Dominic definitely does more research than DC a lot of times I feel like DC is just handed a page on both guys 15 minutes before the show and wings it. Meanwhile Dominic actually inputs things that you wouldn't know by just watching the fights. So, honestly it shouldn't have been that big of a deal especially since DC admitted that he doesn't do research and has someone else put notes on paper before he commentates fights. DC has always been soft with his emotions and that's been shown throughout both of his careers.

      Not really, DC shouldn't have gotten emotional about it. We're talking about a guy who'll put himself down on a moment's notice just because someone else was setting up an excuse for him right after the hardest night of his life. When DC saw it, he should've thought yea he's right, after all he literally admitted to it anyways so why is he acting all butthurt because someone called him out on it respectfully. He said he gets people to take notes and gives it to him before the fight so obviously Dom was right. DC will start crying over just about anything.

When the camera pans round often DC is on his phone. The truth hurt.
      Cruz is great explaining moves and his knowledge is plain to see. Although the last few times he's been on he's been showing his loyalty to the fights he wants to win nad that's a DC move

      He was already biased before the fight since his pal was fighting. So he should have tried his best to provide an unbiased commentary. Yes alot of commentators have a biased take at times. They are human after all.
      He happened to voice his disagreement with Herb's decision to stop the fight late on a live show......while the ufc brass was watching the whole debacle. Put up a complain after wards or in private with Herb or something. Dan was an employee working for UFC then and his actions reflected on the UFC branding on a live show. Not a good look.

      Yeah I'd like to see them keep that same energy with anybody that was seen at a "mostly peaceful" BLM riot.

      This is what I hate about Joe Rogan. MMA didn't used to be filled with racist idiots like you but Joe's bought you in.

      Wait Pat Militech was at the Capitol riots? He's a domestic terrorist and your white ass is upset he got fired? He should be in prison.
