When you think wrestling, you think Daniel Cormier—it’s just that simple. The man has lived and breathed the sport, from dominating on the mat as a freestyle wrestler to becoming a two-division UFC champ, making history as the first to defend titles in both weight classes. And even after hanging up his gloves, he’s still in the game, breaking it all down as a top-tier UFC commentator. But when the NCAA finals roll around? Oh, you know DC has to drop in.
It’s practically tradition at this point, and with the energy buzzing through the arena, there was no way he was sitting this one out. Behind the mic for yet another NCAA finals, Cormier had to deliver one last message after the action hit peak intensity. He’s been calling these battles for years, and you can hear it in his voice—he lives for this. The drama, the upsets, the raw emotion of college wrestling’s biggest stage—it’s everything DC loves about the sport.
Daniel Cormier hit up X on March 22, and you know when DC speaks, the wrestling world listens. Fired up and still buzzing from the madness, he couldn’t hold back, “Shut up! That was the craziest endings in NCAA wrestling history. What a moment. I’m so lucky to say I was here.” And honestly? You can feel the energy jumping straight out of the screen.

But hold up—what actually went down to get Daniel Cormier that hyped? Oh, just a little NCAA history being made, no big deal. Oklahoma State’s Wyatt Hendrickson pulled off the shock of the century, taking down none other than Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA champ Gable Steveson in a jaw-dropping 5-4 thriller at the NCAA heavyweight finals. And where did this madness unfold? None other than the Wells Fargo Center, under the brightest of lights.
Think about it—Steveson, the same guy who ran the show in Tokyo back in 2021, the heavyweight king, the unstoppable force. So yeah, DC had every reason to lose his mind. An Olympic champ falling in the NCAA finals? That’s the kind of once-in-a-lifetime moment that leaves even the legends speechless.
