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 final, Daniel 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 gives his final stance!

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, Daniel Cormier 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 legends speechless. But guess what? This wasn’t the only moment in the NCAA Finals that was historic!

The 2025 NCAA final witnesses a historic moment!

The NCAA Finals couldn’t have been more legendary, and Carter Starocci stamped his name in the history books like never before! The 184-pound superstar wrapped up his Penn State journey in style, securing his fifth—yes, FIFTH—individual national title. In a showdown that had fans at the edge of their seats, he straightened out Northern Iowa’s Parker Keckeisen 4-3, locking in a record that no other Division I wrestler has ever touched. Last year, he joined the elite four-time champ club, but this year? He kicked the door down and claimed his spot as the one and only five-time champ.

In Thursday’s opener, he hit the century mark with his 100th career win, and by the end of the day, he had outpaced Penn State legend Ed Ruth, becoming the Nittany Lions’ all-time winning NCAA Tournament wrestler. Oh, and let’s not forget—he’s walking away with a flawless 25-0 record at nationals. But for Starocci, it wasn’t just about collecting silverware. As he put it, he thrives on owning the mat, and after last year’s injury setback, he came back with one goal—closing out his college career the way he intended to. Healthy, locked in, and untouchable.

And if that wasn’t enough, Penn State wasn’t just celebrating Starocci’s historic feat—they were out here making history as a team! The Nittany Lions officially secured their national title earlier that day, but Starocci’s win put the cherry on top, pushing them past the all-time NCAA Tournament points record. They blew past last year’s 172.5-point mark like it was light work. Dominance, legacy, and an unstoppable blue-and-white dynasty—Penn State just made sure this NCAA Finals will be talked about for years to come!
