The Daniel Cormier Show

DC IS BACK with another episode of the Daniel Cormier Show, this time with Cormier doubling down on his criticism of the refereeing of Dan Miragliotta in the Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan fight this past Sunday at the UFC Apex in Last Vegas. DC says that standing up the fighter cost Renato Moicano the fight, despite the fact that Nolan was outstriking Moicano and arguably could have won the fight on the feet later on. Cormier argues against the rules that are in place, and believes that common sense would be to allow the fighter with back control to continue to fight from that position. Hear DC break down the incident, and why he believes despite his greatness as a referee, Miragliotta made a critical mistake that cost Moicano in the end and may alter the path of the rest of his career in the UFC.  18+ Only.

Daniel Cormier IS BACK, this time after Alex Pereira mentioned DC's name in an interview this week, claiming people like Daniel and others with big followings were the people who pushed the Josh Hokit and Ciryl Gane heavyweight title fight and ultimately why he isn't getting his shot right now. DC responds to Alex Pereira's comments, and reiterates he was NEVER TOLD by the UFC to promote that fight and doubles down saying that Hokit-Gane is the fight to make. Cormier also says Pereira's comments about him "not being champion" after beating Gane are untrue and have to be a misunderstanding, because he never said he wouldn't be champion. DC said beating Gane doesn't make Pereira the UFC GOAT, but it would absolutely make him champion since he'd have the belt. #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
