DC is older, shorter and dosen’t cheat but still gave Jones a run for his money while clearing his division. Jon is a goat because it’s popular to say, DC is a goat because it’s facts.
@ Jon is great in performance and ofc wrestling etc. but I’m terms of the DC rivalry and comparison, DC actually KOs and submits, Jon iirc does submit but mostly wins by decision and uses PEDs in his hardest fights. DC dosent much like GSP and still ate through his division.

Can you imagine failing 4 drug tests and still be considered the GOAT in any other sport than this trash? Imagine if Messi, Ronaldo, Djokovic, Federer, LeBron, Jordan ever failed a drug test. No one in their right mind would've called them GOAT anymore. My guess as to why this is happening is that MMA fans are the least intellectually capable among all fan groups.
@@marcelmaksel8814 this take is terrible, we have undeniable proof that Jones took roids and the only argument you have is that everyone is on gear despite having no actual proof, show me where LeBron has failed a drug test, what about Jordan, stop making things up to defend a cheater
@@SuperBeepD don't get me wrong. Jones getting popped shows a lack of professionalism, but every athlete mentioned is or was absolutely on steroids. To pretend otherwise is just nonsensical
DC is one of, if not, THEE #1 role model of what it takes to be a great father, husband, and fighter. No steroids, no scandals about him disrespecting his family, no jail time or court hearings pertaining to drugs, assault, or other heinous crimes. Just a respectable man becoming one of the greats!
@@lionelrivera_MMA Great video/documentary, really did a great job highlighting his greatest tragedies and his persistence, heart, and mentality to just keep pushing to be great, which I think he’s definitely done.
Cormier basically achived everything jones achived, appart from beating jones himself, the difference being he did all of that without cheating, without roids, without running away from challenges and most important, without being a comete piece of human shit, not just that, but also being a amazing human being.
D.C. is an absolutely amazing person and been through so much! He doesn’t have a record or failed drug tests! His life hasn’t been easy but it’s shaped him into one of the greatest Champions and HOF’s in our generation!❤
@@JokersVsZombies Sorry. Something went wrong. It's my fault, because I keep too many windows open. I humbly apologize. But I assure you that my response to the comment was more than adequate. I'm tired of the (MAGA) who, in addition to victory, also demand the genuflection.
@Tay2Cheap DC never failed a drug test, Jon Jones is roided up in fights and its been proven. Jones is an amazing fighter, DC is an example of a someone with a champions spirit.
Man hearing Jon Jones saying that DC coming down to his weight class and getting an immediate title is ridiculous is pure comedy. Jon moving up to H.W. and getting and getting a immediate title shot, while deying Tom a shot at the H.W. tite is almost, hypocritical.
Cause aspinal was not even in the conversation before and even now he’s just another up and comer while pereira is way more respected and a way better fught
The disrespect people give DC is crazy. Even if he was in the modern era, the only person I can see even giving him mild trouble is Tom Aspinal. DC at 40 beats Jones at 37
Holy fuck how r3tarded are the Mfs in these comments 😂 DC doesn’t beat jones ever, jones made him cry twice. Dc was roided more than jones 😂 dc has the test levels of a 9 year old, COPE.
Daniel truly got the short end of the stick throughout his career and a lot of tribulations in life. always liked him more than jones hearing him talk about how small his daughters casket was at the time was so sad. she would be the same age as me.
Jon's kids can atleast say that they have witnessed their father putting an absolute MMA clinic performance on their mother. That's something the Cormier's will never achieve.
1:02:00. Fighters play a slick game with the PR speak when they say "there was only a tiny amount of steroids in my system at the drug test". Steroids are done during training. You'll never see a fighter test positive with massive levels of steroids in their system. They clean out their system before the test. So the fact that there is even trace amounts of PE's during a drug test shows just how much was in his system during training. But I love when Jones says "we are still trying to find out how they got in my body". Hahahahahaha. Thats pure politician right there.
When dc was getting off the stage at UFC x after his live show of good gut bad guy I was in line for some autographs when dc walked past me I asked him for his autograph which he didn’t have to sign he was only there for good guy bad guy and he was on his way out he signed my shirt and I’m pretty sure I was the only one who got his autograph that day which is sick
I still can't believe Jon Jones even made it this far in the sport and was allowed to compete. Speaks volumes about the moral compass of the UFC. He is a disgrace to the sport and a waste of human life. Truly a POS. My heart goes out to DC for having to deal with so much unjustified hate towards him. DC is a wonderful human and I'm so glad people finally woke up and saw the truth. Amazing documentary!
1:14:40 I never "hated him for it"... and I doubt most others did either. DC wasn't a "better" fighter than Jones, but he's without a doubt 10× better man than Jones ever dreamed of being.There's more to life than being the best at a particular sport. He was great in wrestling AND MMA as well as being a great human being.
@@lionelrivera_MMA I don't think it's why you said they did though. I think it's because he put a spotlight on Jones wrongdoing, and used it as an attempt to sway the fans. which is the reason I personally believe people didn't like him. by using negative things jon did, as a reason for people to like him.
Cormier’s resume is supremely underrated. Going 22-3 with his losses being against Stipe Miocic twice when he was quite arguably in his prime (in the first fight DC was absolutely blasting Stipe and likely would’ve TKO’d most guys who didn’t have the chin and toughness that Miocic had). The third “loss” was in 2015 to Jon Jones. They had a rematch two years later where Jones viciously knocked out Cormier but then tested positive for a PED. With Jones’ use of recreational drugs, PEDs and the fact that HE HID UNDER THE FIGHTING RING AT HIS GYM FOR OVER 10 HOURS it’s safe to say that Jon was taking PEDs for multiple fights, including his first “win” against Cormier. Chael Sonnen, who also fought and was dominated by Jones, said that as soon as he clinched with Jones he was thinking, “I know your secret. I know what you’re on because I’m on the same thing”. Chael said “Jones was on more juice than Tropicana”. So I don’t count his loss against Jones and his first fight against Stipe was just a masterclass in adjustments and coaching by Stipe and his corner. I wonder if people would remember DC’s career differently if he was built more like Alex Pereira instead of being built like an average UFC fan (with more fat than DC and minus all the muscle). He definitely isn’t talked about and respected as much he should be.
“i don’t count jons wins over dc”😂😂 explain dcs 7000+ testosterone level i’d love to see you try since we’re bringing opinions in here because the facts are that jons whole entire career on paper is completely clear from any sort of ped usage and anything other than that is an opinion😂
How could DC have a 7000 test level if these guys don't have anything on "paper". Jones is a bum. He's so easy to beat. With no refs, just poke him in the eyes. And it's over. That's it. Done. He's a bum. He juices up , just to poke eyes. What a clown. He'll be crying with 1 eye poke, and then straight bawling when he pops dirty for peds afterwards.weakness
@@kenw2225 i’m not sure what you’re talking about but jon jones is by far the most complete and well rounded fighter in ufc history without even a close comparison and if anyone is eyepoking without a ref and rules it’s jon jones with his 85 inch reach i’ll tell you that much😂
brother, at these levels everyone is juiced to the gills. Everyone is on as much as they can get away with. It's only degenerates like Jones that take it to ridiculous levels that get caught by these tests because the testing is so easily cheated it's ridiculous. Same for the Olympics. Everyone is juiced out of their mind. Hard work, talent and juice is what gets you to the top. People who aren't on juice can not compete with people who are no matter how talented they are.
@@stancer25 I would actually agree with you there. Not to mention the fact Jon is the same age as DC was when he fought Jon and Jon is now ducking Aspinal. Jon should be grateful that DC took those fights with everything surrounding them

