Rewatching right now because i had forgot how this fight went besides it being competitive and just saw their recent twitter beef. DC definitely edged it but damn Gus took it to him, actually took DC down multiple times and landed a bunch of clean punches along with that vicious knee towards the end.

I know LHW is super shallow at the moment but that belt is Gus’ for the taking the second DC vacates. He easily beats Jones too if he somehow comes back IMO
 
I thought you were gonna say hamburgers. <DCrying>
 
Gus had such a height reach and age advantage that was really his fight to lose. Guy isn't the fighter people make him out to be he got destroyed by Rumble in under a round.
 
Yup, was one of the best 205 title fights ever

Don't you Know Gus is a can according to Sherdog?

Pretty sure literally everyone but Hendo had all those advantages over DC too but hes only lost to 1 man so thats kind of a dumb argument

Also Gus lasted longer against Rumble than Glover, Bader and Little Nog combined so again, stupid argument

Being beat by a KO from Rumble is a negative how? He has that kind of power. Lots of top fighters get caught with big shots. It's like saying Werdum is a shit fighter because Stipe KO'd him.

The Gus DC fight was damn close, could have gone either way. Gus fought a prime DC right to the wall and he did the same thing to Jones, literally the only fighter ever to give a guy that lets face it was juiced to the gills.

Gus's performances against DC and Jones make him a top 3 guy by default.

I'd bet on Gus to win against Rumble again if they fought.

And let's not forget, Rumble basically got owned by DC twice in very embarrassing fashion. At least Gus went out on his sword.
 
What are you talking about? He arguably beat both Jones and DC, who are supposedly LHW GOATS.

Rumble is an overrated but very good LHW that was on a tear. He beat Gustafsson fair and square, but that doesn’t mean Gus sucks.

How are you people this fucking stupid? I mean literally.
I just can't call a fighter who got destroyed by Crumble in under a round elite.

Gus should have done better against DC given the massive physical advantages he had. Look what Jones was able to do to Cormier.

Should have?

Jones was juiced to the gills. Maybe that's what made the difference?
 
If Gus just tied up Rumble for a round and made him grapple against the fence he’d probably get him to quite sometime in the second.

Rumble seems like he just gives up when he’s tired or he’s decided he’s going to lose the fight. So Gus wouldn’t even have to take him down. Just grind on him and make him work.

Gus beats him 6-7/10 times if he employs the correct strategy. The other times he gets caught with something stupid.
lol and I'm the troll. You're obviously delusional because Gus didn't just get caught. Rumble walked him down and destroyed him even after Gus poked him in the eye.

Supposedly???

There is nobody that could be considered LHW GOAT other than those 2. Anybody who suggests otherwise is a Pride nuthugger.
 
Said this a few times but I think Gus is destined to rule that division once DC is gone and Jones id donezo
