[@roughtobebufftv5990]

Cormier is an all time great. You cannot kill what will not quit. Living the dream Jon Jones squandered.

[@bobommc13]

RoughToBeBuffTV Maybe but Jon Jones sent him home crying 😢 with two Ls

[@roughtobebufftv5990]

Adam Henry duh. damn straight he did. I'm huge MMA fan and a fan of Bones. 2 fights in 30 months tho? It's just a shame is all. DC, a man of character and class. Bones talent is undeniable but could to take some notes from the guys doing the sport right.

[@thenotorious6552]

RoughToBeBuffTV still can't beat Jon jones

[@seanbaugh3239]

Adam Henry That's okay........D.C. demanded that they keep 2 boxes of Puffs ring side in case Lesnar gives him the "Jones" treatment. *"NUFF SAID"*

[@erictross6311]

RoughToBeBuffTV stfu my cousin is the greatest of all time tf

[@trill4177]

The fight we really want to see is, DC on Popeyes vs Jon Jones on cocaine

Based Trill 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@slymer5817]

"sorry I went dark on you Dana, I got popped for PED's and had to wait out a suspension"

[@Ermac_______________________69]

Yeh that's not what happened. Do you not know how things work in the mma world? The suspension doesn't begin until you enter usada testing. He will start his suspension now.

[@slymer5817]

Kai M ugh... Shame on me. What a dummy I am. Sorry your mma Highness.

[@fatherlessfreddy754]

Ahhahahahahahaahah

[@gamimoose5203]

I don't want to watch Brock fight unless he is on roids. Its part of his appeal

[@AcidGlow]

*DC vs Brock is gonna be epic! ✅🙂*

[@crocopde]

YOU PEOPLE ARE HIGH ! BROCK IS NOT FUN TO WATCH!

[@robzilla758]

Wack just for money this fight Brock got no hands

[@4realRecon]

AcidGlow round 1 KO

[@dh0967]

Dc gonna finish him inside 2 rounds

[@pratheekrv2619]

AcidGlow winner gets Jones

[@jacobbuckley9948]

[@seanbaugh3239]

Jacob Buckley I'm watching with no underwear on............ And I just ate 3 Spicy Bean Burritos in a row. *"NUFF SAID"*

[@jacobbuckley9948]

HOLDDDD UP XD

[@forcedentry2010]

Without socks on? What are you, a fuckin' monster? Get the fuck off my internet.

[@ksubswithnovideos-us7bn]

Jacob Buckley me

[@zdog3338]

Yes , just realized my little toe is getting longer than the rest, wth

[@hoodie4955]

jon vs dc 3 jon vs Brock jon vs cain we need these fights before one of them retires

[@moosh7208]

Edwin Arroyo Cain is one of his best friends. That wont happen..

[@adriansalallandia3300]

I like how u guys are thinking here but idk why I see Gustafson vs Cormier 2 and then brockly loser vs Cormier after that happens Jones will take over

[@rahulcooluniyal8890]

wanna see stipe comes back nd destroys dc

[@DWILSONBR-NOLA]

Edwin Arroyo Facts

[@NeedMoreJuice.]

Jonny Bones will come out on top.

[@corpyhogan4433]

Brock needs to stop holding WWE hostage and just stay with UFC

[@jballday3668]

Corpy Hogan week is trash as long as lesnor is champ

[@DasFlippityFlop]

Corpy Hogan the problem is when you hit 40 (Lesnar’s age) you really start to decline in terms of fighting ability. In a few years he won’t be able to be in the ufc anymore. Where as Lesnar could be in the wwe until he’s like 60.

[@kizwiz6]

He's already 'retired' twice and is in his 40s. How many fights do you think he's going to do? WWE is the easy money option for longevity. Blame WWE for giving him the main title just for promotion

[@marcleon1513]

WWE is doing that so Brock can erase CM Punks' title reign record of 424 days. It'll be over soon.

[@Dewaynesite1]

Marcus Charles Speaking of CM Punk 😂😂😂😂😑

[@RK-gm1ep]

lol at Ariel not interviewing Dana

[@Givejordr]

Soooooo when will Brock defend the Universal Title?

[@shxpe95]

Marcos Guillen bruh the point is, fake or not, he’s stalling the company by going to a complete different sport and going for a completely different title.