I remember vividly being a young DC fan and having my dad take me to Buffalo Wild Wings on my birthday to see DC vs. Jon Jones 2. The crushing devastation of having a Jon jones fan make fun of DC for crying after that loss hurts to this day.
Found your channel this morning. I watched a few videos, learned some things and was thoroughly entertained. I appreciate the effort you put into the videos and look forward to more. I am disappointed that I did not see any videos about the female fighters. 🍗❤👍🏿
God, man. Every time I hear that clip of DC talking about his daughter's casket being so small I'm just gutted. Becoming a champion AFTER something like that is astonishing.
1:00 maneeee, I’m a big Jon Jones fan, have been for years, I remember rooting for Jon heavily over DC, I respect DC a lot more now & have since the years went on but man why you gotta start the video like this, I have two daughters, ones just over a year old, don’t pull at my heart strings like this 😢
Lionel, I just want to say thank you for all the effort you put into these videos. I was never a big UFC/MMA guy, but the way you narrate these people’s stories is just phenomenal. You’ve made me a fan of the UFC and of you as well.
most ped failures in history! ducked his 2 most competitive fights! robbed reyes! beats his wife & almost killed a pregnant woman while fleeing the scene! has the intelligence & attitude of a teenage girl! who even started the trend of calling this fraud the goat?
I wish DC could see this comment: Man, I’ve always loved you as a fighter but seeing the trials and tribulations you went through on your way up makes me appreciate you to a whole new level. I wish I could give ya a big ol hug right now cause I feel like you’re a real brother to me. Also, chubby bros unite 😆

