Daniel Cormier on how Jon Jones beat his a** 

Haha Izzy is a douche

"I beat that guy one time" 😅

I mean... He kinda has a point, no one really Bothered with AP till Izzy wanted him 🤣

😂😂😂

Hahahah 🤣

I mean I love DC but jon literally made him cry. He has to be humble now

⁠@@RT-qz5cijones made em cry then pissed hot. DC could just use that as an excuse but he doesn’t.

DC is legit the most likeable alpha male on the planet

I respect DC he was always a smaler then his opponent's like could he make middleweight.

he got caught 2x though

He has been powerlifting for years now. I know what u mean tho

Toxic masculinity podcast they were saying tank Abbott was benching that.

@@MrShane82 if thats true then THAT is actual insanity lmao

​@@LordBeezleDwarfit is. But if you're into powerlifting you know body type makes a difference. Guys with Jones build are beasts at deadlifting. Dudes built like that are almost always deceptively strong too. That's not to take anything away from him, but personally I didn't find it that shocking. Look at the Belfort fight. He basically deadlifted that grown ass man with his arm about to snap, then shook him off. Everyone whose fought Jon even back in the day all said he's freakishly strong.

@@LordBeezleDwarf how so?

I see what you did there

goddamn

Brooooo

Crybabies love The marvels

Any man in underwear and a cape is good enough for Cormier and apparently you.

Just a lovely person. Love how he interacts with the Russian fighters lol he follows their conversations with their accent 😂

I think the reason why he spoke good about Jon Jones is because of Joe Rogan , if Daniel would've started talking negative about Jones, Rogan would of been very defensive about him . When it comes to Jon Jones , Joe Rogan and Dana White loves and admire that dude

​@@ak1133mnah DC has always been complimentary of Jones' skills and mettle

@@ak1133mnah they actually dont have ill intentions towards each other anymore, they’re not friends but they not enemies, both said this

@@ak1133mif you ever heard DC speak on Jones, he’s always gives him his praise and calls his the greatest fighter that ever lived. he’s admitted to this a bunch of times

@@ThaTruth223 Yes sir. The Only time I've seen D.C. talk shit about Jones was TO Jones.

​@@Butterratbeeor just don't be a hater.

@@ForwardTu I’m not a hater. Jon is either the best or second best fighter ever and an absolutely horrible person and also a cheater, those are just facts

@@Butterratbee I think you missed the point entirely.

@@JustMe-fo4ev what was the point then?

@@Butterratbee Fighters trash each other all the time, even high level ones where there isn't a lot to criticize about their fight styles. True in MMA and boxing. It's more rare when you get a show of respect like this, especially with how openly hostile Jones would be to DC a lot of the time. That's how I interpreted it anyways - it's just acknowledging that DC carried himself well throughout his career.

Dan hardy is better

@@anton-th8yl that's fine. No arguement here.

He is the best calling the fights

@@sausageintaco bro, agreed. He's been there and he knows. I love it

I’d also like to see him on the mic with Joe one day

hes also a commentator. he has to be neutral in hs opinions. even off air he cant seem too biased.

I mean it’s not he has any choice. Jon is the goat you can’t deny his talent

What other choice does he have jones kicked his ass twice

​@@aperalta0424He could've been like most folks in general and glued himself to the excuse.

@@ahmeddhere1154 , well... DC could have resorted to the fact that Jones did PED's, and he could also argue that Jones was still in his prime and he (DC) was already ageing (36) when they fought. But he didn't.

Thug Rose! Thug Rose!!

Uhhmmm… he’s a former UFC double champ, us national gold medalist, was inducted into the ufc hall of fame and is a regular commentator for the ufc. I think he’s gotten the respect…

@@MP-wy3hp uhnmmmm no fucking shit bud I’m talking about fan sentiment and his legacy being tainted by the Jon jones saga. Use your head moron. You know damn well what I’m talking about.

@@MP-wy3hp people like dc now wayyyyyyyyyy more than when he was fighting and that’s a fact

No way man he's a legend!

​@@christianvazquez3219 I don't think you guys understand what he means. DC really only started getting liked closer to his retirement. The last 3 or so fights in his career. For most of his career he was getting booed and most fans loved Jones. They really didn't respect him for the most part.

word

Well put, I'm a Jones fan but Jones has never been humble until after he beat Dan second time

@@mustbsoufwhat?? He’s beaten people and given them props plenty of time

This isn’t a rivalry Jon Jones is just better in every way, taller stronger wider faster more popular smarter lifts more.

