Keeping Jon Jones' belt warm - Official UFC 192: Cormier vs Gustafsson Thread [Oct 3]

[FaTaL]

Gus put up a good fight but he also showed why he isn't the the LHW champion right now. I thought cromier would fade but turns out in the last 2 rounds it was gus, the same way he did against jones.

Now sadly we have to see jones/cromier II... Jones dominated him, had him crying in the post fight presser and I hope after jones beats him again he moves up to HW because he cleaned out the division. I believe it was the at the end of the 4th round when jones slammed cromier and put his hand on his head like a little kid, jones embarrassed him but he has done that to everyone he's faced.

Why do people keep thinking jones is moving up? There are no fights for him up there. I mean he has Cormier and gus as rematches. Weidman wants a piece of him and you rumble as well

The hw div is a hot mess

Here it is brehs. Got that post UFC 192 talk on the podcast and why Jon Jones might be the GOAT if he wins a few more fights. Sugar Shane Mosley comes on as well.

I just came in here to say if you don't think Jon Jones is the GOAT UFC fighter


His resume speaks for itself and is > anyone else's in UFC history

Jones actions cost him that belt. DC is the undisputed LHW champion like it or not.

I think Gus has an excellent chance of winning. His movement and boxing could give DC trouble and test his gas tank.

I'd love for T-Wood to get the W but I think he'll gas out and Hendricks will win by GnP

Tough fight for Pena against Eye, she's no pushover but if Julianna wins it'll definitely move her up the ranks

Bader vs Rashad has written all over it. Suga hasn't fought in what seems like an eternity.

He is the officially recognized champion, NOT the undisputed champion.
The word undisputed was created for a reason.

Clearly, there is a dispute. As a large percentage of the mma community believes Jon Jones to be the champion.
DC is just the guy the company calls the champion.
Some fans will go along with that, but many do not. But the fans that believe DC is champ now cause Jon Jones' championship to be disputed as well.

So until the appointed champion (DC) beats the defending champion (Jon Jones) or vice versa, neither is undisputed.

Cormier clearly won, the real argument is whether he won 3 or 4 rounds

Gus really runs too much

I thought DC won the first round 10-8

Gus did nothing that round.
Then, Gus spent the remainder of the fight running like a punk.

It disrespects the belt to consider giving it to someone that will turn his back to his opponent and literally run away, scampering to escape.

I'm done arguing about this. If Jones is the best he should have absolutely no problem getting it back once he's reinstated. DC could just skip the training camp, media appearances and all the other shyt, and just get down on both knees and hand it to him to avoid fighting.

Had dc winning rds. 1 and 5 clearly. ...had Gus winning 2 and 3 clearly. ..The 4th rd. Is the murky round...great fight but not foty.

I don't believe in ring rust but I think Evans is slightly past his prime.his overhand right looked slow...but he still looked pretty good. He pressed Bader and suga's chin was good. Let's give props to bader...he's good