[@BigWilt2000]

That has nothing to do with UFC

[@ragingrich95]

Givejordr lol good one 😂😂

[@ragingrich95]

Notorious_smallboii of course he just making money moves lol

[@Flowerz__]

Lmaooo there gonna do Invasion 2.

[@thehh5118]

"Let me do that again." It's uncut baby! 😂

[@shavons5331]

Is everyone in the comments section forgetting Brock is a former UFC Champion? And he actually has a 6-3 record in the UFC so its not like he's trash or just got here. He's taken out legends

[@ronki23]

Shavon Suggs 5-3. The Hunt fight was NC

[@vasileciurdas4690]

He lost his debut lol beat an old Herring and earned a title shot and won the title against a 50 year old Couture who was significantly smaller his only legit win was over Frank Mir and got lucky with Shane Carwin 0 Cardio and after was destroyed by Cain and Overeem in the first round.

[@ronki23]

Vasile Ciurdas doesn't matter he beat Carwin and Mir fair and square. Herring was a veteran and Brock manhandled him while Couture was 45. This is exactly why Brock must defeat Cormier, to prove haters wrong once and for all

[@alphacraig2001]

Shavon Suggs Got picked apart by Cain and his fellow juicehead Ubereem. Brock talked his way into a title and beat men passed their prime to get it. He faced real competition against Cain Velasquez and got fuckin obliterated. He faced another Roid Rager in Alistair Overeem and got fucked up. DC will replicate the performance Cain had because AKA already has the formula to pick apart Brock Lesnar.

[@yonugG23]

He barely beat Shane carwin honestly lucky they didn't stop it early and well........ we all know what Cain and Overeem did to him...

[@chiefleaf4236]

Daniel Cormier will only get all the glory when he beats jon. Til then hes the guy who beats everyone but jon. He knows this deep down and will fight jon again because Daniel is a true competitor. Hopefully the fans get the trilogy.

[@thehh5118]

"A cross between Anderson Sliva and Jon Jones", now that's something!

[@johnward5147]

I think what about the other heavyweights thats climbing the mountain and winning fights

[@BiggestChungus21]

Next thing we know Tyron Woodley after defending his belt, challenges Royce Gracie.

[@Balvonzo]

What watch is Brett Okamoto wearing?

[@SaulAguilar.]

"Dana over here selling wolf tickets. Y'all eating them right up" - Nick Diaz

[@RemyKingKen]

“We don’t do gimmick fights”

[@xskat3mast3r53]

When’s this fight

[@flatearthfatboy9589]

Hats off to DC 🎩. Junkie Jones at home being salty 😣😥😬

[@quigglyjohnston6118]

Flatearth Fatboy Junkie Jones is better than DC

[@DWILSONBR-NOLA]

Flatearth Fatboy Jones is better than DC on and off Coke, PEDs

[@packlesswolf1]

quiggly johnston if hes better why did he have to use PEDs?? Cause hes a cheater so shut the fuck up

[@eldio2124]

Flatearth Fatboy why would he be salty? Think about it. If anything this furthers jones resume. Jones dominated and humiliated DC, a guy who is a two division champ. It further shows how great jones is to beat DC

[@WetsuMir]

packlesswolf1 he’s better so shut the fuck up just accept it

[@CMFTR-]

Brett has to learn to not be so awkward with his interviews. Like him but he is very strange to have an interview with and it showed.

[@LaBrother]

Dided i just hear Lesner and USADA in the same sentence??

[@coldbeee]

Ufc is the wwe mow

[@ardnfast]

On Derrick Lewis v Francis Ngannou "fight" - "The weigh in was more exciting than the fight" LOL

[@jr5296]

Jon was at home crying. Missed that super fight with Lensar lol

[@Scorpio1177]

How does Brock Lesnar jump all the Heavy weights to get a title shot? Dana is just chasing spectacles instead of real competition for the most money.

[@user-ke8qg]

Both wrestled D1 college.. gonna be a great matchup

[@rgwak]

Since when did the UFC turn into the WWE?

[@michaelnoneofyabusiness9566]

MMA was based on WCW you idiot. Pride literally copied their ring walks, lighting, big screens and lots more.

[@swaglad9728]

Michael Noneofyabusiness you do know MMA existed before WCW idiot

[@salafi666]

For some reason, when I close my eyes.. I can't see..

[@surferxblood]

Where's Ariel????

[@natvan3000]

SURFER X BLOOD fuck that little instigating weasel

[@Mr805lucks12st]

We need Dana white vs Vince McMahon.

