*DC has fought monsters throughout his entire career.*
If it wasn’t for the stipe trilogy he would be in the GOAT conversation. He doesn’t get enough respect bc he doesn’t mouth off.
@@RT-qz5ci he gets mad respect bro niggas were ready to call him the goat until stipe did stipe
So has Gus
@@slimetruck after GSP and Stipe, he's the natty goat jbj Silva all did roids
DC is a monster himself
How come nobody ever talks about this fight? It was an absolute slugfest
@lucky m3x Irrelevant
@lucky m3x no the reason this fight is overlooked primarily is because Jon Jones vs Alexander Gustafsson in their first fight was arguably the greatness light heavyweight title fight of all time so people tend to forget this one
because the Jon fight is all that matters.
Just because there have been so many great slugfests since but damn was it a good one.
I have always told my mates that this is the second best LHW fight ever
"I'm gonna fuck you up" LMAO DC a savage for that
And he did!
@James rt did you see gus's face???? they fucked each other up
he didnt say that at all you can just read his lips
@@GeneralHellsing yeah, looks like he said "I'm gon' whip you" or something like that
Gustaffson's last 2 wins are against Blachowicz and glover how mad is that
and Gustaffson is only 34. He needs to go for that belt.
@@mokodo_ he announced he’s returning in the summer
Watching gus fights upsets me, he reminds of a cheal sonnen, but just better. He’s been so close yet somehow so far, for real I hope he can get that strap, an amazing fighter I’d be a huge shame for him to not win a title so much potential.
A lot of damage and silly mistakes has really halted the career path. Hopefully he can get back but with all the damage he’s taken and the exposure of his weakness. Who knows
Dominating wins as well.
DC is a god damn legend. Not enough people realized that during his career, but it's heartwarming to see him getting some rightful praise in retirement.
True hes a bit overlooked.
That and he only lost to Jones and Stipe. Regardless for DC, one of the greatest light heavyweight champs in the UFC.
DC is a special man.
Indeed
People forget DC has never had an upset pulled off against him which is amazing. Not even Jones can say that because Reyes basically pulled off the upset and Matt Hamill technically did. Honestly I thought what happened to Stipe against Francis was going to happen to DC against Rumble. I picked DC in the first Rumble fight but I was pretty sure he was going to lose the 2nd fight to Rumble in Buffalo but he won easier. To beat Rumble twice when Rumble was knocking out everyone doesn't get enough credit. Although I didn't think Volkan could beat DC I did think he was a dangerous opponent because at that time he was called "no time" since Volkan was finishing people faster than Ronda when she was at her best.
These two guys were so damn good
FO REAL
Gustaffson was so unlucky that DC and Jones’ fights decisions went the way they did, he is one of the best ever fighters to never win the belt. Interesting that he has beaten the current champion and number one contender
He should make a comeback and try for one last title run
He has beaten Blachovicz and Jiri? Interesting. I’ve been watching Gustafson for years but for some reason a lot of Blocko’s early fights evade my memory since I wasn’t a fan of his until his recent run. He was just an average uninteresting fighter to me.
@@RMichaelHimself No, he beats jan and glover
@@user-uv3li8tk4r I wonder if he would do it in LHW or HW, I would rather see him at 205 because the division seems more accessible than it was when Rumble, DC and Jones were around (Jiri and Jan ain’t no joke either but you know what I mean)
Especially the Jones 1. He should have gotten the belt then and there but it happens:/
I wish Gus would have been champion atleast once
Yeah, he was a pretty cool dude
Everytime I see him vs Jones 1 I get annoyed, he definitely won that fight and deserved the belt
Idk why he is tryna fight at heavyweight i think he can beat jan again and become champion this year if he wanted to
@@daylightharnage242 nah he lost round 2 and got beat tf up in the championship rounds you jon haters just salty.
He can if he dropped back down to 205
I love how dc doesent take full credit for some of his masterful performances, he was a great champ
@Being Real no one clicks on these spam UA-cam links you TOOL
@@lauralishes1 eyy ? Lol
yet some communities remember him only for his eyepokes in Stipe fight... thats just sad.
@@passenger3 He's gone now, there's another one below you though. They've flooded UA-cam over the last 6 months.
@@lauralishes1 you know what he's doing though don't you ?