Daniel Cormier is a great man. I didn't know the difficulties he'd faced in his personal life, makes what he achieved even more impressive. I reckon he would smacked jones up too if Jones wasn't on steroids.
Definitely would snap small boy.. Notice how great Jones fitness was pre DC fights.. Thats not normal...along with all the mind games.. It's clear he super afraid of losing to DC.
DC have only fought guys who are bigger than him and won most of the times. Jon only choose to fight smaller people, that's why he's avoiding people like Aspinall who is bigger.
dc only fought people bigger than him? you do know dc is a natural heavyweight who’s one of the only champions in history to miss weight for a title fight due to his weight bullying right? height doesn’t equal size buddy
@@beonowak6414false. Those guys were bigger than him. DC is a true light heavyweight who fought Anthony Johnson, derrick lewis , stipe etc who are taller, larger than him.
My goat finally getting his just recognition. Only lost to the absolute best and a cheater. While being at an older age and basically had every physical disadvantage vs his opponents.
DC is my homie! Love how passionate he is with teaching children wrestling. Im from Belton, TX. Been to Killeen many times. You the man DC. Im so sorry your precious little girl died man.
I always say this no one at 5’10” can become champ at lhw and hw with no ped. JJ i feel shouldn’t even be in goat list cause whether or not ped increases performance but it definitely gives a mental edge and confidence that you are superior and you have more mental clarity and belief that I am better cause of ped.
I used to say "DC NATION" for a reason during DC's fights. I always rooted for him. I was over the moon when he became a double champ. I was devastated during DC vs Jones 2. I was gloating to a few coworkers who thought Rumble(RIP) would beat DC in the rematch. He was one of my favorite fighters and the lack of respect for him was frustrating. I've seen some people call him a joke...an Olympic medalist with multiple titles and defeated everyone at least once except Jon. Casuals man...for real.

DC is older, shorter and dosen’t cheat but still gave Jones a run for his money while clearing his division. Jon is a goat because it’s popular to say, DC is a goat because it’s facts.
🤔
@ Jon is great in performance and ofc wrestling etc. but I’m terms of the DC rivalry and comparison, DC actually KOs and submits, Jon iirc does submit but mostly wins by decision and uses PEDs in his hardest fights. DC dosent much like GSP and still ate through his division.
@@Flungz_99 Let DC and Jon fight each other both in their late twenties and DC beats Jones. Not to mention DC cut a lot of weight to get down to 205 as a freaking 36 year old! I’m glad people are giving the DC his props.
@@RINGSx5 EXACTLY Jones is amazing performance wise and DC even agrees. It hurts seeing Jon not caring and would rather cheat.
Yea sure guys keep living in your hypothetical world age was not a factor in the first or second fight cormier looked awesome jon is just a bad matchup yea sure dc may be the goat in life but in mma no you can't watch jon fight dc and see how dc wins

Incredible role model
@@lionelrivera_MMA Great video/documentary, really did a great job highlighting his greatest tragedies and his persistence, heart, and mentality to just keep pushing to be great, which I think he’s definitely done.

Cormier basically achived everything jones achived, appart from beating jones himself, the difference being he did all of that without cheating, without roids, without running away from challenges and most important, without being a comete piece of human shit, not just that, but also being a amazing human being.

1:02:00. Fighters play a slick game with the PR speak when they say "there was only a tiny amount of steroids in my system at the drug test". Steroids are done during training. You'll never see a fighter test positive with massive levels of steroids in their system. They clean out their system before the test. So the fact that there is even trace amounts of PE's during a drug test shows just how much was in his system during training. But I love when Jones says "we are still trying to find out how they got in my body". Hahahahahaha. Thats pure politician right there.
FINALLY someone to did a video about the story of DC he is such an amazing person that gets so much hate and it’s sad
Agreed
DC is a legend, his trilogy with Stipe is astounding, a good man with a great career.
I been skipping this video for weeks just off the title alone .. wild title but I’m bout to watch for sure love the channel keep shining bro

When dc was getting off the stage at UFC x after his live show of good gut bad guy I was in line for some autographs when dc walked past me I asked him for his autograph which he didn’t have to sign he was only there for good guy bad guy and he was on his way out he signed my shirt and I’m pretty sure I was the only one who got his autograph that day which is sick
Wow noice congrats
'I took a offbrand cialis pill" Ayo JJ we are dumb but we arent absolute morons
I still can't believe Jon Jones even made it this far in the sport and was allowed to compete. Speaks volumes about the moral compass of the UFC. He is a disgrace to the sport and a waste of human life. Truly a POS. My heart goes out to DC for having to deal with so much unjustified hate towards him. DC is a wonderful human and I'm so glad people finally woke up and saw the truth. Amazing documentary!