[@brandonalvarez7462]

Dana should definitely let Paul heyman speak at the press conference when they have it for DC and lesnar. Heyman hustle

[@lukelook3930]

DC will destroy Brock just like 8 years ago like Cain did to him! Let's go Daniel "Double Champion" Cormier 🏆🏆🐑👑✊

[@edwindejesus1573]

what round you got brock going to sleep?

[@thenotorious6552]

alexius ligaya he ain't beating jon jones tho lol

[@shxpe95]

John Wick how the hell is Jon Jones supposed to beat DC when he can’t even beat addiction?

[@thenotorious6552]

Notorious Small_boi bro if you can party and beat the shit out of a professional fighter,then you are on another level. Jon will always be Superior to DC

[@mikevrabel5349]

DC making mad money while JJ sittin home broke af

[@spiderjump]

What a joke the ufc has become?

[@kingammo6090]

Spider Salticidae Explain.... ??? HOW ???

[@Whimsical-_-Gaming]

King AMMO 6090RP r u kidding 🤣

[@kingammo6090]

That fight has a MILLION Buys all over it! they are Contenders.... But that Won't Generate the MONEY that a Match-Up Like DC vs Brock would be.... Very , Very Simple Guys... Those Contenders are not going anywhere... BUT.. Money Fight First

[@spiderjump]

King AMMO 6090RP brock has not won a hw mma fight for years. His win over hunt was overturned.

[@Whimsical-_-Gaming]

King AMMO 6090RP lol just saying wwe probably has millions buying it and if we are talking about views that stupid joe Weller vs ksi fight had millions of views it's not that the UFC is getting boring it's getting dramatic and fake af and really stupid

[@benjaminlloyd8524]

Coasta vs Yoel Romero!!! Or bring Michael Venom Page!!! God please MVP!!! Come to UFC!!!

[@embrozhaghieh8118]

we will miss Brock Lesnar suplexing in the ring after SUMMERSLAM

[@Dacano56]

So then the ufc rankings don’t mean shit...act like fool - sell tickets - that’s the new UFWWE...sell tickets - no skill - Dana and his crooks have taken all of the dignity out of the mma...

[@seanbaugh3239]

I don't know which news I'm more excited about...... D.C. vs. Lesnar or...... The dump I'm about to take after eating 3 Spicy Bean Burritos in a row. *"NUFF SAID"*

[@shxpe95]

Sean Baugh faxx

[@plgdubbs_2116]

Wait so what happens to the universal championship and raw is he gone😂😂😂

[@Agentshadowolf]

Wait a minute how can Brock Lesnar fight in the UFC while he still the current Universal champion in WWE

[@Bandcentral]

Agentshadowolf he’s going to lose the championship to Reigns

[@siddhantyeole]

Coz he doesn't give a shit abt the WWE or the Universal title 😂 he'll give the universal title in a heartbeat for a fight with DC

[@CesarM780]

It will be a title for title match

[@Flowerz__]

Omuerta Genetix exactly. We gotta figure this out. WHO IS THE TRUE INTER DEMENSIONAL ALL PARALEL UNIVERSAL AMERICAN WORLD CHAMPION???! TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO FIND OUT

[@goutywarrior639]

Omuerta Genetix lmao bro.. Good one.. 😂😂😂

[@deez8060]

Dana coked up

[@Mickeymouse7727]

Israel A gettin a shoutout here. Next rising star?

[@CCC13452]

Why have a ranking system if he can just come in and get a title shot... Fake turning into the WWE

[@frankmathews]

Dana White gives us the fights we want to see.

[@BigWilt2000]

DC vs Brock is gonna be a classic

[@AxeCheeks]

This is why the ufc mma is not a sport anymore. Its exhibition fighting. Brock does NOT deserve a title shot, but as far as exhibition fighting and money making goes yes brock will sell better. I just want them to admit it isn't a sport. It is....what it is

[@swaglad9728]

Matt Dimes UFC MMA isn't a sport it's just MMA the UFC is the organization, get it right, MMA is the sport

[@ai3619]

Who thinks this looked staged?

