    Dc/Chael P
    Great show
  • Fresh Desh
    Love it!
    When DC and Chael P get together, magic happens. Their chemistry, knowledge and humor make for a must-listen!
  • Anthony NorCal

    Just jumped on this cuz I love everything DC and Chael. It’s a must listen if you like to be entertained!! Anthony Nor Cal
  • Savanah1003
    More banter!!
    Fire whoever is saying stay on topic! lol I love when you 2 get off on a tangent about silly things. Keep it up! It makes it more fun.
  • Dr. Dave’s MMA
    Is Conor the good guy or the bad guy?
    Love you both but how is half of your content about Conor McGregor? Dude is irrelevant to the sport at this point and there are so many exciting active fighters to discuss. His last fight was against some old guy at a bar- can we move on already?
  • Chaelle Sonnine
    Disrespectful Chael
    The dynamic between DC and Chael is great which is why I started to listen. However I stopped listening because of how Chael constantly mispronounces fighters name from Alex Periera, Belal Muhammad, Islam Makachev and I’m sure there are others that I’m missing. If ESPN is supposed to be the gold standard of sports news and reporting, their supervisors should mention this to Chael. If they have and Chael does it anyway, DC and ESPN management are a bunch of cowards for not correcting him. These fighters deserve respect and have family pride. Put some respect on these names like Jon Anik!!! I gave 2 stars because I did enjoy listening but can’t stand when talking heads are disrespectful which is what Chael is. Other than the mispronunciations, it’s a good podcast
  • Mygulll
    Great show but….
    Great show. Analysis is spot on and the banter back and forth between DC and Chael is next level. But Chael…..the way you get names wrong is terrible. Sar-kar-ian = Tsarukyan Piera = Pereira Mock-el-chev = Makhachev Chael. Do better.
  • Charliedpd
    Boring, hype train and dumb downed
    Man o’man. Can we have two bigger dolts yapping back and forth? No! This has to be a tier 3 MMA show. Yes, Danny was a good fighter but stay off the mike at UFC events and definitely stop Podcasting. Maybe the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest? And Chael, just go away, such a loud insecure bore Good day
  • happysam213
    Great show, but could use some improvement
    I love the way these 2 go back and forth - I just wish they put more content out, as a 24 minute episode doesn’t do much for me! Also, sometimes the editing is not very good, especially considering ESPN is backing it.
  • defeated and disputed
    no quality control
    Crazy ESPN is letting these files go out with full-length intro music (2 minutes of generic rock music), audio glitches, drift, sudden drops and silences. Nobody is paying attention to this 🤣

  • LollipopYarn
    Great show
    Loved RC, love Uncle Chael. DC is a teddy bear.
  • sherawk
    Stop yelling Chael
    Chael sounds like he's yelling in a metal box. It's literally painful to listen to what otherwise would be a good podcast. Can't do it.
  • headshlt
    Finally
    Good listens thank you
  • hisbkfbofjeo
    Great show!
    I love this show but tbh kinda liked it more when RC was here. Miss ya RC !!! Come back!! But still a fire show!
  • jonr54
    No wwe
    Please stop talking about pro wrestling!
  • J2X155
    Make wrestling great again!!!
    Keep talking wrestling we’re all here for the 2 baddest in the game talking fighting but when this podcast was announced my first hope was they’d cover March Matness in all its greatness and sprinkle in more and more ncaa wrestling as the Pod and the sport grows with the platform y'all have.
  • Come on COD
    Not the same
    Ever since Ryan Clark left the show feels almost scripted instead of just two guys having a discussion… I don’t know if that’s just me, but it doesn’t feel the same.
  • Maygen123
    Yelling
    Broooo stop yelling
  • Lucha4life
    DC/Chael is 🔥
    Way better to have Dc and Chael in this show! Love it!!!
  • JoeyAK7
    Uncle Chael & Double Champ DC!
    Guys you’ve got to check this out especially if you don’t have access to cable or ESPN Live. The two are both among the elite of the elite in the who’s who in the history of MMA on the same show. The fact they are friends and their flow in conversations proves as much. This show is can’t miss! If you need more check out “You’re Welcome by Chael Sonnen”.
  • IAmTheDawgTheBigBadDawg
    The Show, Great. New Intro, Garbage
    The new intro to the show is garbage. If dude thinks that his bars rhyme, it’s time to check back into grade school.
  • No DUI man
    5 stars
    I can’t believe the level of fluidity and chemistry between RC and DC, every pod ya make me genuinely laugh out loud, excellent fight coverage, all the stars all love 🙌🏽
  • Mike420hoe !!!
    Get these bums some decent equipment
    Great show but the audio recording or Wi-Fi is a problem. You would think ESPN would have the funds to do better.
  • Unsdo93
    Audio is awful but good show
    How is this an ESPN production when the audio (usually on dc’s end) is that bad!
  • Lndp4
    love this pod
    i don’t understand the low ratings, i love DC and RC. they both bring different things to the table and i always look forward to new episodes. if you love MMA definitely follow this one!
  • heheheheheuheheue
    Way too many plugs on UFC broadcast
    Too many plugs for a dumb pod. DC is the most incompetent commentator. Ariel is a race baiting rat and RC is just a dumb football player.

