This man is such an inspiration. From hard beginnings, to the Olympic Wrestling Captain, to UFC double champ. He’s a great father with his feet always placed firmly on the ground, not letting stuff get to his head. What a man. Good on you DC you really earned this, and head up Stipe, you’ll be back at the top soon.
Immigrant Mentality Stiopic now we know stipe was overrated, just been fighting heavyweight bums. But respect to DC for taking his belt. Now it’s jones vs DC
Immigrant Mentality Stiopic wooooow lot of hate give yourselves a holiday typical AMERICANS your showing other people from other countries what uuuuuuu are like it's childish
Keita and Fabinho Apologist cuz ngannou was a bum stipe turned him into what we seen tonight Jds no joke Overeem no joke Werdum no joke all these guys are out of there prime because of stipe
Everyone talks about Lesnar not deserving etc etc. DC has fought every contender and outside of Jones, who is a cheat, has played by the rules this whole time. He DESERVES a big money fight and if it's with Lesnar, hey that's all good. He deserves it. At least Lesnar is a former champ. It's not like Conor and Mayweather. Good luck for DC.
Wow yeah Jones is the only cheat. Pull your head from your arse man, every time brocks called out for PEDS, it's back to the WWE ....until there's a new heavyweight champ
Even the haters and die-hard Jones fans must admit - what a great guy DC is! Hard work pays off! Im super happy for him and bummed out that we wont c much more of him. Great run champ! Whatever happens from now on, DC will always be a champion!
It makes me so happy to see this. Just look at that smile at the end when he’s getting his pictures with the two belts. Well done DC you’re the realist champion.
Im from Croatia and I was rooting for Stipe, but I love them both. DC is such an inspiration, a great fighter and a great role model. Congrats on an amazing victory!
If DC is the best he wouldnt've been in the octogon crying after losing to jones the 2nd time. Now he's avoiding another jones fight so he can get a payday with brock lesnar, who has been popped for steroids everytime he entered the UFC. You can call him one of the greatest UFC fighters but not the GOAT.
sdfgsdgdfgf Jones avoided the fight himself and also a fair fight when he took steroids. Age, height, reach, steroid, all on Jones side. If Jones was so good he would wouldnt have to convince himself to need more advantages on top of everything to win. Poor guy. Youngest champ I'll give him that. But DC has the rest.
That last comment about fighting weight says it all. There needs to be some overhaul so the fighters aren't killing themselves to lose weight on top of being in fighting shape.
I love the fact that he shows good things happen to Good people and made his critics eat their words. Greatest of all time he’s definitely in that conversation
DC is one of the greatest of all time. He's undefeated champ at heavyweight and was taking a toll to drop weight and fight at 205 and still became a champ there. Jones is the king of 205, but he absolutely destroyed his legacy, so for me "Jones argument" does not work.
I remember commenting about how Cormier is a bum and that Jones will ko him years ago. Never did I think I'd be the biggest AKA fan boy a year later. Cormier fought through all the disrespect, loss of his daughter, loss of his father, and losses to Jones. Cormier comes back and becomes the First Double Champion that has actually defended his belts. You can hate Cormier for being chunky fine, but who else has accomplished what he has, and done so CLEAN. Cormier is absolutely the GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
i love this dude a true champion!!!! Also Stipe is a good dude a true champion personality, i cannot wait for the rematch. Stipe good luck on the birth, you are a really class act!!!!!
Salute to DC. I didn’t even know the reasons why he left the heavyweight division in the first place. He’s a great champion, person and a true friend. You deserved everything you got. I hope you get your money fight against Lesnar or Jones.
“I’m gonna wrap one on one shoulder and I’m gonna wrap one on the other shoulder, and you’re gonna need a FOOKIN army to come take them belts off me” DC double champ huge balls G.O.A.T.
Absolute LEGEND. 2 division champ. Great guy. Family man. Most importantly a clean, PED-free fighter. KO's Stipe in round one. F*ck the haters. Props to the people who supported DC all the way. It's a cool feeling to see him succeed like this
Amazing strategist. A couple more heavyweight wins might put him in the GOAT discussion but John Jones fights weighing that down a bit. One of the bests for sure.
