I wonder if DC knee was still bothering him. For the majority of the fight he stood right at Jones range. Still think he should have had that surgery and then fight

Cormier's plan was to get inside Jones' reach and fight. Which he did for the first 3 rounds before he got gassed and stopped moving. While I think that Jones' initial takedown might have aggravated the injury a bit, I attributed Cormier's lack of movement more to a lack of fitness than to his injury.

meh he was willing to fight back in august before jones got injured, the extra time could have only helped it. but it could be that too he didn't look explosive at all

it was probably the cardio imho. He's getting up there in age, coming from HW (land of the bad cardio) and has a difficult weight cut on top of that. Jon's activity level, grit in the clinch and the bodyshots he was working sapped all of cormier's energy.
