Cormier Was Dominating Jon Jones Before the Headkick

[martijn]

Cormier was soundly up 2.5 rounds against the apparent "GOAT" before he got nailed by a lucky head kick

Jon Jones is no Cro Cop. That was not his signature move. He swung for the fences and got lucky something landed, Cormier wins that fight 9/10.

Actually he lost 2/2

 

[Crutchley29]

Not to take away from Jones's win and finish that he executed masterfully but that's what happened. DC was landing the better shots and had jones on the defensive just trying to push dc back with relatively weak kicks, the tables of a fight can turn with a single unexpected strike.

DC is in his prime, his performance showed if he gets a rematch he has the potential to beat jones not that i would bet on it though.

It was 1-1 and Cormier went into Rd.3 notably slower and breathing heavy. Jones had worked the body up to that point and it had started to take effect.

Those 'weak shots' are battering rams to you and I and also included several clean knees to DC's mid-section, they were enough for DC to drop his left guard and go head hunting.

You are by your obvious bias trying to diminish Jones's win by over-stating DC's performance and understating the fact that Jones finishes people with those so-called 'weak' shots.

Cormier was cracking him for sure. I had it 2-0 DC but it was so close it coulda been 2-0 JBJ. Fair play to Jon, he pulled that outta his ass for sure. Now, I hope he fights an in prime like sized man, DC was fading for years and has the dimensions of a featherweight. Fook Brock, let's do JBJ vs Overeem, Stipe, Werdum, Ngannou, real fighters, etc..

But he has already lost 2/2 so......

 

[Soul On Ice]

LoL at "lucky"

Jones was setting the kick up the whole fight by going low over and over while gauging DC's response
Jones walked him right into the kick

Fading for years? DC was stating he was in his prime through the pre-fight and had blitzed through every recent fighter he's faced. Stop making excuses. It was 1-1 into the 3rd.

 

[Area809]

It was a competitive fight and I doubt Cormier was going to let himself fade like the first time. But it was no domination--on either side.

How Drunk were you ?

Jim Lahey level.

 

[Leroy Brizzzown]

Haha dominating... Like 10 8s??? Dominating is being face down a$$ up! If you think cormier was dominating towards a finish.. You are truly a great cormier fan cormier did the harlem shake and was not going to recover.. Jones was in no fear of losing so lets please stop this non sense

 

[WhatSay]

DC was fading for years

Lmao, guy never loses a fight except to the goat and now he's been fading for years. You can't make this shit up.

 

[DOMMA]

I have been critical of Jones but have to give him credit. He was much better than I suspected after the time away and without PEDS. There is no intelligent argument against against Jones being the GOAT at 205.

 

[BA0701]

Not a trump supporter, but I like Donald's face because it triggers people like you.

Have to admit though, his comment was the funniest thing posted in this thread. Given that the entire Democratic party continues to this day, to cry over that loss, and the other 1400 they have suffered since their "hope" candidate won. Funniest train wreck, in the history of train wrecks.

Hmmm, so fight metric, the media and sherdog were wrong about the first two rounds? You sir are a genius...

Let the good times and highlights roll!!! That man lost in the most defining way possible. In what world.. Do ppl think participation awards and valiant efforts win? Ko to finally move both fighters forward
