I think we've seen the best of Gus in that Jones fight and he's probably never going to climb to the next level again.

I think Bones claimed he was hurt and/or had a shitty camp leading up to that fight and it's looking more and more like he was telling the truth. I bet he'd bury Gus in a rematch.



Too late. Not only can he beat everyone in the division, he also beat the DUI rap.
To add, leading up to the Gustaffson fight he kept going on about how he was a better boxer than Gustaffson, would beat him at his own strength, wasn't taking the fight that seriously, etc. If they ever rematch I expect Jones to focus on getting the takedowns, as well as fighting in the clinch against the fence, just like he did against Cormier.

I heard about this ad but didn't see it.

I have to say... I think it's pretty ridiculous.

Edit: ridiculous as in shit.

what rubbed me the wrong way is that DC said he could fight the best strikers. ugh. gus should retire with that performance. he could have won it but let DC take control like most others do. as much as ive hated jones before i want him to come back and smash DC as i know he will

I think he'd do a souped of version of what Cormier did tonight. Grind the fuck out of him and unleash hellbows on Gus' face.
 
Dunno if you heard about the verdict already .... 18 months probation and 72 charity / youth appearances .... sorry to wreck your boat.

We sure know DC heard. Last time it was all "Jon Jones get your shit straight I'm waiting for you boy" to the new silent treatment. He's even telling us about how it's his job to sell fights all along aka don't make me look too bad when you come back jones, let me go out with some dignity.

Pfft, DC only got down Gus ONCE.

Bones gonna throw DC around like he's his little brother.
DC had several opportunities to take him down late, especially in the 5th, but never went for it. I think he figures this is how he'll have to fight Jones.
 
Gus is a decent fighter. But ultimately nothing special. Please get your shit together Jones and smack Cormier around again.
 
Did not Dana decide to strip Jones of his belt? Anyways. back to a lot of boring Jones wins I suppose soon.

A lot of his fights aren't boring at all. Not sure who you've been watching fight.

Why don't you just admit you want your favorite fighter DC to stay champion by not having to fight the rightful holder and superior fighter.

Except when Brady cheats the Seahawks don't go around pretending to be champions. Because that would be lame as fuck. Like Daniel Cormier.
DC isn't acting like he's the greatest though. He knows he needs to beat Jones and has been active in calling him out every chance he gets, even agreeing that he should get an immediate title shot.
