Throwback Daniel "It's Over" Cormier

[ReasonableMan]

Here are 23 UFC or Contender Series fights in which Daniel Cormier declared during live commentary that a fight was ending imminently by TKO/KO or submission. Cormier was wrong in all cases.

In four of the cases, the fighter Cormier said was getting finished went on to win the fight.

I have only admitted cases in which Cormier expressed certainty that the fight was ending and was wrong.

This is not the same as saying a submission is "locked in" or "tight". It is also not the same as saying a fighter "looks/seems defeated".

• Brendan Allen vs. Kevin Holland Round 1 0:30 remaining: "Awwwww he's got both hooks in and CHOKE! He's got it! He's got it! Awwww it's tight! It's OH-ver. It's over, Cruzie. It's good night, Cruzie!"
• Trevin Jones vs. Saidyokub Kakhramonov Round 2 2:02 remaining: "He's done"
• Chase Hooper vs. Daniel Teymur Round 1 1:40 remaining: "It's over."
• Chase Hooper vs. Felipe Colares Round 1 0:20 remaining: "He's gonna pass out."
• Jimmy Flick vs. Nate Smith Contender Series Round 1 2:43 remaining: "It's over. It's over. He's going to have to tap here."
• Alonzo Menifield vs. Ed Herman Round 2 1:10 remaining: "Oh, it's OH-ver. He hurt his leg BAD. That leg is DONE."
• Kevin Holland vs. Marvin Vettori Round 3 3:42 remaining: "Oh, he's gonna get it....Oh, he's got it. That's tight. It's over."
• David Dvorak vs. Steven Erceg Round 2 1:15 remaining: "It's done! That's tight! he's gonna submit him!"
• Brendson Ribeiro vs. Magomed Gadzhiyasulov Round 2 4:05 remaining: "He's gonna tap."
• Andre Fili vs. Bill Algeo Round 3 2:58 remaining: "Oh yeah he's got 'em. It's done.....oh he's got it now it's tight. Yeah it's over."
• Shamil Gaziev vs. Martin Buday Round 1 0:36 remaining: "Yeah if he's going to his belly, yeah it's over."
• Ronaldo Rodriguez vs. Ode Osbourne Round 1 4:06 remaining "Oh Rodriguez is done."
• Rogerio Bontorin vs. Kai Kara-France Round 1 1:14 remaining: "Oh now it's...now he's in trouble. Now it's done."
• Jonathan Martinez vs. Said Nurmagomedov Round 1 3:13 remaining: "It's over"
• Eryk Anders vs. Jamie Pickett Round 3: 2:40 remaining "Oh he's cut. Bad cut! It's over."
• Ricardo Ramos vs. Josh Culibao Round 1 0:51 remaining: "He's going to put him to sleep."
• Steven Erceg vs. Alessandro Costa Round 1 0:47 remaining "Oh he's gonna choke him out."
• Jiri Prochazka vs. Alexander Rakic Round 1 2:42 remaining: "Oh yeah, it's over."
• Myktybek Orolbai vs. Mateusz Rębecki Round 2 4:07 remaining: "Oh he's done! He's done!"
• Charles Radtke vs. Daniel Frunza Round 1 1:14 remaining: "Now it's over."
• Hyder Amil vs. Fernie Garcia Round 1 2:12 remaining: "Yeah it's in. It's over."
• Sharabutdin Magomedov vs. Antonio Trocoli Round 2 0:35 remainig "Aww he's gonna finish him."
• Dan Hooker vs. Benoit St. Denis Round 2 2:54 remaining "He's gonna tap. He's gonna tap."

Honorable Mentions are for cases in which, although Cormier was incorrect, the attacking fighter did finish his opponent in a subsequent sequence shortly thereafter in the same round. For example, Vieira failed on his first arm triangle attempt against Brundage ("It's over"), but the second attempt did end the fight.



Honorable Mentions:

• Cody Brundage vs. Rodolfo Vieira 3:55 remaining: "It's over"
• Julian Marquez vs. Marc-Andre Barriault Rd 2 2:11 remaining: "It's over already!"
• Yadier del Valle vs. Isaac Dulgarin Rd 1 2:20 remaining Brendan Fitzgerald: "He doesn't want to tap!" Cormier: "Well he's going to have to here in a second."

This required a lot of research, did you use AI?

Can you do one for all the times Rogan has said that a submission is locked in?

 

[HHJ]

Imagine actually taking the time to make this

So he said it was over and it aint over, so what?

We all do that shit

 

[Dionysian]

Silly question but I wanted to clarify: Did the guy being attacked actually survive in all these instances? Or did you just catalogue him saying the phrase even if some were actually over?

 

[Kwic]

In fact, it was not over.

