Daniel Cormier IS BACK to talk the biggest headlines in the UFC and MMA, this time reacting to a crazy encounter at the UFC PI in Las Vegas between Sean Strickland and Nassourdine Imavov following their back-and-forth online. Sean had said he was willing to give up the belt and leave the sport in order to pursue more money in boxing, and so Imavov confronted Sean at the UFC PI and even offered to pay him for a fight between the two of them in the heated confrontation. DC believes Sean is the one, because of his championship status and star power, that has more of the leverage in the situation. Hear Cormier's take on Sean's current situation with the UFC, a rematch with Imavov, and so much more!

Justin Gaethje went viral after his appearance on Andrew Shultz's ‘Flagrant’ podcast, teasing retirement from the UFC and a lack of desire to rematch Ilia Topuria or fight Arman Tsarukyan. See why DC says that there are NO GOOD OPTIONS for Gaethje here between retirement or fighting No. 1 contender Arman Tsarukyan, Conor McGregor, and even doing the rematch with Ilia Topuria. Arman is currently a heavy favorite in that fight, Topuria was already favored in a rematch following Justin's White House win, and Conor McGregor would mean he'd have to likely vacate the championship belt. Hear DC break it all down, and speak on what he believes is next for the champ. #Volume

Daniel Cormier IS BACK to talk all things UFC, MMA, and combat sports, this time DOUBLING DOWN on his criticism of Gable Steveson after leaving the octagon following his UFC 331 KNOCKOUT LOSS to Sean Sharaf. DC says he spoke to Gable Sunday about the loss, and expects him to bounce back better than ever, despite feeling like he needed to stay in there and accept the loss. Cormier also gives Jon Jones his flowers as a coach, saying he was wrong to assume that Jones wasn't good for the role, and he believes that taking the blame for Gable leaving further proves his potential as a coach. DC also gives his quick take on the massive heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Josh Hokit for the interim belt, which he predicted would happen last week. Hear what Cormier believes is next for Gable, why he will only continue to get better, and where he believes Jon has been a great coach for the young prospect. #Volume
