      Dagestani's don't like to be acknowledged as Russian for the most part. I visited Dagestan for 3 weeks and what I found interesting is that they still view themselves as a separate country and believe they'll have independence again. Funnily enough one of their biggest issues with being acknowledged as Russian is that Russia has a reputation for alcohol, namely vodka. Because Dagestan is a Muslim state they strongly dislike being linked to a country with such deep rooted reputation in liquor.

    Daniel is a stand up genuinely good dude. Great coach! Great person however always he also wanted to be the goat and always came up a few yards short of beating that coke head.

    Daniel Cormier without his UFC belt is like Mike Tyson without his famous face tattoo. It's weird.

    The way he ran thru strikeforce was legendary. Made a lot of HW’s legends look like bums the way he slammed them over and over
