Damn, DC was really a paperchamp.

He wasn't a paper champ, that's just guys talking shit. DC is 17-0 against guys not named Jon Jones. The fact that Jon beat him twice, finishing him the second time is nuts.

19-0* against guys not named Jones. Incredible record considering how late he entered MMA and physical limitations.

This.

If you were told you would start a second career, and in several years be considered one of the best ever at it, make several million, but this Young Turk/punk would be a thorn in your side, you would still sign up to do it. (And make money analyzing and commentating)
 
i don't know how you could see DC's face and how upset he was, and wanna shit on him.

like fuck off, yeah all these little jones fans just come out of nowhere now that he's on top again eh?

Beating Rumble twice is something Jones still never has done even once.

Beating rumble is something welterweight have done though... What's so special about beating a guy that has lost 6 times, one of those being to Koscheck????
 
Roger Federer won the French Open en 2009 because Rafael Nadal got eliminated early, and no one would call him a "paper champ". That's because of the type of fans tennis has. MMA, on the other hand, has some of the worst fans in the world. There are too many haters, idiots and couch potatoes who don't give fighters the respect they deserve.

Was Anderson a paper champ because he lost to weidman when the fight was available?
Was Aldo when he lost to Conor?
That's just the way it is....champions lose eventually....

Cormier was only able to become champion AFTER Jones got stripped for legal problems. He had also already lost to Jones by this time. Aldo and Silva had established title reigns long before Weidman or Conor ever even came into the UFC.

All good points. Great points.

But I can´t consider him a paper champ when the guy he had to beat was suspended/stripped/barred from fighting. Paper champ for me means an ilegitimate champ. He did everything he was supposed to do. He fought for the vacant title against the number one contender, and later rematched him. He also defended against Gus, who gave Jones the most problemas. Had Jon never came back, DC would probably have ruled the division for a long time, even if not as dominant as Jones. He was a legitimate champ. I mean, its like calling hendricks a paper champ because GSP was stripped. What was he supposed to do? Even if GSP came back and beat him again, Johnny was a legitimate champ.

The fact he lost to Koscheck didn't help anyone that Rumble destroyed at 205.
