1:40 wtf was that call by the ref? That changed the whole outcome of the match pretty much.
"You're not penetrating yourself; they're penetrating you."
I guess that makes it OK.
DC doesn’t seem too do well when fighting undefeated champions (Jon jones)
4:03 perfectly timed call lmao
Did anyone else think at first the title said Sanderson was 184 pounds and DC was 2001?
This was before dc knew what food was
That skinny man looks just like a young Daniel Cormier!
Wrestling is just so homo-erotic. I wonder if they are allowed to insert a finger or their penis into the anus of their opponent to make the match more entertaining.
Imagine being an Olympian in Cormier and having 0-6 record against a guy throughout your career
DC became a known towel pusher to make weight and successful eye gouger in the UFC. CHEATER
I would not of bet on chael sonenson beating Daniel D.Carlton Cormier at UFC 188.5 Bikini Boys, but thats exactly what happened.
Cant believe DC was 184 pounds at one point
Cormier here is only a shell of what he became.
So fake, DC has never been close to 184 – Man was born at 250
Imagine this dc at middleweight! Silva would be in trouble!
Also look up there was an Olympic dude who whooped both these guys and other big names .I wanna say he was Iranian but may be wrong.
Judo is kinda more Limited also.. wrestling and bjj is great, Daniel C. Is a Blackbelt also, great humble guy
Lmfao DC just goes up against straight up perfect athletes. That's crazy. That's honestly crazy af.
Dude now that i think about it. DC really is a complete goat. If you think about it. He's not #1 and he's never the best but that makes sense now. Cause he's better off coaching. It's actually insane. He couldn't beat the best but was always right behind the best. What's beautiful. THe coach that was right behind the goats but couldn't be the goat. Maybe DC will be one of the best trainers ever in the future. He knows a lot of technical stuff on a very elite level. Lmfao. DC is a beast
Lol! Wtf did I see at 6:59?! The wood grabbing technique?!😂
I've always thought about if DC could've kept his weight down and fought at this weight in mma. He could've gone down as the greatest MW ever, we saw what he did to Silva who was the MW goat during those years. He also could've won a belt at MW, then LHW and HW and been the first and only guy to win 3 belts. Always fun to wonder about those things
Wow Cormier actually had a proportionate body
Cael was so fast
Utah wrestlers sure are tough!!
Anyone to say he wasnt the goat of folkstyle wrestling is clueless, he never even had any close matches thst i can recall
bro ended up going 159-0 wtf
That stalling call at the 8:20 mark was so bogus. Like, what?
why does DC have hair
Anyone know if the Sanderson v Hahn match is online?
Man wrestlers are no joke. I used to be pretty handy in a fight, but I would never fight a wrestler or a hockey player. Wrestlers because they just get inside you and destroy you. Hockey players because if someone can fight with ice skates on, you don't wanna see um fight in tennis shoes….. Lol
Daniel weighed what I did at 39? No . Theres no way..nope
This Cael guy is pretty good! Has he accomplished much since this match happened?
Smart move holing on to the ankle not allowing the escape with seconds left in the 1st
Cael is a wrestling MONSTER!!!! Now he has Penn State waxing even true wrestling schools like Iowa and Oklahoma! Incredible!!! What a legacy!!! He never gained or lost weight to avoid anyone. He wrestled all those that came out! A genuine wrestling GOD!!!!
Cael probably the best college wrestler ever. 159-0, 4x National Champ, 3x Hodge Trophy Winner, Olympic Gold Medalist, never lost a single match.
ain’t no way that’s DC 💀
Dc at 185 damn
These gentlemen were destined to be great in life. My deepest admiration for both.
amazing, how this show never shoot Daniel Cormier face.
Daniel Cormier has the worst timing ever. Wrestled at the same time as Cael Sanderson and then did MMA at the same time as Jon Jones😂. Talk about bad luck