[@MCJOHNSON95]

I think brock and dc might have negotiated this if dc won. But i dont think others were in on it

[@kingammo6090]

STAGED is a very strong Word.... Like they go in the back and rehearsed these things... Look Brock knows how to rile up a promo and Cormier being a hardcore wrestling fan knows the opportunity that this fight has so they played up to it... Shit not STAGED get that word out of UFC.. it's has no home for it

[@lonewolfe9137]

ai3619 because it is. UFC is wwc but real fights

[@jesseedwards1981]

DC has stated multiple times he wants a money fight.. I think it probably was staged unfortunately. Hypocritical, considering everything he has expressed about known PED users. However, DC still deserves a red panty night 🤑

[@mikevrabel5349]

Staged af

[@morganyu3838]

Anyone else get the feeling it was supposed to be Brock vs. Stipe but DC spannered that shit?😆 Happy for DC.

[@ventura80503]

They have good actors I the UFC.

[@pratheekrv2619]

Costa vs adsenya

[@8BERZERKER8]

mohana vitala they're not gonna crush their two rising stars

[@pratheekrv2619]

Chavez let's both fight you seem to have a good body, I like to test my fighting skills with somebody

[@AssadKhalif]

what about the jon jones situation? I mean how are you not going to bring him up in this conversation?

[@benjaminlloyd8524]

Old school!!! Show DC who the realest heavyweight!!!! I want to see a powerbomb ko!!!

[@JIbanez1989]

Can’t wait

[@tylerjoyner9865]

definitely means 50/50 if that

[@sergeylee4902]

Lesnar - the only reason why I'll start UFC again

[@2Fish1Net]

DC is another Dana White’s poster child lol 😂

[@montdawg1]

Cormier better keep dodging Jones and Gustafsson if he wants to keep his belt those two are very dangerous and to risky 😕

[@swaglad9728]

montdawg1 how is he dodging, he already beat gus who is 3-3 in his last six and doesn't deserve a shot, and Jones keeps dodging fighting clean

[@montdawg1]

swag lad man DC barely slip pass guss and he admitted Gus was a tuff opponent 😟

[@karljonson3287]

This is not fair to the lightweight division.

[@profileone5655]

Stipe vs Cain Nganou vs Lewis rematch Dc vs Brock That’s what I would do next

[@wheresmylighter9465]

Got damn dana white really red

[@truther11seeker63]

Wow. No Miocic-Cormier 2. Dana does not seem to like Stipe.

[@swaglad9728]

Truther11 Seeker stipe got koed in the first round no fighter who gets finished in the first round deserves an immediate rematch

[@tim707max]

But mark hunt

[@KunalSingh-qs1qu]

Dana White just quack quack, When brock started his ufc carrier dana said you don't belong to ufc and he got his answer, put him in the octagon with brock, the only problem is brock's injury and age factor

[@IR17171717]

People be like "UFC is like WWE now!" Getting people in the cage to trash talk and push each other isn't new. It just isn't.

[@CodyDTD]

Stipe Meooositch 😅😅

[@squalman8567]

Why is Lesnar next in line? Other then money..Can anyone answer that?

[@squalman8567]

His last fight was Mark Hunt from what i remember..WTF

[@franklinfannin1610]

That's a dirty move. It's all about the ppv numbers. Forget about the fighters waiting in line for a chance for a title fight. Brock comes straight in and gets a title fight and was tested positive for steroids in his last fight. No wonder fighters are going into other organizations.

[@alaindexter2009]

I am sorry to say : when your «Crowned Top Fighter» has the physical attributes of «Humpty Dumpty»... your banner is in trouble. And when YOUR next major fight will involve Brock Lesnar... the UFC banner will be drawning to the abysses.

[@jleos0095]

Novinsky time for a fucking coffee break!

[@pokerace420]

I thought unranked fighters couldn't fight for the belt....?

[@tuainajotogotogo7956]

Wtf.. So he can test positive in his last fight and not face consequences then come back and get an immediate title shot? Bullshit

[@TonyArenas]

Roid Lesnar and Crack Bones Jones should be epic fight vs usada ! Fireworks!

[@bryandumat908]

UFC is becoming a reality show, dana is trying to bind those strings on dc. He must really miss mcgregor

[@seitan90]

DC is superman, but Jon Jones is his kryptonite

[@TrymYoutubeMainChannel]

xD wow brock as a light heavyweight Dana are u outta your mind x)

[@rodneyp4491]

Hahaha, the UFC promotes a superstar WWE Wrestler Brock Lesnar and will sell big pay per view numbers vs Daniel Cormier and get plenty of media attention. Meanwhile, Scott Coker has not given their superstar WWE Wrestler Bobby Lashley, who is 5-0 in Bellator and 15-2 overall, a fight in Bellator since October of 2016 and are not taking advantage of the ratings numbers he always brings to his Bellator segments. Dana White knows how to keep BIG attention on the UFC, while Scott Coker is still giving excuses after 4 years of being in charge of saying Bellator is building. A big difference between how a company stays number one and how a company stays , well, number 2? Or is it number 3 behind One Championship?

