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.

If you didn’t like DC it’s gonna be hard to hate dude after this interview. Living Legend👏
-
please make a movie on this mans life.
-
This is the type of interview i revist again and again
-
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…

DC is my older cousin, & he is right about playing football in front of Northside. He had us in full pads tackling each other in the Louisiana HEAT. We also would wrestle on the side of the house made wrestling belts out of cardboard. When my family didn't have a place to stay My Aunt & Uncle took us in, we lived together for some years. We used to do a lot of things growing up. Man, we used to do foolish things as well. I am so proud of DC to see where we were as kids and now as adults is a blessing coming from the Northside of Lafayette,La

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.

DC is a great role model. He has overcome so many obstacles but has remained positive. His success is the fruit of his positivity and hard work.
-
“Holy sh*t i’m on my stomach, I know i’m not suppose to be here” 😂 This whole episode was HILARIOUS!
-
I wish they'd have time stamped the parts about each fighter
-
Channing throwing shade from time to time like DC wouldn’t end him 😂
-
Man you can tell DC was being himself. You can hear that Louisiana in him heavy!!!
-
Man cant believe DC kept it together talking about his late daughter and then his mother. That must be tough. God bless brother
-
DC is one of my most important black inspirations growing up. This interview is phenomenal
-
No time stamps… amazing
-
Dc came in second place so many times but never gave up on himself and realized his potential. That’s why he is number one today and a hall of famer.
-
Never heard DC speak. Never knew much about him. He had me crying laughing. I’m now a fan of him. I love this show. Thanks for letting your guests speak. Thank you for the atmosphere you create. Years from now we will be talking about how this show has changed the entire landscape of interviewing and having honest conversations. I love you guys and if you were a stock I’d invest all that I could because y’all going all the way up. Thank you

Ryan Clark was so salty he was getting roasted he had to go low and hit the crying line 😂
