Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier recently revealed his new ESPN MMA show. Ever since the long-running ‘DC and Helwani’ show ended after Ariel Helwani parted ways with ESPN, fans had been speculating whether ‘DC’ would continue on with the show.
Now, Cormier has finally revealed that he will do a new MMA show on ESPN with former NFL star Ryan Clark. ‘DC’ took to Instagram to share this news. He wrote, “Hey guys, I’ve been asked about what I was gonna do once my show with Ariel ended and I am happy to announce I’ll be doing a show with @realrclark.”
“Ryan is an NFL Super Bowl Champ with the Pittsburgh Steelers and a massive MMA fan! I’m so excited about this opportunity and to be able to discuss not only MMA with him but sports in general. Hope you guys show love and support Ryan and I as you always have. Thank you to everyone at @espn for making this happen. It’s gonna be fun! Our first show will be live from Las Vegas this Thursday, July 8.”
