The question is what does DC need to do to beat Jones in the rematch?
Wrestling Jones didn´t work in the 1st fight. DC got 1 or 2 takedowns but that wasn´t enough, and he spent a lot of energy and Jones bounced back up like in the gif here. So for the second fight, taking Jon down shouldn´t be his strategy.
imo DC´s clinch and dirty boxing are his best weapons to beat Jones. "Forget" about takedowns.
With a reach disadvantage getting inside range is a problem, so DC is obviously gonna eat some shots (he´s fighting the best in the world), but he is pretty good at closing the distance, and connects powerful strikes when he´s in there, but specially on the clinch... so that´s where he should focus: on the clinch.
Check out a few gifs from the Jones, Gus and Rumble fights.
Vs Jones
Vs Gustafsson
Vs Rumble (avoiding shots and getting the clinch)
Thoughts?
