Before we get started, ESPN and partnership with Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions presents Kyle Brandt's basement,

led by NFL Network's Good Morning Football host Kyle Brandt.

Every Sunday through Thursday, the show explores the ins and outs of the NFL through lively guest interviews,

including Bill's QB Josh Allen every Tuesday, and also inventive segments unique to Brandt to bring fans closer to the action on and off the field.

That's Kyle Brandt's basement. Listen where you are listening to this podcast.

I guess, first question's gotta be about the heavyweight fight. So I guess I'll jump right into that. This is for the official heavyweight title.

John Jones was literally ready to fight anybody. He didn't care who it was. And we could have done a fight with John back in, you know, October, November, December.

Cyril Gone is a heavyweight that moves like a, you know, like a middleweight. He's got a really well-rounded game. And, you know, John Jones is the best ever to do it in my opinion.

So you couldn't ask for a better fight.

I'm really fun of every sports in the MMA. And when you look a guy like John Jones with a well-wonder like this, you really appreciate it. So that's why he's a goat.

He's a goat. Look, look, look, it's career. So yes, today, I'm a young fighter. And I think it's the dream of every young fighter fight against a goat.

This is really crazy for me, really.

What's up guys? Welcome to a brand new episode of DC and RC. I'm Daniel Cormier. That is the surprise Ryan Clark over there.

The big news was dropped last week in Ryan Clark. John Jones is back. He's taken on Cyril Gone. We also previewed USC 283 today.

And we tap into tap pop and Ryan before we can do anything. We got to talk about Dana White and the announcement last weekend that John Jones is back fighting for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.

RC, listen to this. Dana wasn't the first person to announce that fight. The team won't believe the accidently put the picture up while the UFC was going on last weekend.

They undercut Dana White. So when Dana got to the broad to the post-France press conference, he said, well, I guess you want to know about the fight.

He goes on to announce that fight. How excited are you that Jones is back and he's fighting Cyril Gone? First off, I'm not absolutely convinced Dana didn't allow that leak at the team mobile arena.

I mean, that's very good promotion. But I'm excited about it. Honestly, you're excited that John Jones is finally getting back into the octagon.

And when you think about a stylistic matchup against someone like Cyril Gone, you think about the way that he can move around the ring, kind of the general ship of move around the octagon, his general ship of understanding cutting off space and also using his length.

It's almost the perfect fight for John Jones when he starts his heavyweight tenure. I'm excited to see how he carries the weight, but also how he handles the pressure of a heavyweight, how he handles the weight up against the cage.

So this is extremely exciting. And whenever John Jones came back to fighting, we were going to be happy, right? We were going to be excited to see him again. You heard, go, go, go, being used when talked about, we're talking about John Jones.
