And after examining the fight I can tell that had a lot to do with the hight and length difference of Jon Jones. He was strong, but too short to get "leverage" on Jon Jones.
This is why Jon Jones appeared to be a better wrestler, which I think he's still not, but the fact that Jon Jones was so tall he was able to get leverage and ragdoll DC like he was a maple leaf.
Did you notice that when they were in the clinch that DC's face was pushed into Jon Jones shoulder a LOT? And he had the hardest time keeping his head above Jon Jones shoulder, it looked incredibly awkward. It's just like DC said, he was more impressed by his size than anything in the cage.
This goes to show that size really does matter when it comes to fighting in a cage, for the most part.