The night couldn't have gone better for Dana and his gang of money hungry cheapskates. They got rid of a dominant champion that wasn't marketable at all,so now they can pave the way for the Lesnar-DC fight,in order for Lesnar to become champion again. You can tell they really want Lesnar to become champion again. The PED's test exemption is a prime example. He holds remarkable market value,having such a huge fanbase in pro wrestling. That combined with his mic skills and his fake ass bad boy persona makes for a huge attraction that can challenge the PPV records. Its obvious that WME didn't get back the compensation they expected after the 4 billion buyout. They started getting desperate since most of their stars faded right after the deal. Jones,Lesnar,Ronda,Conor. Two tested positive,one went pro wrestling and one went boxing. The Fertitas must be laughing their asses off right now.
Cause conors not dancing for them they looking to lesnar, but he wont beat DC though wrestlings just as good and strikings alot better. Still a good payday for everybody though
if that was not scripted fight! DC literally got permit to poke hes eyes out and Stipe took the money and hit the road Stipe should be happy he didnt lose his eyes in this poke massacre
One incidental eye poke from Stipe (that didnt actually poke) vs a gameplan of eyepokes from Cormier. 4 warnings in 2-3 min FOR DC. 5-6 successful eye pokes FOR DC, including The Eyepoke immediately prior to KO Punch. if it was other way around i would be equally disappointed.
I've been at MMA fan since I was a little baby I used to watch Josh Barnett Ronda Rousey and Shayna baszler and are I I'm happy that they are now a part of the WWE and the Josh Barnett is now a part of impact

What a man. Good on you DC you really earned this, and head up Stipe, you’ll be back at the top soon.
J Tevo spot on ! The man deserves all the good he gets. John Jones should look at DC and see how it’s done.
I can't understand all the people that hate him and worship Jon Jones
J Tevo
Not letting stuff get to his head? lol!
Jones will be in his head for good.
and unlike the other double champ this man will defend
Also an eye poker.
DC = double champion
It all makes sense now
the real double chamb
Double cheeseburgerchamp
Dc= don't cry
DC = Damn Cheater
bless the guy, you could see at the end how much he enjoyed the moment of having 2 belts on his shoulders, sometimes the good guys do win
kiely 456 W
kiely 456...I kno and it feels great too... but unfortunately too rarely seen..!
if life was that black and white my friend the world would be a much simpler place to live, sadly real life is one giant grey area
Love DC! And.... we hopefully get 10+ more years of his awesome commentating and TV personality. Hes become my favorite big time.
He should show up to Brock's next WWE appearance and troll him from the front row.
Razear (Legendary)
DC should bring his belts with him
Brock doesn’t appear on WWE enough to do that
lol I would love for that to happen
Razear he should because theres no difference between wwe and UFC.. it's all fake and about entertainment.
He is a ferocious competitor. Congratulations Daniel Cormier.
Ferocious eye poker
I WANT MY REMATCH BRO!
Nope, you lose=deported. Trumps orders.
Immigrant Mentality Stiopic now we know stipe was overrated, just been fighting heavyweight bums. But respect to DC for taking his belt. Now it’s jones vs DC
Stipe was not overrated but DC was underrated
Immigrant Mentality Stiopic wooooow lot of hate give yourselves a holiday typical AMERICANS your showing other people from other countries what uuuuuuu are like it's childish
Keita and Fabinho Apologist cuz ngannou was a bum stipe turned him into what we seen tonight Jds no joke Overeem no joke Werdum no joke all these guys are out of there prime because of stipe
A true champion
???? In a poking
The king of the UFC :D One of the GOATS

He DESERVES a big money fight and if it's with Lesnar, hey that's all good. He deserves it. At least Lesnar is a former champ. It's not like Conor and Mayweather.
Good luck for DC.
Y4J - DC can pick whoever he wants to fight on this planet. His choice. Anything is OK by me. He earned it the hard way
Exactly. Hopefully DC makes a ton of money and cements himself as one of the GOATS.
Y4J. I like how you call Jones a cheat and then say Lesner deserves this who is an actual steroid.
J Tee just shows you how deluded jones haters are
Wow yeah Jones is the only cheat. Pull your head from your arse man, every time brocks called out for PEDS, it's back to the WWE ....until there's a new heavyweight champ
Delighted for dc great to see good things happen to good guys for a change ✊🏻
I used to think DC was a bit of a dork, but man what a guy he is. Accomplished more than anyone else in the sport. Legend.
