DC discusses strategy against Stipe, why he won't fight Blaydes, & Lesnar push

[RJK]

Interesting video of DC for anyone who missed it:


Discusses:
- How his strategy beat Stipe Miocic
- How he's glad to have something separate from Jon Jones
- Why he won't fight Blaydes and other up-and-comers
- Why he's glad he's "come second" most of his career
- The whole Lesnar situation including the push

DC is an awesome guy

Huge win for him finally able to separate himself from Jones like he said.

It's a shame ESPN didn't do DC and the bad guy instead of Ariel and the bad guy.

No amount of strategy will help him vs lesnar. He's too small even miochick who outwrestled him. Lesnar will take him down, chest on chest and destroy him. Cormier ko of stipe was sick nonetheless

I hope this is true. Am a Lesnar and DC fan.

there really isn't any point in a blaydes fight if he is planning to retire in March. He probably has 1 LHW fight and 1 HW fight (Lesnar) left. No point spending that on some guy who I am a fan of but very little people care of (blaydes)

For LHW, since Jon is out I'd say it's probably Gus.

Yet still feels the need to mention Jones. I don’t have a dog in this fight, but it’s DC’s own self, who can never separate himself from jones. That man, will forever occupy permanent residence in DCs head.

DC is is the toughest touchy guy ever

Randy said Lesnar was very hard to control in the clinch, and found it difficult to actually hit him while he was holding him against the fence. Still, the biggest risk to Lesnar in that position though is the same as Miocic: we saw against Randy that most of the clinch-strikes came as they broke away from each other.

So DC's strategy could easily be similar to what he used against Miocic. Striking and dirty boxing from the clinch, especially during the breaks.

I'd be very interested to see who wins the takedown battle, if there is one.

Couldn't agree more. Him stating it really just says how much it bothered him to begin with which really I already knew. The guy is way to competitive for something like that not to bother him.

Not really a DC fan, but couldn't be happier for him. Good interview. I'll say this for him, DC will tell you what he really feels and doesn't shy away from admitting his failings.

DC has made Brock a priority, but is adamant he won't fight him if he's dirty. I hope he's got a plan B because Brock is looking juicy.

Where do you children come up with this nonsense?

Brock had very serious issues with Randy fucking Couture. A 44 year old 220lb man who Brock outweighed by almost 70lbs on fight night. He was losing the fight, and had virtually no success in grappling vs Randy.

The beating he's going to get from DC is going to be hilarious.

While I agree with you that DC is going to run through Brock. I don't remember Brock having any serious issues at all with Randy.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Good line by DC by telling Lesnar You could push me now but I'll sleep you later. I want to see a flat line KO.

 

[NinjaSkillZ]

So he basically confirmed that this isn't about competition and see who is the best Mix Martial Artist, but rather all about the money.

Yeah, this sport is legitimate, that is if we can call this a sport anymore.

Wrong, Cormier is light years better than Lesnar.

It will not be competitive.

Brock has entered the testing pool.

USADA hasn't tested Jones in 7+ months..

We might just get to have nice things!