@@vexed2576it was a rivalry dude

@@4ktre398mmmm eh not really even dc said last fight interview that its not a rivalry if he hasnt won one fight. A rivalry is back and forth war this mostly like jon jones whooping ass

@@vexed2576nah you stroking his shi rn

@@4ktre398 rivalry indicates some time of competitiveness. This feud between them was completely one sided.

shut up 😂😂😂

@@BrennanCarpenfield 🤣

ahahaha

😂😂😂😂😂

That's what she said! *ba dum tisss*

fr like who did dc piss off for them to write that 😂

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think cormier is the better person based on how childish and immature he acted towards jones before and after their fights.

Id say you're wrong if you're simply comparing the two.@@dillonbrown1123

@@gamebred3075 You're responding attackingly to someone who apparently doesn't understand the situation that deeply. There's a reason why I said what I said in the first comment. Sounds like you need to grow up a little more kid. Also it's "You're" and "Your" not "Ur"

@@gamebred3075 Found a loser hater. One of many. Cringe.

@@gamebred3075 Dumbass.

He's about the average height of a welterweight, if he disciplined his diet he could've been a triple champ with the middleweight belt.

@@zumis1011 i think you’re right. I remember thinking how small in terms of stature and reach he was when he fought Anderson at UFC200

@@EveK-North yeah Silva's like 3 inches taller than him. His fight against Bigfoot made it look like a mismatch until he hit him with a right hand from hell

Jon vs DC was always a strange sort of catch-weight fight to me. One is small for a LHW and the other is massively tall for a LHW. They should each have been fighting one weight class below and above respectively. Jon with a little more meat on his skinny calves should have been fighting people his own size. And Daniel should have been fighting Welterweight.

@@Majorfuckinghero maybe in an alternate universe, there could be divisions based on height/reach/frame instead of exclusively to weight? I think the former has more advantages in a fight, unless the guy is just 50 pounds bigger 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes the Goat.... ALBIET....Cocaine and Alcohol help!....

And forgot Maybe steroids but watev....

​@@omni-man4624bro it was a picogram lol nowhere near enough to affect performance. Loads of fighters are on the juice between fights and after injuries its well known

@DBoyJR187 I have no problem with althetes.....Taking SPD'S....OR ANYONE!

@@omni-man4624they’re all on roids you doofus If you think DC is squeaky clean and wouldn’t have pissed hot and melted cups, you’re a meatball They cycle off

DC could have fought middleweight if he lost the belly

yup look at Jared cannonier. same height as DC, started fighting at heavyweight, but Jared actually knows how to put the fork down

​@@daveyjoseph6058I'm not so sure. If I'm not mistaken he went to the Olympics at like, 185-87? And had to drop out because his kidneys shut down from the weight cut. Go look at him back in those days, dude was a fuckin unit and already ragdolling dudes. I think people forget too that he was getting up in age in the UFC. He didn't start MMA until he was 31. To me, if you watch his fights right before he dropped to 205, he was about 220lbs and was the best I've seen him. Freakishly fast for that size. If they had like a super cruiserweight between 206-225ish I think DC would've ran it for a while.

In some situations, length can also be a big disadvantage too if your opponent knows how to counter and exploit that.

Length is overrated. It’s about how u manage distance.

He loves the balls 😉 😂

except hes honest

He doesn't have to watch the film cz he is there in person at most of the events. N nobody is gonna do film work on every fighter on the card .

He already admitted it the crazy thing is you wouldn’t have a clue if Cruz didn’t say anything yet you hold it against him for some odd reason? To feel good about yourself?

Cruz usually is spot on some people just don’t like him tbh

​@@lowkey_gaming5956Laura sanko does her homework & it shows. It does add to the quality when u know previous fights, record , habits etc. It's a level of dedication & it sets the hard workers apart from the ones who skate by.

@@aisforannihilation1662 are you passive aggressively trying to call Cormier lazy?

That's it bro, we are just not made to last forever. He has been doing it forever too. Hitting a wall blows, but nobody gets to keep going forever. We all eventually break down.

i think 37 has nothing to do with it. It's the extra muscle, and Power Lifting that messed him up. most MMA guys (usually not Jones) train that crossfit crap too much, and train their technique too little..

@@strikingmachine2975 Could be. I mean we're only human, and he could have torn that shht doing an MMA move just as well. Could have done it at 18 years old just as l likely at 37. We just never know with the human body. What we do know is that everyone has a shelf life, and the closer we get to that shelf life, the harder it is to recover and the more injury prone we become. I don't do anything really strenuous anymore, but the closer you get to 40, the more you just feel the miles. There just comes a point where you can no longer lie to yourself that you are not 25 anymore, and will never be again. That's not a bad thing, it's just life....nobody gets out unscathed.

@@strikingmachine2975 37 definitely is a Factor. Injury risk goes up with age in everyone

@@strikingmachine2975 It's both what you said and the age, imo.