Allen-Holland Rd 1 30 seconds remain
Jones-Kakhramonov Rd 2 "He's done"
Hooper-Teymur Rd 1 about 1:40 remains "it's over"
Hooper-Colares Rd 1 about 20 sec remains "he's gonna pass out"
Jimmy flick vs nate smith contender series Rd 1 2m43s remaining "it's over. it's over. he's going to have to tap here."
Menifield-Herman Rd 2 1:10 remaining
Holland-Vettori Rd 3 3:42 remaining
Dvorak-erceg Rd 2 1:15 remaining "it's done! That's tight! he's gonna submit him!"
Ribeiro-Gadzhiyasulov Rd 2 4:05 remaining "he's gonna tap"
Fili-Algeo Rd 3 2:58 remaining "oh yeah he's got em. It's done.....oh he's got it now it's tight. yeah it's over."
Gaziev-Buday Rd 1 0:36 sec "yeah if he's going to his belly, yeah it's over."
Rodriguez-Osbourne Rd 1 4:06 "Oh Rodriguez is done."
Bontorin-Kara-France Rd 1 1:14 remaining "oh now it's...now he's in trouble. Now it's done."
Jonathan Martinez-Said Nurmagomedov Rd 1 3:13 remaining "It's over"
Eryk Anders-Jamie Pickett Rd 3 2:40 remaining "It's over"




Honorable Mentions:

Erceg-Costa Rd 1 0:47 seconds remain "oh he's gonna choke him out"

Brundage-Vieira 3:55 remaining "It's over:

Marquez-MAB Rd 2 2:11 "it's over already!"

Ramos-Culibao Rd 1 51 sec remaining "he's going to put him to sleep"


Someone make a compilation video plz thank you

Joe Rogan school.

Jack Daniels has spoken
DC is broken

 

[HHJ]

I analyze MMA as a profession. Years ago I noticed that Cormier does this often and found it amusing. I thereafter began recording each instance as I came across it. No AI used.

As for Rogan, a submission being "locked in" doesn't mean the fight is over. I therefore wouldn't find such instances so funny.


No, there is no other commentator who has even come close to this level of inaccuracy in calling the end of fights. There are even more examples than I listed, as this list only goes back about four years.

So the list is incomplete!?!?!

Go put the rest in!!!!

 

[Thesnake101]

Silly question but I wanted to clarify: Did the guy being attacked actually survive in all these instances? Or did you just catalogue him saying the phrase even if some were actually over?

From the first list 9 of those went the distance.

Buday got finished in the second round - never had Gaziev in danger in that fight so I assume Cormier said it in one of the times Shamil rocked him.
Bontorin/KKF ended as a KO win for Kai, but he survived really bad positions early so I assume DC said it when Rogerio had his back and was fishing for a choke.
Hooper mauled Teymur, that call was a bit premature but didn't backfire or anything.
Allen vs Holland went to the second round, don't remember much besides it having some scrambles before Brendan subbed him.
Hooper mauled Colares (RIP) and I don't really remember Felipe having any moments there, just another case of him jumping the gun but the outcome not being too different in the end.
Jones/Kakhramonov ended as a comeback win for Saidyokub, don't remember much cuz it was boring prior so couldn't tell you what Dan was referring to there.

This is all going from memory so I could be off in some of these.

 

[svmr_db]

That feeling when you say "We are so back" 5 minutes after you say "It's over":

 

[Harlekin]

Joe Rogan: OOOOH that leg is already compromised

Somebody landed their first leg kick


On the other side, it's funny how Cormier commented on DDP's wrestling.
"He needs to handfight, 2 on 1 in this situation, kids learn this in school"
Or when he tells that he teaches 6 year olds to avoid certain mistakes pro fightes make.

Someone make a compilation video plz thank you

DDP vs Izzy, at the start of round 4 he said, "DDP is done."

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Fatso is so, so bad at commentary. But his PTSD freakouts whenever someone gets knocked out (especially by high kicks) are entertaining

 

[Quietus]

You can attribute that to DC being a coach and spending a lot of time in the gym training and sparring, he sees guys get in positions like that in sparring and tap out because it's just sparring and isn't life and death. So, then he assumes people will tap there in a real fight where as you can sometimes use heart and willpower to survive a submission if you really want to (i.e Volk vs Ortega guillotine)

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Imagine actually taking the time to make this

So he said it was over and it aint over, so what?

We all do that shit

Not me. I praise JBG and allow late stoppage

 

[Natural Order]

That's deep Joe!

 

[GrantB13]

Him and Rogan. DC might actually be worse at calling a fight over these days.

 

[HHJ]

Not me. I praise JBG and allow late stoppage

lol

its not about WANTING it over, they just think it is
