To avoid paper champ talk, there needs to be an 8 man tournament to crown new LHW champ

[Not A Real Fan]

As much as he may deserve it, giving the belt back to DC is a bad move. But if DC (or anybody else) wins an 8 man tournament, he would be seen as nothing but legit.

The LHW roster is a pathetic mess but here we go.

Cormier - 1
Corey Anderson - 8

Glover - 4
Manuwa - 5

Volkan - 3
Shogun -6

Gus - 2
OSP - 7

 

[7th]

Anyone calling DC a 'paper champ' at this stage should shove their head in a turd-filled toilet, and gulp til drowned.

 

[HaulParris]

No Misha or Cannonier?

 

[thoughtsone]

at this point DC is not a paper champ....Jones had 1 job, 1 job...and this is what happens.

If fight is overturned to a NC then it means DC never lost the title.
Think of the recent Tonya Evinger situation in Invicta.

I used the current LHW top 8 rankings

Anyone calling DC a paper champ now means they are beyond delusional.

 

[IamStryker]

DC is obviously the best at this point

Is that you, Bjorn ?

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

No - DC likely would be 2-0 against enhanced jon.

I gotcha.

Without the steroid advantage, Gus beat Jones.

Rumble beat Gus

And DC beat Rumble

So, it´s pretty clear DC is the one and only undisputed ufc lhw champ.

If anything, Jon did us a favour and removed any doubt there was left of who the real champ is.

War DC

DC in an honorable man. Fights the best competition. Fights to the best of his ability. Fights fair.

He is no paper champ.

Now imagine if Anderson wins lol

Agreed

 

[Not A Real Fan]

And there you have it.

Even if giving the belt back to Cormier was the correct thing to do, he still comes off as a paper champ.

 

[TripTictonic]

Jesus....is there really any point in watching DC fight Corey Anderson? The only two matchups I'm really even interested in for DC at LHW are a Gus rematch and possibly Volkan. He wrecks everyone else without much issue. Part of me wishes DC would try and make a run at HW.

Also, anyone who calls DC a paper champ is a moron.
