Never understood the DC hate really. A lot of people viewed DC as the bad guy in his rivarly against Jones. Glad majorty of people in hindsight have seen that's not the case
The DC hate is because DC is a hater! It's that simple. You can dislike how a man lives his life, but to shit on him like he did something to you personally is ridiculous!
@@darthrevan6861born with the longest reach in ufc history, got given a title shot at age 23 when arguably he didn’t deserve it, took peds with the company knowing and they “missed” it, i get he broke the law but his life was peaches and cream compared to dc
@@gimpystimpy5304 I agree with most of that but DC also had good genetics and "gifts", everyone does who gets to this level. But that's not my point. I only said that he made his own life much harder with the peds, the cocaine, the police stuffs and all that. ,,got given a title shot at age 23 when arguably he didn’t deserve it" Respectfully I disagree. He has beaten Matyushenko and Vera whom are not known by the average post Conor-Khabib casuals but they were big names and really good fighters at their prime (Matyushenko was 10-1 in his last 11 fights prior jones), and the Bader fight was a clear number 1 contender fight. That division was insanely stacked, but at the same time it was full of so many legends who lasted so long that at that time everybody fought with everybody pretty much. Pretty similar to today's Lightweight division without the one dominant guy, but the LHW division had even more big names.
@@yokaigypsy no they do make you stronger tho and when you’re being kicked in the head I’d say it matters…so does everyone else which is why it a no contest
DC was furious when he found out Jones popped and even wanted to sign a release to be able to fight him. Yet Jones wants to stay as far away possible from both Aspinall and Ngannou. Crazy
in jon jones defense about the nganou fight. Francis himself said that jon wanted to fight him but jon and the ufc couldnt agree on the contract something about them not willing to pay what he wanted. still do i think jon would have won against francis? i'd say his chances are in 1/4.

@@davidstenbak5118 Not being on side (MAGA) is more than enough. Unlike pro-Trump sympathizers, we will never know what a politician's butt tastes like.
That's a fucking MAN right there. Capable of incredible violence while simultaneously be exremely gentle and caring with his family. And to have this attitude after going through so much !!!! What a wonderful role model.
People always forget that Jon is a guy with longer reach, taller height, and he’s younger not to mention he cheats using PEDs. 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.
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
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
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.
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
Haven't watched the video entirely yet but, Its not hard to tell who the better man is. DC is a real life role model work hard play hard he's a living legend and I feel for all he's been through. Also Legendary getting two of your vids in less than 2 weeks so awesome keep up the good work man you're making my favorite videos right now by FAR.
@@lionelrivera_MMA I've been meaning to ask, do you ever have any plans to make a video on Lyoto Machida? Him and that era of UFC is still my favorite era by far.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There's only a handful of mma channels that aren't full of bs click bait repetitive nonsense aimed at the younger fan base. Yours Lionel, is one of the best of these You provide interesting, well produced and brilliantly delivered content. Keep up the great work and stay away from the low hanging fruit. Thanks very much 👍
@@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 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.
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?
You didn't need to do that to sold me DC, i'm a fan since i heard about him 15 years ago. Heck i even watch regularly a DC highlight from 2014 as motivation ! But i'm glad you did, thank you very much !
Thank you so much for this video. I’m so disappointed at how people love jones over Cormier. To me Cormier has and will be one of the best and REAL men to come from the sport I love. A real family man. A real competitor. A real hero
Never ducked anyone, never had any controversy and tried his best in every single fight.. started mma AFTER his athletic prime and was the smaller shorter man in almost every fight in his career. He is an elder statesmen and uncle figure to all fighters.. how can you not love DC?
My girlfriend once said after watching a fight with me, (Daniel Cormier Vs Stipe) "He's a great fighter but he reminds me of a mean uncle, or cousin, because he has that mean Pitbull face"| I laughed, but I totally got it. His manner and face are that of a real square shooter, no fashion plate, and definitely the uncle that gets called when you mess up. Lol. Jones is just blessed with large size, and is one of the most boring fighters I've ever seen. Oblique kick, counter punch, oblique kick, counter punch forever. He's never been the kind of fighter that stays in the pocket and bangs. I don't even need to address his personal life. Cormier for the win.
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.
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.

