    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 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 18+ Only.
