I know Jones is the goat an all, but considering DC is literally the same height as Khabib, a lightweight, at a whopping 5'9 and was fight at LHW and HW. VS jones at 6'3. I honestly find Cormier more impressive. Dude just didnt give a f about weight classes, he fought anyone regardless of natural size.

@@Dippa666 Its not all about height though. cormier is a natural heavyweight, that was used to fighting heavyweights. being shorter is also an advantage when it comes to defending takedowns, being more easily able to get lower to get underhooks etc. so theres advantages and disadvantages. what rly gave jon the advantage was his 84.5" reach, but as we've seen from other long fighters all of that is meaningless without the IQ to go along with it.

He did not have the wear and tear since he hadn't been in the UFC as long or fighting since his 20s, which would have been way way worse because those guys have injuries and wear and tear. Randy Coutre was similar. He had his first fight and 34 and had no wear and tear and was freash physically, which is how he was champion at 45. DC was in his prime. Had you watched him dismantle Barnett and Henderson? He was a complete beast, which is why they set the fight up. Age is not a good excuse for using in DC's specific situation.

Jon won both fights but lost the belt both times. So DC still became champion lol. Jon may have won in the octagon but DC had his victories as well. Jon lost his Nike and Gatorade sponsors after the fight they had at the state down at the MGM. Those sponsors were unheard of in MMA at the time. It’s the most bitter petty contentious and before both fights most competitive. No one knew Jon would win both fights. While Jon was getting arrested and having shameful court appearances DC was Mr. Happy commentating and on TV calling Jon “Son” telling him to get his shit together. Bringing up the steroids (even though they were both on them, everyone’s on steroids). The way Jon’s life went outside the cage and how well DC’s been doing, you would think Jon lost and DC won, but Jon DID beat him both times so it almost makes no sense. It’s almost as if DC put some kind of Voodoo on Jon. Until Jon won the HW belt. As long as Jon doesn’t get arrested anytime soon and beats Stipe (the guy who retired DC) then it’s over for DC. He has to shut up lol. The end. I love it. Wish we could see another fight just for this to continue.

We'll see. He never fights, and it's amazing how he comes back after years of no fights and wins the heavyweight belt, and even before that there was like over a year between his last few fights, just incredible. Eventually that might take a toll on him. He's not getting any younger either. He's just unbelievable, but it's tough. He needs to fight like soon. Even his last fight wasn't much practice. He just dominated. Jon is a freak though, best ever by so much.
