@@izzygallegos1310 And bested every other opponent he ever had. Can’t blame a guy for losing against Jon Jones, that guy is just different, and very possibly the undisputed goat.
Because he was at the top, there's no point taking lower fights just to take more damage if they aren't for something that you want. He got to the level where he had that luxury and fully deserved to have that choice.
Only 1.78cm tall and managed to be a Double champ. DC fought his whole career against Giants. Edit: I was sarcastic about his height, it's meters, but DC was something like an Atom Ant 🐜 in UFC, so centimeters is also right.
@@90sbaby6 what a surface deep comment. They’ve both referred to each other as close friends. You can tell that from broadcasts. Joes doing his job. Should he have not be kind? Or are you saying that you know for a fact that joes respect only extends to the broadcast? Just pointlessly toxic. L comment.
@@alsage9992I mean that’s water and calories he didn’t have to lose for the fight. That extra bit of weight could have been enough to get him ko’d on a significant strike. That’s why if you mis by even a pound you don’t get the belt if you win.
Ugh the pit in my stomach I felt when I saw this live. Not even my favorite fighter but there is something sobering about watching a legend hang it up. Especially the tone it was in.
I hated him when he had his feud with jones. I really slept on his skill because of his appearance and quirky personality. But after watching more of his fights and his commentating he truly is a legend.
It sad. It’s like this one guy said about Em, he lived. If Daniel had died you’d be talking about how amazing he was. Dude got a modern fighters goodbye. He ended it the way he wanted it to end. Not your personal storybook.
Having people like Joe in today’s society is crucial. Someone that will support you and let you know that it’s alright. Gives you a meaningful pat on the back for the years of hard work.
Chael always says "you don't wake up and decide you're done with MMA one day you wake up and MMA decides it's done with you" and it's the realest thing he's ever said
You know DC is feeling super emotional about all of it. Respect to this big dude. He’s super talented and anyone who watches this man’s art will always learn something new 💪🏼 NOTHIN BUT LOVE N RESPECT FOR YA DC!
I'm a Stipe fan and I'm neutral with DC but that video really made me emotional, I'm here to tell you: Stay strong, hoping you have a great life and I hope you find your dreams, DC is proud of his career, he is a HOFer and don't worry, Stipe will be the HW GOAT and MMA GOAT, and when he gets through Jon and FN, DC will no longer feel ashamed of losing to someone like Stipe.
Maybe at the time you posted this comment, watch Robbie Lawler retire that shit fucked me. It could be because he was 1 of my favourite fighters grown-up. It just hits different.
@@ftw_mxnny7181 also him. But against Stipe, dc showed us his true colors. I don't like him at all. Even when he is a commentator, he's too biased. Too much.
I was never a big DC fan but danm ive always had love in my heart for the man i remember him falling for that left high kick he said "he'd never fall for that" and it broke my heart to see him crying
I remember the 1st fight i saw him in it was his last fight before coming to UFC. He flipped the guy, called out the top guys in ufc and told them he was on his way. I was by myself running around giddy like “ooooohhhhh”. Knew it would be a good time but had no idea I was being entertained by one of the greatest (Men) to ever do it. A rose for one of my heroes. Thank you Brudda!
Rogan’s a legend for this this was during the real bad pandemic ppv’s I remember such a legend retiring in front of no one. Me seeing that couldn’t have been any better given the loss and the no fans.
I can only imagine the emotions behind leaving something you love to do for your own good. That last compliment by Joe Rogan made me tear up. He pays his respects to a legend of the sport. I know that meant a lot to DC. Damn it’s so emotional
He was a great and passionate fighter, every time I see him talking about / to other fighters it’s positive. He will for sure go down as one of the greatest influences / coaches in ufc history
Joe Rogan is an amazing interviewer. Knows exactly what to say at the right moments.
that's what I thought as well.
All the dude does is talk I hope he knows what to say
Exactly why he's podcast is so successful. Such a good listener and speaker with an insane amount of knowledge

No better wrestler in ufc history than this man. Legend

He's humble this, brother, and you have to take your hats off and give him his respect he earned it. Joe defo shows respect to his people, too.