Nicely done, Mr. Rivera! You're a helluva documentary filmmaker, and this one might be your best. Which is really saying something, because all of your videos are excellent, so that's proof that you're only getting better. Truly great work, my dude.
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!
1:00 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 😢
I have only seen 1 UFC fight in my life I believe it was around 2016 a friend invited me over it was these 2 guys fighting and I remember thinking the taller lanky guy was just a way better athlete. ~ Jim from Pasadena
Rumble Johnson is a better LHW win than any Jon Jones win. He beat a prime Stipe and Derrick Lewis. The HW goat and KO goat. All while DC was already past his prime. Jon ducked Francis and Tom. Didn’t beat a lineal HW champ. Had to leave the division bc of Reyes. Constantly in and out of the sport, testing positive for drugs. Which is why he was never popular. New (dare I say casual) fans don’t understand why he wasn’t considered the goat over GSP for so long or why many older fans don’t. It’s bc he hasn’t been a consistent champ who defended the title routinely in a decade.
DC has got to be the most under appreciated champ in UFC history. Bones’ out of octagon shenanigans pulled the spot light away from Daniel for so long. Truly a shame he doesn’t get his flowers, great video Lionel 🍗🍗
Hey Lionel. This may be the greatest tribute ever made, to one of the greatest fighters to ever walk on planet earth. Thank you for this. You have a new fan and subscriber.
The fact that you reply to almost every comment is surprising to me. not every youtuber has that connection with its viewvers. You are doing a great job! also great video!
We as fans have to stand up against Jones. We have to let Dana and Jones know that he is not our GOAT and will never be. Most pops for PEDs, endless scandals, dirty fights, cheating, abuse of females, more cheating, fighting middleweights for most of his career, fighting "the lion heart" to a decision, ducking Aspinall. Jones will never be my champ, never be my goat. Ever. DC is a true sportsman on the other hand.

keep em coming you are the best
I appreciate that brother
Nicely done, Mr. Rivera! You're a helluva documentary filmmaker, and this one might be your best. Which is really saying something, because all of your videos are excellent, so that's proof that you're only getting better. Truly great work, my dude.
I appreciate that a ton
This might be the best video you've made. Brilliant. The section at the beginning about DC's daughter brought fucking tears to my eyes.
It brought tears to mine just making it
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!
1:00 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 😢
It's a sad story my friend
Omg I didn't know about his daughter I have a daughter this shih makes me cry
I have only seen 1 UFC fight in my life I believe it was around 2016 a friend invited me over it was these 2 guys fighting and I remember thinking the taller lanky guy was just a way better athlete. ~ Jim from Pasadena
Watch this. You'll love it
DC getting the love he deserves, and I'm here for it
🤝🏼
Subtitles for Stipe and then ,directly after, no subtitles for Khabib! 🤣🤣
Haha
New Lionel Rivera video? I am SO there!!!
👌🏻
Can't wait for Saturday night when Jon retires and leaves the UFC for good 🙌
😳
Rumble Johnson is a better LHW win than any Jon Jones win. He beat a prime Stipe and Derrick Lewis. The HW goat and KO goat. All while DC was already past his prime.
Jon ducked Francis and Tom. Didn’t beat a lineal HW champ. Had to leave the division bc of Reyes. Constantly in and out of the sport, testing positive for drugs. Which is why he was never popular.
New (dare I say casual) fans don’t understand why he wasn’t considered the goat over GSP for so long or why many older fans don’t. It’s bc he hasn’t been a consistent champ who defended the title routinely in a decade.
🤔🤔
DC has got to be the most under appreciated champ in UFC history. Bones’ out of octagon shenanigans pulled the spot light away from Daniel for so long. Truly a shame he doesn’t get his flowers, great video Lionel 🍗🍗
Up there for sure
this title should be in the bible its glorious
Ha
Daniel Cormier is Greater than Jon Jones................ finally someone said it.
Sweet Video Drop, brotha! Perfect timing, too. Keep up the great content!
Thanks bud
Based. DC is a legend.
💪
Hey Lionel. This may be the greatest tribute ever made, to one of the greatest fighters to ever walk on planet earth. Thank you for this. You have a new fan and subscriber.
That means a lot thanks
No way bro is replying everyone
He's not
I always thought DC was the goat for years. Him and Fedor. Both men of great character.
Imagine if they had fought
DC was my fav fighter. Dude always did it the right way and is just a stand up dude. Also doesn't hurt that he's a Cowboy! 💪🤠
Cowboy?
Love DC and don't understand why people hate on him so much. Guess it's because he isn't a piece of morally deficient trash like Jones
I love the title bro
It may change after the Jones fight to appeal to people outside the sport but I agree. I love it too
dc vid after a don frye vid. in 10 dayssss. beautiful. your work deserves high praise man, thanks for your efforts and time
Jon duck Jones isn't a tenth of the man DC is.
Oof
The fact that you reply to almost every comment is surprising to me. not every youtuber has that connection with its viewvers. You are doing a great job! also great video!
I appreciate that. I try to respond to everyone on the first day
All dc wanted was to be the best, the guy he fought for it was juicing and blew his shot.
Let’s go!!! Another Lionel Rivera banger 🔥
🫡
Daniel black fedor cormier
They actually called him that in strike force
We as fans have to stand up against Jones. We have to let Dana and Jones know that he is not our GOAT and will never be. Most pops for PEDs, endless scandals, dirty fights, cheating, abuse of females, more cheating, fighting middleweights for most of his career, fighting "the lion heart" to a decision, ducking Aspinall. Jones will never be my champ, never be my goat. Ever. DC is a true sportsman on the other hand.
Louisiana represents the real Blk American community 💪🏾 jon jones is a immigrant.(likely Jamaican) born in new york
