Daniel Cormier vs Tim Hartung - 2004 Olympic Trials

[@buddybeavers2691]

Just imagine if he fought in the ufc when he was young. He probably would even be better. He didn't start fighting until his mid 30s

[@mrcrackdonald_1]

Bro if he fought in ufc when he was younger he would be a god. He’s already one of the greatest when he started late, so if he started when he was younger and in better shape, yikes

[@thiccboibray3780]

early 30s i think. still very old to start. i think he made his mma debut at 31

[@munanyo4670]

He would have smashed jones

[@pizzapozz7733]

31

[@ramiro7130]

or even if he fought in lower weightclasses, forgot why he couldnt medicaly cut weight, he wouldve been untouchable

[@vespaman101]

Cormier looks much more explosive here. Wish he would have started younger. But he had to have a wrestling career which has its own merit. Love the sport.

[@H.K.5]

He was more explosive because he was carrying less fat.

[@vespaman101]

@@H.K.5 nah. I was fairly explosive in my teenage years and I didn't really lose it after I gained weight. Might have gotten ever so slightly slower. Mostly it was just endurance. But the speed difference and explosiveness between me at 175 and 235 was minimal. It was mostly endurance. Even recently I went from 255 to 205 and barely got any faster. Explosiveness is more of a training thing not a fat thing. And an age thing.

DC was a killer at 96kg!

[@paulpaul93]

What a powerhouse and all round nice guy. A legend for sure.

[@ckmoto83]

DC always had a very HEAVY body for his height.That was one of his advantages...A very POWERFUL and agile athlete with low center of gravity.

[@bayajc6062]

Unless he’s planning an African safari this will turn out good for him…. Wtf

[@josephbreza-grappling9459]

I had the exact same reaction!

[@billywilliamsii7745]

Yeah a place Far far away would be either the Olympics in Athens or directly Freaking south of Athens is Africa in the same area where people, especially Americans who travel would go on A safari. . For fk sake. Not sure what the shocker is

[@reedfullmer584]

Of course he does better at 97 kilos rather than 184. Nobody that size can move like him.

[@dankk2754]

184 kilos?

[@greathokage5533]

Idk wat about Velasquez

Abdulrashid Sadulaev is 97 kilos and moves much faster than him

Does anyone know what the thing DC did at 2:19 is called I wanna learn it

[@josephbreza-grappling9459]

Front headlock…but when he was threatening to take Hartung to his back, Hartung brought his weight forward, so Cormier he went with hit hard in the same direction, pulling him down to his face. It’s a great example of using misdirection. By initially blocking behind Hartung’s leg, it threatened the throw to his back and Cormier timed his counter beautifully

[@brokeman5141]

Would Cormier been good as a welterweight if he was lean

[@Fiteclipz]

Idk if he could drop down that far, got a good amount of muscle as well, maybe middle weight though since he wrestled around 85 in college

[@evansalehi4417]

Would’ve been a great middleweight, used to wrestle at 184lbs

[@H.K.5]

Maybe, if Kamaru Usman can make 170 then a young DC possibly can.

[@kad9947]

@H.K But his frame is just won't allow it. He is extremely wide relative to his height. A middleweight Cormier will just be an overkill anyway.

[@Joshstix95]

Middle weight DC he would have to be shredded. for example Jared cannoneir

[@avernales121]

im not a wrestler myself and i tried looking for this answer online but i couldn't. why do they sometimes touch forehead to forehead?

[@tristenpratt9297]

So when they tie up (grab on to each other) they’re trying to push/pull/move the other guy into a position where they can go in for a take down. When you’re tied up like that your heads are naturally closer and using your forehead could actually be a good tool. Back when I wrestled I would dig my head into their temple, no one likes that, made it a lot easier to put them where I wanted them to take a shot haha. That answer your question at all?

[@imanuelgonzalez2853]

This is just a personal opinion but Young Daniel Cormier sounds like Kevin Hart

[@leodavies9383]

Dominant DC

[@salcanhatoon346]

Is it me or has Cormier gone soo much chunkier

[@user-pc4uy5pm9c]

Well I believe in wrestling is where the athletic challenge for a wrestler is. Why would they accept mma when they can make it to the top in their sport? Once they are past their prime in wrestling, they move to mma for the dough.

[@250TenoWipes]

No you just prefer wrestling
