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.
 
It was fairly even.m both won 1 round a piece imo.. then dc got ktfo.
 
it was 1-1 at worst. likely 2-0 JJ, and on his way to 3-0. Stfu and go jack off to Conor

You don't know what you were watching. Jones was dominating. Yes DC landed from time to time. Jones was controlling every other aspect and was battering DCs legs
 
Posting in a troll thread. Sherdog gonna sherdog. Or maybe this dude's stream was 140p definition.

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.
 
Yeah, he may have eaten like a thousand punches and kicks, and had no offense whatsoever, but he sure did octagon control the fuck outta Jones. Walked towards that motherfucker all night. If he didn't get his head kicked in, he probably would've walked Jones into a coma.
 
Many people on Sherdog had Cormier 2-0 but I thought it was 1-1. Extremely close like the first rounds of the first fight. Jones would have taken over in the 2nd half of the fight though. Glad he got the finish to make sure we would all avoid a controversial decision.