McAuley2442 you are right I never seen anyone accomplishes 4 intentional eye pokes and it’s not disqualified. That is almost impossible.
You thought an MMA fighter who could kill you in less than 5 seconds was a bit of a dork? Okay big shooter 😂
So happy for this guy. He is a real life hero
DC just grinds through anything life throws at him. He is a true inspiration regardless if you are a fighter or not.
David Tran 100%
Daniel the eye gouger Cormier
Cain and Daniel bromance is awesome
Even the haters and die-hard Jones fans must admit - what a great guy DC is! Hard work pays off! Im super happy for him and bummed out that we wont c much more of him. Great run champ! Whatever happens from now on, DC will always be a champion!
Class act. The guy is genuinely a good man.
It makes me so happy to see this. Just look at that smile at the end when he’s getting his pictures with the two belts. Well done DC you’re the realist champion.
the world is right again ... love it if he can defend both belts 1 time n retire ... thats all you need
D.C. such a class act.
Yes, such an eye poking Little fat Mafioso.....and Danas little fat dog.....for sure!!!
DC has finally learned that jab to the eye technique
good for you DC
Im from Croatia and I was rooting for Stipe, but I love them both. DC is such an inspiration, a great fighter and a great role model. Congrats on an amazing victory!
Such a great dude and his pure happiness is infectious, wish him the best always
That was one of the greatest, most deserved achievements in sport and one of the greatest interviews to cap it off.
"We're livin in my world now." bravo, bravo! Too good.
This guy really speaks so well widout any slang.. loved him
That is what a Champion looks and acts like. Nothing but class, highest level of class.
Appreciate his honesty about cutting. More people need to know about this
10:28 Big Smile
10:30 When Jon Jones brought up
The jone Jones argument is FOR NERDS dc is the best to ever do it.
hardeststyleofdance so he’s better than someone he lost to and has never beat. Lol, cool bro.
Keita and Fabinho Apologist yes because you have no idea of how steroids work. Or why they are banned. :)
If DC is the best he wouldnt've been in the octogon crying after losing to jones the 2nd time.

give this man the respect he deserves

that sweet goofball is the baddest man on the planet, who would believe that ?
love you DC
🐐
Respect to you dc from London 🤟
He really is just a great guy. Great champion. The realist dude in the UFC
what a great guy, best personality in mma
lol dc and his bromance with luke and cain love this guy
It’s crazy looking at how much DC aged from the first Stipe fight to the 3rd. He looks so young here.
Daniel "im 39 yrs old" Cormier. Well done on the victory man!
What a great guy I'm happy for him he deserve this!
As a person and a fighter, i like him alot !!
I love the fact that he shows good things happen to Good people and made his critics eat their words. Greatest of all time he’s definitely in that conversation
DC kicked ass. So much respect for this guy.
Well done DC, you deserve this mate.
D.C. knew about the callout. Rogan lets no one hold the mic, but gave it up to D.C. without a fight
"it almost feels like destiny" great line of a true champion
Most deserving champion yet.
Best thing about that UFC event was Rogan and Cruz's commenting. Oh... and imagining Jones's face watching Cormier living his life.
DC is one of the greatest of all time. He's undefeated champ at heavyweight and was taking a toll to drop weight and fight at 205 and still became a champ there. Jones is the king of 205, but he absolutely destroyed his legacy, so for me "Jones argument" does not work.
How can you not like dc! What a champ champ
Do a JRE interview INTERVIEW now your the DUEL CHAMP
39 and I’ve been second a lot of times. Quite a speech
DC and Stipe both are awesome champs
DC's story is so inspirational. His fanbase had to grow last night. How can anyone hate this man any longer? DC can retire right now as the goat
I remember commenting about how Cormier is a bum and that Jones will ko him years ago.
Never did I think I'd be the biggest AKA fan boy a year later. Cormier fought through all the disrespect, loss of his daughter, loss of his father, and losses to Jones. Cormier comes back and becomes the First Double Champion that has actually defended his belts.
You can hate Cormier for being chunky fine, but who else has accomplished what he has, and done so CLEAN. Cormier is absolutely the GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
I love DC. Couldn't be happier for that bro.
Champ Champ
Baddest man on the planet.
Just happens to be the nicest man on the planet too.