  • corpsag11
    RC is just not the right guy for this
    Like many others have said, DC and Ariel were a great combo. RC, however, is just painful to listen to. I can’t listen to another poorly constructed football / mma analogy. Being a fan of the sport for a few years does not qualify you to host a podcast about it. I don’t think RC really even understands the sport. Not to say he’s dumb, but he’s just not built to comment on mma. It’s like putting Stephen A Smith on a UFC broadcast. I recognize Ariel’s relationship with the UFC /ESPN May be unfixable, but there are literally thousands of more interesting and knowledgeable MMA personalities out there. Find one…
  • Invest4decades
    Really enjoyable
    DC is a natural at hosting podcasts. Really enjoying the show.
  • silvz9
    Terrible move
    Replacing a knowledgeable MMA person with a football player was a mistake. It’s basically a show hosted by DC with a casual making side comments. Should’ve kept Ariel.
  • coyis T
    RC stinks
    DC is great. RC is terrible. His lack of knowledge mma wise is embarrassing to be hosting a show this large. Much more qualified people to co host
  • Joe Corbin
    Ryan Clark shouldn’t be on an MMA podcast
    Die hard MMA and Steelers fan so you’d think I’d love this but I can’t stand listening to Ryan Clark talk about fighting. He just hasnt watched it long enough. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about and when they talk about the sport historically he just has no idea.
  • gargutski
    Audio?!
    Love the show but how does an ESPN show have terrible audio every single week? Constantly cutting in and out.
  • jaccsdaddy
    Fix the audio please
    Love this pod but there are audio issues almost every week. Does Dc not know how to use a mic or is it shoddy equipment?
  • Unwiselyon
    Awesome Pod!
    Daniel Cormier and Ryan Clark are two of my favorite people to hear chop it up on MMA! What’s up with the audio quality though fellas? Those boys in Bristol need to get you some finer mics!
  • tfin20
    Poor Audio!
    I want to hear what you guys are saying but the sound on the pod is so poor. Dc constantly cutting in and out is pretty frustrating.
  • Bbbaaacccon

    DC, DC, DC, DC, DC, Khazmat Chimaev, DC, DC, DC
  • Bob-saget-face
    This show… is not good
    I could name 10 combat podcasts that run laps around this one… it’s clear ESPN tried to fill the gap after Helwani left. This show is a hard pass… RC is frankly, not good
  • Really unhappy bored player
    Great hosts - bad equipment
    Love and respect both of y’all so much. I hope this show and the UFC continues to grow. The UFC has tons of money, so I know they can afford better mics and equipment for y’all. I’m tapping out of whatever Walmart great value brand headsets they are using. I am tapping in to the rest of the show.
  • tbruno1515
    RC is now great in my book
    Late to the UFC game and only caught the end of DC career. Glad to now get him on the broadcast side. Had no idea who Ryan Clark was a month ago, but when he put Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago on the list of top knockout artists, I was in on RC in a big way! Great show guys…
  • @patrickdakin
    RC, RC, RC…RC…RC no RC no…listen to me RC, no RC, you got it all wrong RC
    DC DC DC listen to me DC…DC no that’s not what I’m saying DC listen to me DC You both repeat each others names over and over it is extremely annoying and you talk over each other trying to make your point. That fine way to argue when you are hanging out with your boys having Morelos but not when you are doing a professional podcast.
  • gcthornton11
    Give it another chance guys!
    I also hated it at first when Ariel left and didn’t care for RC but once they found their chemistry the show has dramatically improved every week and I’m on team RC now. All I’m saying is if you jumped ship then you really should give the guys another shot because it’s becoming a really good listen.
  • jasengallagher
    Get this man a new mic
    Corporate Jake’s audio sounds like he is recording through an iPod shuffle.

    DP and the Lioness
    Jerzyxplorer Super entertaining Diamond Poirier is going to be one of the greatest champions to ever hold the belt at 1:55 I’m so glad they talk to the Lioness who is the “goat “ and the show was so entertaining and funny I love how they mixed in Louisiana and family life
  • Jmm7n
    BAD w/o Ariel
    I’ll admit that Ariel on his own is like a 3/5. He can be whiny and annoying. DC really took the show to the next level, definitely to a 5/5 with their chemistry and knowledgeable takes. RC is SO bad. He referred to UFC 1 happening in a ring. Dude, do you not understand the difference between boxing and MMA?? I literally unsubscribed at that moment. RC is a total fringe fan pretending to be something more. No chemistry between DC and RC, no interesting takes, and this is definitely not worth my time.
  • Leahsdad92
    We miss Ariel
    RC’s opinions are cookie cutter. And sounds like he is on his phone playing Tetris instead of watching the fights. Used to love DC and Ariel but can’t even stomach 5 minutes of this show anymore. Hope you get a real MMA co-host soon DC so I can start listening again. Mma opinions = Steven A. Smiths > RC. 😂😂😂🗑🗑🗑
  • gazwes_t
    Skip it…
    Too highly emotional dudes that both have extreme bias…
  • Andrew0817
    Love this show but dc needs to do something with Ariel again there great together
    Show is great but miss dc and Ariel