He's spamming every out let he can for a click and the reason behind his channel has Add's on it - so every person who clicks # he gets paid
Only if DC got into mma in his mid to early twenties. He got in early thirties but still ran through the heavyweight division till he dropped to fight Usada jones
Why does it matter? DC dominated everybody, except Jon ofcourse, which I dont think would be much difference if he got in in his 20's
@@missionpupa trust me it will be different if jones wasn't on steroid . The only losses DC had is against Stipe .
@@chico-209 dude jon would rekt daniel always steroid no steroid dude is just more talented, better wrestler better all around. It's hard for me to say this cuz i like dc and i don't like jones cuz he did alot of bad things, but lets be real Jones is best hand to hand combat fighter of all times in any sport. No matter how much steroids u do if you dont live healthy with it it wont change performance. And jon jones would snort coke and drink on a fight week, if something it was decreasing his performance lol.
@@chico-209 Jon kicked his ass the first fight clean. And then Jon kicked his the 2nd time because he was just a better fighter. Jon Jones is just better than DC
@@smoothcriminal7118 the big difference that helped jon is not steroid. It was mental .he knew that he had an advantage over DC besides the talent and fight IQ .so jon was so confident leading to the fight. Now after all .if jon fought DC and was clean considering Jon isn't that stable and mature guy compared to DC . I'm he loses .
Class acts the both of them. Respect and Salute
For the idiots that mma is not respectful...
It is sad that a lot of people have forgot how great Alexander Gustafsson was , he gave jones and DC the fight of their life.
Not to forget Glover, gave us the cleanest boxing KO in the UFC
@@padraigin2929 what about mac vs Alvarez ko
Jiří ''Im not impressed by my performance'' Procházka
“you ready for a title shot?”
“uhh ok yeah i guess”
Can you imagine Sterling sitting there talking about how he won the belt 😂
DC would fuck up Jiri easily. This dude is all hype.
@@lauralishes1 taking an L, same way DC did.
@@cunecao nope Jirir would beat his ass on the feet and DC would get tired of it and take him down and wrestle him for 5 rounds or get him in some akward ass position and ground and pound him
Eh, highlight could have been better. Should have captured more of Gustafson’s moments (which there were plenty of), especially in round 2. DC would be glad to acknowledge Gustafson’s moments.
Anytime any DC fight is shown, they never put the other guy's highlights in.
@Cregan Stark that was the only significant moment they showed from Gustafson in the whole highlight. The rest was all DC. If you saw the fight you’d know it was an even contest
Come on fellas. This was supposed to be DC's moment! Why would they show Gus's highlights?
DC. The type of guy to spill dipping sauce on his shirt and needs to cover it up with the belt
DC fought Greats all his career and to think he lost against roided Jones and Miocic in his 40s is some elite shit.
No one has ever pulled off an upset against DC.
Gus is awesome for lifting DC up after the decision was read
Give more praise to DC
You don’t give enough
Only every day we gotta here about him
That's easy to say now, people felt way differently about DC a few years back.
How can you not love DC! Respect
The eyepokes tho...
Man...Gustafsson has been so close to get the title...the guy is tough as nails and super talented...excited to see what he does as a heavyweight
is he moving up to heavyweight fr?
@@tommysawhk2099 already had a fight there, where you been?
His first match against Jon Jones was gangster he went that extra mile but Jones got decision
In a recent Swedish interview Gus said he will fight once at HW real soon, and then go back down to LHW
He did ? Only heard he got a visa to do his camp in the states for his next fight. Nothing about lwh.
This was such a great fight, DC is so damn tough to get up from that knee and keep slugging it out with Gustafson. Those clinch uppercuts he was landing were brutal.
Yeah if you’ve ever been cracked with a big punch the ability to get on a single leg after that shows the level of training these guys put forth to keep composure in that moment and stay in the fight. Awesome victory for DC. Gus is a warrior
Can you imagine Sterling sitting there talking about how he won the belt 😂
LOL
To his kids😂
Y'all are ruthless
@@Provesadark7 Haha right?