@@DLarus08 See you when they fight and Tom gets folded like the rest.
1:14:40 I never "hated him for it"... and I doubt most others did either. DC wasn't a "better" fighter than Jones, but he's without a doubt 10× better man than Jones ever dreamed of being.There's more to life than being the best at a particular sport. He was great in wrestling AND MMA as well as being a great human being.
Many fans absolutely hated dc
@@lionelrivera_MMA I don't think it's why you said they did though. I think it's because he put a spotlight on Jones wrongdoing, and used it as an attempt to sway the fans. which is the reason I personally believe people didn't like him. by using negative things jon did, as a reason for people to like him.
@@johnearley187I mean that a reasonable thing to do...
Cormier’s resume is supremely underrated. Going 22-3 with his losses being against Stipe Miocic twice when he was quite arguably in his prime (in the first fight DC was absolutely blasting Stipe and likely would’ve TKO’d most guys who didn’t have the chin and toughness that Miocic had). The third “loss” was in 2015 to Jon Jones. They had a rematch two years later where Jones viciously knocked out Cormier but then tested positive for a PED. With Jones’ use of recreational drugs, PEDs and the fact that HE HID UNDER THE FIGHTING RING AT HIS GYM FOR OVER 10 HOURS it’s safe to say that Jon was taking PEDs for multiple fights, including his first “win” against Cormier. Chael Sonnen, who also fought and was dominated by Jones, said that as soon as he clinched with Jones he was thinking, “I know your secret. I know what you’re on because I’m on the same thing”. Chael said “Jones was on more juice than Tropicana”.
So I don’t count his loss against Jones and his first fight against Stipe was just a masterclass in adjustments and coaching by Stipe and his corner.
I wonder if people would remember DC’s career differently if he was built more like Alex Pereira instead of being built like an average UFC fan (with more fat than DC and minus all the muscle).
He definitely isn’t talked about and respected as much he should be.
“i don’t count jons wins over dc”😂😂 explain dcs 7000+ testosterone level i’d love to see you try since we’re bringing opinions in here because the facts are that jons whole entire career on paper is completely clear from any sort of ped usage and anything other than that is an opinion😂
How could DC have a 7000 test level if these guys don't have anything on "paper". Jones is a bum. He's so easy to beat. With no refs, just poke him in the eyes. And it's over. That's it. Done. He's a bum. He juices up , just to poke eyes. What a clown. He'll be crying with 1 eye poke, and then straight bawling when he pops dirty for peds afterwards.weakness
@@kenw2225 i’m not sure what you’re talking about but jon jones is by far the most complete and well rounded fighter in ufc history without even a close comparison and if anyone is eyepoking without a ref and rules it’s jon jones with his 85 inch reach i’ll tell you that much😂
brother, at these levels everyone is juiced to the gills. Everyone is on as much as they can get away with. It's only degenerates like Jones that take it to ridiculous levels that get caught by these tests because the testing is so easily cheated it's ridiculous. Same for the Olympics. Everyone is juiced out of their mind. Hard work, talent and juice is what gets you to the top. People who aren't on juice can not compete with people who are no matter how talented they are.
Maturing is realizing that while Jon maybe viewed as the better fighter DC is better than Jon in every facet of being man

@@realcade Fighting under PEDs? Right. If he can't fight fair then he can't have my vote for being a better fighter.

Daniel Cormier is a great man. I didn't know the difficulties he'd faced in his personal life, makes what he achieved even more impressive. I reckon he would smacked jones up too if Jones wasn't on steroids.
Just wanted to add, I think the reason Jones repeatedly juiced before DC fights was because he was scared
Maybe, but we'll never know

It may change after the Jones fight to appeal to people outside the sport but I agree. I love it too
DC have only fought guys who are bigger than him and won most of the times. Jon only choose to fight smaller people, that's why he's avoiding people like Aspinall who is bigger.

I used to say "DC NATION" for a reason during DC's fights. I always rooted for him. I was over the moon when he became a double champ. I was devastated during DC vs Jones 2. I was gloating to a few coworkers who thought Rumble(RIP) would beat DC in the rematch.
He was one of my favorite fighters and the lack of respect for him was frustrating. I've seen some people call him a joke...an Olympic medalist with multiple titles and defeated everyone at least once except Jon. Casuals man...for real.
