About this episode

Daniel Cormier gives you his INSTANT REACTION live from the octagon to UFC 316 in Newark, New Jersey after an incredible night of fights. Merab Dvalishvili capped the night with a submission victory over "Suga" Sean O'Malley in the main event. DC says Dvalishvili beat the best version of O'Malley, who looked significantly better than in their first fight at The Sphere. Kayla Harrison submitted Julianna Peña in the co-main event to become a UFC champion, and immediately following her win she called out women's UFC GOAT Amanda Nunes and the two faced off in the octagon! Cormier breaks down the Nunes vs. Harrison fight and why that is one of THE BIGGEST WOMEN'S FIGHTS in the history of the UFC. DC also talks Kevin Holland's impressive victory, Patchy Mix's disappointing debut, and his fighter of the night award. #Volume #Herd