Sterling's kid "daddy I want to be an actor"
Sterling "ah well you've come to the right person, have I ever shown you how daddy won the belt?"😂
@@lauralishes1 stop Laura
what an emotional and touching expression... "we are bonded forever"
dc is so much underated....ppl forget dc is 15-2 in heavyweight and those two losses are against heavyweight goat stipe at age of 40&41 having done back surgery after lewis fight & not using wrestling in final fight....if not for cain dc would have ruled heavyweight division in his prime slamming heavyweights left & right...also didn't have to fight jones as he would not fight in lhw(his only loss in light heavyweight)
DC is for sure a legend in the sport
natty goat
People also forget that no one has ever pulled off an upset against DC. Think about GSP vs Serra, Anderson vs Weidman, BJ Penn vs Edgar, Ronda vs Holly Holm, even Amanda lost some weird fights at the beginning of her career that you could definitely say was an upset.
@@zeaferjones1404 True that. DC beat most of his opponents. Only Jones and Miocic got the better of him. At least DC can sleep at night knowing he KO’d Miocic in their first bout. Not so much when it comes to Jon Bones Jones.
Man Alex was part of so many great fights and so was DC. We were lucky to watch.
I still wish Gus would of been champ
Me too
@@unai6822 could’ve gone either way, same as Jones Gus 1
@@unai6822 Gustafson definitely should of won this fight even one of the judges thought he won i seen the same fight that judge saw
@@unai6822
On my first watch it seems pretty clear that Gus took 2,3,4 but 2 definitely could've gone either way
He drops down to 205, he might get it
Beautiful fight, refreshing to see genuine respect from each fighter!
Two great fighters, love both of these guys.
I remember UFC 192 like it happened yesterday. Gustafsson is an all time great fighter. DC fought everyone, literally everyone!
Them shaking hands before finishing the war in round 5 gives me weird kinda kinda goose bump chills
I felt the same way
Can we talk about how fit DC looked💪🏾
he looked good, but people still called him fat back then
Gustafsson had 2 amazing fights against JJ and DC. Just imagine if neither of those guys was around, how much we would be saying how great Gustafsson was as the LHW Champ.
I really like Dc, such a down to earth, classy guy. I love his commentating, interviews etc. A pure joy to watch.
never got to watch dc while he was in his prime, such a great athlete!
Hadn't seen this fight. That show of mutual respect in the last round was very cool.
DC is slowly overtaking the Brogan as lead analyst. He's very cool, and has done it all.
"These guys don't know how to fall" is such a simple yet profound observation. Being able to fall gracefully and absorb your impact is a skill even top fighters and athletes may not have. Lol.
I have so much respect for Daniel Cormier. He is such a great spokesperson for the sport of MMA and the UFC. He has gone through wars and was defying the odds. He shows how a lethal weapon can have so many facets to it. He's got so many great attributes to himself and expresses himself so well while equally respecting the fighters he faced. That's what MMA is all about.
DC getting dropped with the knee and weathering that storm was wild. It's moments like this that really make you appreciate these fighters, especially after they've retired.
Gustafsson is my favourite fighter of all time without a doubt. His story is really amazing and one of the toughest men at 205 ever and arguably the best to never win a belt. If you have not read his book i highly recommend it, he is an inspiration
And this is exactly what I see when I remember DC's legacy! Incredible CHAMPION
Wow, DC, is an ambassador for the fight game. Im sure his children are extremely proud of him for what he has accomplished in the ring. Im certain they love him for the person he appears to be outside the ring. He's the best at explaining the intricacies of the fight game and his love, friendship and respect with khabib is gold.
This is exactly why I love DC!!!!
Need more of these retrospectives
Cormier: Fought Gustaffson
Everyone: Tactical Match
DC really has a way with words about fighting, man. Great to hear him talk.
These were easily two of my favorite fighters
More of these videos please!
got chills listening to him talk about it at the end
I remember that fight. Crazy. As a swede I felt sad for Alex, but it is fighting. Both men left everything in the ring. Respect to them!
Mutual respect. Two legends. Never would you see Jones be so humble.
The sequences of upper-cuts repeated a couple of times in the same round....just so entertaining. Legendary round in a legendary fight.
DC love you man! legend! what a crazy fight it was!
DC's height 1.80 and he fought against taller opponents.
If he stayed only at HW he could be truly the GOAT in UFC.
I don't think, that Jones can beat prime DC at Heavyweight.
