I’m not just an MMA guy.

I usually win my bracket contest too. So here’s my Final Four.

Daniel Cormier’s 2026 Final Four Prediction

First, I’m going Duke because they’ve got the Boozer twins – you know those boys are doing their thing.

Then I’ve got Gonzaga, Florida, and Alabama.

Yeah, two SEC teams in the Final Four, because guess what? I’m from the South and I’m repping.

And Hard Rock Bet is in Florida – so if I’m doing this for Hard Rock Bet, why wouldn’t I pick their home state team?

So there you go: Duke, Gonzaga, Florida, Alabama to make the Final Four.

Take that ticket, go cash it, tell them DC sent you. You don’t even have to think – just say I sent you. And give me a little credit when it hits.

DC’s Final Four:

  • Duke
  • Gonzaga
  • Florida
  • Alabama
