UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormeir joins the Pivot in a special conversation after his recent 2022 Hall Of Fame Induction in Las Vegas.
One of the trailblazers for the UFC and former light heavy weight and heavy weight champion, Cormier, known as DC, is one of the most respected and gifted athletes to come out of the sport.
Channing and Fred have been waiting for this moment to have DC, who is Ryan's co-host on their ESPN UFC show, finally sit down with the group. It doesn't take long for the three of them to join forces and team up against Ryan on everything and anything that comes up.
DC, a Louisiana native like Ryan, shares how his upbringing didn't expose him to a lot outside his community and that pursuing wrestling instead of football molded him to have a different childhood. Watching his parents work multiple jobs and stay positive through tough situations helped him develop a "no quit" work ethic and was the foundation for his long prosperous career.
Detailing his journey of loss and struggle, DC talks about how the difficulties in his life only helped propel him to the next level of success and only work harder. Losing his daughter tragically, his father on Thanksgiving and mother recently...his journey hasn't been a clean one but how he was able to bounce back better from adversity is his message. DC shares that without all life's adversities, he wouldn't have all the fortune, the success and the accomplishments he has today.
Currently a commentator and tv personality for the UFC, DC gives praise and talks the differences of the modern day athlete vs the ones during his time and also talks about Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather and Jon Jones, recalling his bouts against Jones, who he still doesn't respect and explains why he has never been able to make peace with that part of his career.
The guys laugh their way through some of the tougher moments in the conversation and share an important life message for anyone who may be experiencing hardships on their journey and open up about fatherhood and the roles they serve in their children's lives.
New Episodes of The Pivot release every Tuesday at 12 noon eastern with special drops on Friday afternoons. All shows are available on KZbin, Spotify, Apple and other audio streaming platforms.

That crying thing DC mentioned is empathy. It happens to me all the time. As a grown man with a better understanding of life; I truly and honestly do not want to see other people hurt or suffer. Seeing others in pain I can damn near feel it…

[@benenriquez1858]

Real shit we as men in our environment are groomed not to show emotion or be emotional. So the more you hold in and the more you grow as a person it just needs to come out. Me having kids young saved my life and helped realize that showing emotions is needed.

Most of the hate was because he fell for Jones play. People knew DC wasn’t like that but he let Jones bait him in

[@_edrinwilliams]

Listening to him talk about his relationship with Jon Jones from a personal and professional lens was powerful. I love that he kept going back to “that dude was so gifted but he wouldn’t let himself be great.” That’s a perfect description of Jones from someone whose legacy is forever linked to him.

[@SHAiD-]

I mean kinda silly though, he is one of the greatest of all time in the sport. Dude is absolutely a hall of famer, unless they screw him over and don't give it to him for his out of the cage antics.

[@dianaestima6438]

@@SHAiD- but that is debatable when it shouldn't be. It could have been so much greater and no one can deny it. If Jones had a calm mind outside the cage he would have been double champ for years now

[@Browser404]

@@SHAiD- Nobody screwed Jon over but himself man. Outside the ring.. well we all know. Inside the ring, he's had too many incidents that automatically put an ! beside his name. So he's not actually deserving of entering the hall of fame as he has not represented himself or the sport very well. But I could see them doing it at some point but hopefully not for a long time as it won't do him any good at this stage of his life.

[@afkaustin]

@@SHAiD- Barry Bonds in a way

[@Onamorata]

I feel this, but also jones wasn’t even training and was merking these fuckin guys. That’s not steroids. Steroids doesn’t make you a smart fighter. Jones is a technical genius. His use of distance and having an 84” reach as a 6’4 fighter was used as a huge weapon. Steroids helps with not getting tired and not need to recover, and having some extra strength In some situations. His suspensions will follow him, but he still would have beat anybody regardless of that.

I was surprised he didn’t touch on his daughters death a bit more because she didn’t just die in a car accident. His daughter died to a DRUNK DRIVER who caused it.

DC, you are the man dude. I laughed so hard because my dad is the same age as you , a bit older but he's going through that exact same thing. I look over while we were watching a movie and he starts tearing up lol I appreciate it a lot. He used to never show emotion and so I think it's awesome. It's healthy and makes ya stronger.

[@zeroe297]

I already liked Daniel alot... after seeing this.... I'm sold bruh. Great dude. Happy for his success. Truly deserves everything he could ever get.

[@LordRockington83]

Love DC! So glad folks are getting to see this side of DC. Great Pod!

[@DarnellJenkins]

Wasn't a big DC fan before but dude has grown on me. So much respect for him and it's nice to see this side of him. Perfect example of only seeing one side of a person and not really knowing who they are.

[@PastorFunK]

This is the type of love and respect we all should show to each other. We can still joke on each other and talk shit but, still keep a level of respect where people aren’t arguing and screaming at each other. This is so good for the culture!! 🏆💯💪🏾🔥

[@Fishing_foodie]

Absolutely brilliant interview! Hats off lads👏🏼

[@frisco_3855]

Man I stay re watching this specific one every time I do I be dying 😭 man y’all chemistry is second to none then it’s only brothers on top of that dawg ❤️🔥

[@ceasarmyles1059]

I'm one of the people that didn't care much for DC. Now I can honestly say he is one of my favorites. DC and Channing was definitely podcast gold.

[@benjac9]

One of my favourite fights was the 1st Jones- DC fight. It was intense and neither was willing to yield an inch. It was inspiring, even Jones & DC’s reaction immediately after the fight showed both men had sacrificed so much. Despite the steroid failures of Jones, there rivalry was unmatched.

[@tobia.1281]

Facts. That shit was historic. In the era before the UFC was sweet.

[@DGRAHAM4]

I met DC father in law he was a client of mine, he spoke very highly about DC. Very standup guy. He loves his family very much.

[@kiameenacevedo8239]

I appreciate what you fellas are doing. Keep it up.

[@mariocomrad]

DC has really grown on me over the last few years. Growing up as a teenager and adolescent I was a Jon Jones stan.. getting older and maturing I realised DC was the real role model and man of character instead of Jones. What a fighter and overall great dude. Respect

[@usmcmikeco0651]

no one said Jon was a role model.... but dont kid ypurself Jon is the GOAT

[@ricojohnson6351]

Jones has nothing to do w this. U don’t hv to put down jj to compliment dc🤣🤣

[@mariocomrad]

Jones tried to act like one with all the politically correct answers and religion bullshit though. He should have been himself ( the heel/sociopath) from the start and just embrace that role. I agree on him being the greatest fighter to ever step foot in an octagon. The drug test fails will always be something that can be used against him though. And I can’t blame people for doing that

[@mariocomrad]

@@ricojohnson6351 bro, just saying that I was such a huge JONES fan, I hated DC for being his rival. As years went on, I started to like the dude for who he was. He’s seems like a funny, honest, stand up dude and made me feel guilty for not liking him. Big fan now..

[@ralphthompson355]

@@mariocomrad Prime example of why celebrities can't have fans as friends. They will turn on you eventually

46:00 As a teacher, I commend dude for putting his kids on Khan Academy. Shit works. Helps for everything and is free SAT prep.