@@ZyroSugar In Wikipedia, it's show 1.80, but if he is real 1.75, this mean, that he is same height with Khabib.
DC and Alex two of my favorites. Absolute warriors and so lovable and humble. This fight was epic man. I had it 4-1 DC
The respect between those two is legendary. People will always remember champs like this. Not shit talkers.
That was a legendary fight. Warriors!
Gustafsson is all class. Shame he never got the title. Maybe a fight with Rockhold next
Gus is one of a kind, true redemption story. I can't wait for his return
Respect to both warriors
This fight is one of the most underrated fights of all time
D.C legend.nice words
This is the content we need
That was two real warriors ...all in! Takes heart ❤️ to get to a place like that. F'n KUDOS men. 👍
DC never was technically inferior to any of his opponents, he was always fighting size 😭
Fedor vs DC. The only fight we need!
I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking that,I remember when DC was double champ and on top of the world,I was thinking how similar he is to Fedor in style,not so tall,a lot of body fat,but fast hands,good boxing,and great grappling,Altho I think DC has better wrestling while Fedor had better striking
@@lovre9038 DC's nickname used to be 'Black Fedor' when he fought in strikeforce
Fedor has better striking and the fastest hands in Heavyweight, while DC is stronger and has better wrestling. It'll be close, but I see DC take it with difficulty.
Damn, makes you remember how stacked LHW division was back then - Jon Jones, DC, Gustafsson, Rumble Johnson, Glover Texeira, Anthony Johnson.
Crazy
I remember being at this fight, it was a pretty dope card. Woodley vs Hendricks got scrapped so that sucked but it was a badass night overall.....
Cormier is just pure class.
ufc's on par with producing top quality content like this
Beautiful. I love Alex and Daniel
56 Popeye's Chicken employees don't like this. 🍗🤗🍗
I remember when he used to not be a fan favorite and people hated this guy. I never understood it. DC is a legend.
Always enjoyed seeing DC jogging to the Octagon
Loving this show!
DC is the man. Shorter and less reach than most of his rivals. Special man
this was one of the coolest vides ufc ever released
What a great guy
Do we have more interviews like this one?
DC vibes with almost everyone
Gustafsson part of 2 super legendary fights insane
Probably one of the better post fight displays in UFC from that fight between them. I wonder why this came up as a discussion here. Because of Gus announcing his return to action. I was pretty happy about that when I found out the other day. The way he announced it sounds like he's ready to write a new chapter. And it's great that it comes in line with Jones move to heavyweight. Hope the third time's the charm. Hope he can finally get gold. I was thinking bout that not too long ago and kinda salty about it that he couldn't get it. That he couldn't beat DC or Jones. Things will be different this time.
i just love dc the way he describes
Plain and simple I love DC. My hero
Absolute classic.
One again great stuff from DC
Great fight!
Concidering DC's height and reach difference, its remarkable he was able to beat the shit out of so many fighters.
They'll NEVER be another DC!
Im swedish but man i fucking love DC. What a human and what a fighter. Top 10 GOAT!
What a fight!
I still feel bad for my neighbours. As a Swede these UFC events usually start at 04:00 in the morning and end around 06:30-07:00.
During this fight when Alex just remained in the clinch eating uppercuts I was shouting like a fucking idiot for him to get out of the clinch lol. I still dont understand why the fuck he just stayed there, ...Twice. He wasn´t stuck, stuck. And I feel that sequence really changed the course of the fight.
Great idea- UFC Reminisce.
Top fighter talks us through his/her favourite bout. Run with it
What a gentleman 👏
Alexander Gustafsson arguably gave both Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones - two of the greatest athletes in sports - their closest and most difficult fights when all parties included were in their prime years. Just goes to show how many factors are at play when even the most talented of contenders can fall short.
DC is all fun and jokes all the time, but in these moments you realise what made him the legend that he is.
My 2 favorite LHW fighters.
Great insight from DC
Hey guys I have the espn+ and can access to their fight library but God damn it why I can't find so many fights 😭😭😭. I'm pretty sure I'm new to using maybe not understanding every feature, but I think they just don't have every fight in it ;(
3:18 funny how DC says "he lands a beautiful combination to start the round" as it shows both fighters shaking hands