[@LeaderHeat]

Boring or not Lewis came out the underdog by +245 and pulled off the win with back problems. Betting on him was the worst and best thing I've ever watched.

[@brandonperezpr]

After Brock Lesnar and Cormier Fight in The Future, I want a REAL Rematch between Lesnar and Hunt.

[@joemckim1183]

Corner vs Lesnar will be a huge fight, but I just don't see how Brock wins this.

[@doctordoom7232]

Didn't Brock retire already for the second time? Also, a title shot for Brock what the fuck!?!?

[@biplobtamang6786]

People saying UFC becoming WWE need to sit down.

[@beyondquestion]

Ok, so this just came to me lol! UFC (Dana) goes to DC, " look, we all know ur gonna win this (thinking on ground). Once u do, we know u wanna retire, so we got Brock coming in. U go "light" on him, give him a , "good chance to catch u and win, and we'll give u a good "payday" send off. Then, u have BOTH belts, retire as undefeated Heavyweight Champion, and that solidifies a payday for US, when Bones faces Lesnar. U down?"^^ I mean, makes sense ot at least offer, right?!!^^

[@yoyobear3]

Dc has a chance to become universal champion

[@jjkm17]

So can he defend the universal title in the UFC since it’s a universal belt and can be defended anywhere in the universe i assume he’s fighting aliens the rest of the time he don’t show up in wwe

[@jaheimRakim]

Let me get this straight. Brock is the #1 contender for the heavyweight title even though he hasn't competed in 2 years and.. And... His last win was overturned due to him failing usada testing and his suspension isn't up yet

[@dustincupples7735]

jaheimRakim and both matches before that aforementioned overturn were him getting finished.

[@fightdez6073]

Daniel is making jon bone Jones look even better

[@swaglad9728]

Christian Chris no no and no, USADA made Jones like like a pussy

[@00piper18000]

I like how Dana is assuming Brock will pass the drug test, unless his already taken care of that 💰💰😉

[@bryanmahoney3434]

Brock is a Prize Fighter by definition. In the PPV business which is dying from a live event perspective in favor of streaming services UFC is still entrenched in it. Because of that the word deserve does not exist in the fight game. In the PPV business you have to put on fights people want to see whether people deserve it or not. It's about what is gonna draw the biggest business which is why Brock is automatically #1 contender

[@JosephMarchione]

Welp guess brock ain't dropping the universal belt anytime soon

[@vibangigan5336]

I said when WME bought the company that they’d focus on Connor and turn this sport into pro wrestling. I was 100 percent right and I’m pretty much done with the sport now it’s just too much bs and I’m a pro wrestler so yeah man I’m good on this shit

[@350zboiseth7]

Brock gone kill dat man

[@damitrimoore]

Congrats DC get your money now. But I don't wanna any more complaining about Jones when want to fight Brock. D.C. Is gonna get an easy check.

[@thelegendarycapricorngoat7887]

Dana set up stipe. No belt to snatch from dana this time. Dana knew exactly what he was dping

[@rbaz9454]

Where the fuck is Ariel?

[@timothysweezey1291]

Dana White continuing to reward cheaters

[@orbitthegalaxy3448]

Am I the only one who wants to see John jones come back...just to see what kind of drama he stirs up !

[@JJones-nf9ce]

Well if he was worried about steroids with Jon Jones then he should expect the same here. I thought Brock was suspended for a dirty ua after fighting Mark Hunt

[@rampage5524]

If anybody has seen him WWE is still missing their world champion---oh wait nevermind we found him Brock's made an appearance at a UFC event.

[@nickzrodlo9934]

DC VS JON JONES 3 is the fight i honestly feel DC will smoke Lesnar its just a money fight to solidify his retirement Jones is the one DC wants

[@KevinP32270]

Is Daniel nutz?? LOL

[@vibeizolierupreo8273]

DC figured out dispite his championship and ability he will never be as big as Brock. How many of you knew about DC before he got his first title! Looking forward to it...
