"I mean come on dude look at me...ive had every pie" had me roaring LOL

I was audibly laughing which I rarely do when watching videos

That's an odd thing to do instead of just laughing

Every MMA fighter dreams of the career DC had. What a legend.

[@Bluepickles333]

That’s true man. He seems like a great dude, a nice guy. It’s crazy how he could turn that switch on and be a savage in the cage. He was fun to watch and he’s fun to listen to.

[@TheAaronDuck]

As long as you forget he couldn't beat his biggest nemesis

[@Bluepickles333]

@@TheAaronDuckcmon dude. Nobody could ever beat Jones, that doesn’t diminish how great of a fighter DC was. Daniel only lost to two men in his entire career. He never lost in Strike force, he was the double champ, and the majority of his fights ended in finishes, not decisions. That’s like saying Conor wasn’t a good fighter because he couldn’t beat Khabib.

[@dblackATGB]

I know DC didn't really pull that "We're in first place" thing with the Saints, I know he didn't want to tell Ariel their record.

[@stevencorey143]

Would be awesome if you could get 5 title fights. Aspinall v Stipe Alex v Izzy or Hill Strickland/Plessis v Izzy or Whittaker (if Whittaker wins a fight before then) Edwards/Covington v Belal or Usman (if Colby wins, Usman highly likely option) Zhang v Saurez Gaethje v Holloway for BMF belt would be a great addition as well

[@adeviantproduction]

In all seriousness, Ariel and DC should have an hour long chat after major WWE events and just talk wrestling. Make it a podcast or whatever. I just want to see Ariel and DC hang out, separated from MMA topics and interview questions.

[@brandonluther80]

They talk about talent level but the ones that leave and go PFL or Bellator they don't dominate and some were ranked in the top 5 when they left the UFC. The PFL fighters need to start trashing UFC fighters and calling them out to do one fight deals in-between contracts.

[@enriquenoel1]

Watching these makes me feel like Ariel is the half brother in a family who was the oldest and left because he and his father didn’t get along because he saw the father for who he really was and the father didn’t want to admit that but he is still very close to all his siblings and rest of the family.😊

[@orcanimal]

Honestly, Cormier really did earn it
