some respect now!
DC is the legend in this sport .Btw he got 3 losses not 2
now look at bigfoot smh
He hasn't won a fight in any competition since 2015 It's time for him to retire
sad to see, he has beaten some legends in his prime
Really sad, it should be criminal to allow him to compete these days. Its killing him.
I love that you bringing this back to light 🫡 reminds me of high school man
back when they call him black fedor
to be fair: Silva was on a ton of roids for his tumor, but some speculated that they were also for his performance. as soon as he got off them his record went to shi*t
DC absolutely ragdolled everybody except stipe and jon
He did beat Stipe but got too old in the rematch. Nobody could have beat a prime heavyweight DC.
❤️ DC
I miss Strikeforce. It was way better than Bellator is today
Greatest CLEAN fighter of all time......🤣
There's a timeline where Fedor is unquestionably the best of all time after dodging that punch and knocking Bigfoot out then later beating Cormier for the championship. If that doesn't underline the importance of having your hands up nothing will.
This dc would destroy stipe
Don't seek outward validation get it from yourself and God who made you.
Lmfao look at bigfoots scrawny lil arms.. no wonder they call him big foot
Dc is the real deal nobody want smoke with him I love Jon Jones but bro built different.
Man that was a nasty finish
Cormier has to be one of the saltiest men of all time 😂. Imagine being a top ever fighter material and having your career ruined by jones and Stipe . Without them he is top 3 ever easily
Jon Jones, the tough guy, having to be on the juice when fighting DC says it all.
At least DC ruined Stipe's title reign and proved that immigrant mentality Miocic was not invincible.
Yeah imagine him losing fights.. that's crazy huh. Ohh wait.. barely anyone in the UFC has gone undefeated in their career.. Oh wait.. Stipe is one of the best heavyweights to have ever fought.. Oh wait.. Jon Jones is the best MMA fighter to have ever lived.. huh. Imagine thinking less of DC because he got beat by Stipe and Jones. That's the dumbest fucking thing i have ever read. 🤦♂
Put some respek on his name
DC is higher on the GOAT list than Jon Jones. Jones is a super tall, long guy who has performed well against much smaller opponents. DC on the other hand has beaten EVERYONE he has faced, in 2 divisions and 2 promotions, with the exception of Jones. I think when Jones finally fights at heavyweight, his limitations will be exposed.
Tall and long is not an advantage Jon Jones has great skills that's why he wins.
@@granddaddyofthemall6320 they literally call it "reach advantage". DC knocked out Bigfoot Silva after Silva beat shit out of Fedor, and he also knocked out the heavyweight GOAT. His hit list is undeniably more impressive, most of the legends Jon beat were out of their prime. And he is a steroid cheat, more than once, so that takes him down several pegs.
@@nicholasthomas4382 I agree that DC resume is better, but I disagree long arms are a overall advantge.
His name should have been big head silva!😂😂
So what do we have here? Black Young Fedor is better then White Old Fedor. Respect to DC. He's a real deal!
It bothers me that Bigfoot beat Fedor. I know it was different times in there careers and fedor way past prime but still. In my mind Fedor is the true goat, and silva is a journeyman gatekeeper at best.
Prime Bigfoot is one of those Heavyweight fighters like Mark Hunt who aren't top of the food chain or perhaps even elite, but can catch even the best Heavyweights on an off-night or if they underestimate them. Gatekeeper, journeyman, call them what you wish, but they were not to be overlooked.
@@madgavin7568 Really good point,so many people talk down fighters for not being the best of the best, forgetting they're still great fighters.
@@kelkelly5516 Bigfoot fell more into the 'good' rather then 'great' category of fighters. The crowning achievements of his career are beating Fedor and Alistair, though caveats come attached.
@@madgavin7568 These words are purely subjective, so sure, call him what you want
Prime HW DC beats everyone except Juicy Jones
Prime DC would beat Jones at heavyweight.
@@TrevorMauk Heavyweight is DC natural weight nobody could beat a prime heavyweight DC.
Yoooo
One of the best HW of all time, also one of the worst commentators of all time.
Was Overeem really injured though? How many times does this shit happen and the underdog wins? Sounds like some fuckery. Silva is a BJJ guy. DC is a wrestler. Some matchmaker bas to know how dominant wrestling is over BJJ once the wrestler has BJJ defense.
Imagine how Fedor with his fast hands cant catch bigfoot but DC did it several times without fast temp 🤷
Kahbib done nothing mur mur mur mur mur
Dc is what Conor promises for lightweight. But in another weight class.
1
Natty Goat
Good wrestler, mediocre fighter and bad commentator.
Bigfoot defeated prime fedor
When DC proved he was a crybaby - UFC 214
Man, looking back, Silva should have just retired after beating Fedor.
That fight was rigged tho
Lol da fk is up with you kid