It works on an even deeper level too if you think about how Thor decapitated Thanos... just like Izzy decapitated Alex. Didn't stop either man from collecting stones

@@redneckrambo9626 p sure alex decapitated izzy first, and it was more brutal.

Nah…that Izzy knockout was brutal… seeing Alex being put out COLD was crazy to see.@@lel1433

He knows he fought the best mixed martial artist of all time

Jon*

Kinda agree in a weird way

DC dominated Stipe for most of the two fights, though.

DC dominated Stipe for most of the two fights, though.

@@Luis_Ah_Hoy_Jr Put them in a 3rd fight. Stipe would beat him again. The Jones-Gane fight was joke. Gane should've laid down on the mat and choked himself out. It would have been more exciting. Jones looked fat and slow. I think it would be a good fight between 2 old fighters, if Jones-Miocic ever happens. Aspinwall would KO or submit either of them.

@@Luis_Ah_Hoy_Jr Aspinall would beat any of DC, Jones, and/or Miocic.

it's all promotion and hyping the fight, its showned to get more veiws. then when the fight it done, the fighter can be themselves agian,

Bro is also nearing 40 yo but I get what u sayin

Never heard anyone who doesn't use steroids tore a pec :)

@@baIIerzbaII It's a very particular injury common among steroid using body builders

Muscle can develop faster than tendons, especially if you use steroids. Without the steroids the process takes longer, and tendon development can keep up better.

Gcoat

That's middle brother power!

It's shitty, but there's something I like about how dirty Jon fights. On top of all his physical advantages and skill: dude is just fuckin mean lol. Gouging eyes, wrenching limbs like against Glover, breaking down dudes ACL's. It's kind of an insight into his mindset. I do think he's on the psychopathic side. In a violent sport, he manages to be effortlessly even more ruthless.

Cormier did this against Stipe like 4 times in their trilogy

He isn’t taking anything. He had the pork belly in his last night. Before that he was a tall skinny boy

@@Cts_99Did he win?

Go watch they Rey’s vs jones fight

Gustafson too

You're right, and that's why it was in Jones' game plan. If DC were significantly taller, Jon and his team would have focused on other things, as the greats do.

So much cope from DC fans lmao

Yeah but hes not. And jon shouldn’t be faulted for his God given height

@@alec57cope? Bro he’s retired who cares anymore 😂

And if AI was 9ft tall he probably would’ve won a chip, what an insight

It's hard to get high these days

He needs to be a villain for added villain benefits

He would be the greatest UFC fighter of all time no cap. Before people get mad, you have to understand Jon Jones entered the UFC ALREADY with sponsorships from Nike & Gatorade, no other fighter had that, along with MuscleTech and eventually Reebok pretty early onto his fights. The guy could have and would have been the Michael Jordan of UFC, especially with the beautiful storyline of being this super young fighter who crushed every big light heavyweight legend at the time and became the youngest champ in UFC history. But he fucked that all up. Is he a goat contender, sort of. If you asked him he would say hes the goat, but hes destroyed his reputation & those sponsors are long gone. We never saw Jones at full potential, just a matter of fact. He became a villain and he won't be remembered as fondly as he thinks, even tho hes truly one of the MMA goats from a technique standpoint. I still think Reyes beat him.

​@Trykzzz he is the goat. I dont really associate outside the cage with inside the cage. Just picturing how great he could have been staying sober. I knew he was 1st to sign with those sponsors but never heard he was sponsored with no fights

@@TrykzzzJon is definitely the goat !

They all do them dummy

Honestly probably not I like DC a lot more than Jones but no one can deny he’s the best he’s got everything fight IQ excellent striking distance management takedown defence brutal in the clinch his kick-boxing honestly I could go on and on he just knows how to fight. Also look at his eyes when he fights, Jones is a genuine psychopath who wants to kill you and while it’s extremely unsettling that truly is the best base for MMA

I love Sean but he has no business trying to stand with someone like Alex. Hes just not athletic enough to defend someone as explosive as him.

There is one video which will show you that left hook was set up for pretty much entirety of the fight. So its not even weakness of the style as much as it is that Alex tricked Strickland into thinking he will hit him with direct

That right hand of Strickland's does drop an awful lot. Left hook chances were gonna be there all fight. Strickland can grapple, chooses to never do it, and paid that price that time.

@@JustMe-fo4ev im starting to question how well he can grapple.

@@RT-qz5ci Yeah that's fair. We really never see him initiate. DDP kept taking him down but could never keep him down, so at least his get ups seem ok.

Some steroids like testosterone also influence collagen synthesis and can create more brittleness for lack of a better word due to shifting between type I and II collagen. Also, steroids like winstrol are known for causing tendon and ligament tears due to a lack of estrogen.