#DCLEGEND
Best light heavyweight and best heavyweight in the world.. ladies and gentlemen Daniel DC CORMIER
So happy for him
Where you like DC or not? The man has earned the right to be called: Undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
we schould all call him Daniel the eye gouger Cormier
Congrats DC what a spirit
Congrats to the new champ champ.
Also, Luke Thomas molested a squirrel before this press conference. Don't let him get away with it anymore.
I don’t get it?
😂😂 what?
The Tongan Bomber don’t get the joke?
I think he is referring to Luke's beard
Used to hate DC...now he's one of my favourite fighters in the UFC!!!
janski1982 So why did you hate him? I bet you were one of the guys that were hating on UFC 192
janski1982 Favorite** dumbass!
Cris Davis favourite is used in Canada** DUMBASS
George Phillips I hated him because he was a boring character.
Hate him? use don't know each other 🙄🙄🙄
How can't you not love this guy 😂😂👍🏼
DC has finally learned that jab to the eye technique
such a lovely guy
we can call him GOAT now
Man, Stipe has some hard eyes. Look at Cormier's bandaged fingers. Amazing!
living legend
We need Jones vs Cormier at heavyweight.
Eye poking match ❤
i love this dude a true champion!!!! Also Stipe is a good dude a true champion personality, i cannot wait for the rematch. Stipe good luck on the birth, you are a really class act!!!!!
The DC-JJ situation reminds me of the BHop-RJJ situation in boxing..DC & Hopkins losing the fights but winning the actual long term battle.
Huge respect for DC - I just keep liking him more since Jones fell off the radar. True champion and a beast of a competitor!
Salute to DC. I didn’t even know the reasons why he left the heavyweight division in the first place. He’s a great champion, person and a true friend. You deserved everything you got. I hope you get your money fight against Lesnar or Jones.
🐐🐐🐐🔥🔥🔥
Love this dude
Only when Holly beat Ronda have i been this happy about a fighter winning in the octagon.
Wins 2 belts and plans to defend both.... DC my hero❤
“I’m gonna wrap one on one shoulder and I’m gonna wrap one on the other shoulder, and you’re gonna need a FOOKIN army to come take them belts off me”
DC double champ huge balls
G.O.A.T.
DC have the greatest eye poking skill HW division has ever seen
GOAT for sure
Great Boy
Jones is the MMA GOAT.
But it is impossible not to like DC. Transparent and humble. Dude loves his family a lot too.
What a feeling that must be!
Absolute LEGEND. 2 division champ. Great guy. Family man. Most importantly a clean, PED-free fighter.
KO's Stipe in round one.
F*ck the haters. Props to the people who supported DC all the way. It's a cool feeling to see him succeed like this
we doing a 1v1 ladder match with DC and Lesnar?
You can see in DC eyes that he has work Hard for hes dream.
Amazing strategist. A couple more heavyweight wins might put him in the GOAT discussion but John Jones fights weighing that down a bit. One of the bests for sure.
This is a role model.
We will all miss DC when he’s gone!
When did going to put it back on Fox because I don't have Fox One in Jamaica
He kinda has that Fedor style defense standing up
love dc great fighter great bloke
LOYALTY.
I feel like Cain Velasquez's injury will never let him fight again, so he's just going to be relegated to being the best training partner at AKA.
Léon Noël hope you’re wrong, but it’s been a while

if that was not scripted fight!
DC literally got permit to poke hes eyes out
and Stipe took the money and hit the road
Stipe should be happy he didnt lose his eyes in this poke massacre
DC’s story is so amazing. HOF’er for sure.
DC calling out Brock Lesnar!
He may not be able to defeat Jones in a fight, but DC's taking everything from him.
Shawn B well he’s definitely going to have the third fight with jones now.
Shawn B he's taking Bones long planned dreams
Lol he could KO jones at heavy weight, stipe aint easy to KO
Your future VP of UFC ; Mr. Daniel Cormier
Real G! FairPlay DC
Yeah, I really need to stop doubting DC...
An American Champion!
Feel devastated for Stipe. DC is the real deal.
DC has finally learned that jab to the eye technique
Stipe should be happy he didnt lose his eyes in this poke massacre
drazen kunovic nice copy paste
One incidental eye poke from Stipe (that didnt actually poke) vs a gameplan of
eyepokes from Cormier. 4 warnings in 2-3 min FOR DC.
5-6 successful eye pokes FOR DC, including The Eyepoke immediately prior to KO Punch.
