DC is a paper champ

[Martial Fartist]

well Jones is the real champ but DC is legit. No shame in losing to Jones in their fight. I have no doubt that DC is the only man that has any shot of beating jones at 205

 

[jenlan]

At least DC was able to finish AJ. Jones hasn't finished a top 10 LHW since 2011 so I don't know why you're talking about him being boring.

 

[Scamrock]

Nah it's healthy to vent man.

Everyone here knows DC is the definition of paper champ in a sport that is lacking legitimacy more and more.

But what does this have to do with legitimacy? What should they have done? Let Jones keep the title? Stripping and suspending him was the right thing to do, IMO. Should they have not let Cormier fight for the title? So let's say they do Rumble/Bader instead. Cormier probably gets the winner of that. He probably wins. He still ends up with the strap.

They can't keep the title on Jones. Whoever has the title didn't have to beat Jones to get it. It's not about legitimacy. Jones caused this, not anybody else.

 

[Simian Raticus]

Call it what you will.

DC isn't out sabotaging his career by partying and playing smash 'em derby with pregnant women.

Therefore he gets to wear the belt, and Jones does not.

& JJ is rolling joint papers.

[Winston Wolf]

How about Cormier atleast get one win after a loss before he fights for the title.

Yes he won tonight but this makes the sport look bush league.

And makes Cormier look like a paper champ.

 

[muaythaibeast]

Jones finished fights,

He isnt famous for wall/stall, LnP bullshit

Dude earned the belt, fought for it

DC is paper champ

Jones finished fights isn't really true any more,especially considering Aldo is considered as a none finisher. Whos the last legit LHW contender Jones finished? Rampage/Machida?
DC is no more a paper champ than Barao/Hendricks were. They didn't beat the champ

 

[opponent]

Amen!

You know it.

Is this you having a temper tantrum?

 

[Etherized]

so much salt

 

[SingerAuto]

Its not Cormier's fault per se, but anyone who has followed MMA for literally more than an hour knows that Jon Jones beat DC in a one-sided decision and is the true LHW champion.

DC didn't cause Jones' issues, he just took the opportunity that fell into his lap.
But Jones beat DC convincingly, he broke his will.

Hes a paper champ, but so were Barao and Hendricks, and to an extent Werdum. They didn't beat the champ either. Sometimes this is how it goes,if the champ isn't in a position to fight then he isn't the best fighter available.
If DC goes on a good streak Jones will be forgotten about, just like Dom Cruz was

 

[opponent]

Is this you having a temper tantrum?

Nah venting.

It's sad to see a once great division reduce to a champ that commits dumb crimes and now a loud mouth who is a paper champ.

 

[Scamrock]

Yeah but they should have had a tournament or create another contender.

The belt was defended just months ago.

And the winner tonight lost that fight.

Just months ago...

And one none in between.

Paper champ.

Why do they need a tournament? The top guys fought for the title. The winner will have to face the next guys in line. Not a traditional tournament, but it's not like it was a 2 man grand prix.

Whoever he fights next would likely have been in your tournament. So having this fight, then a title defense would serve the same purpose. Only real difference is that somebody is the champ now instead of waiting for that fight.

 

[pinkybrief]

lol rockhard is as big as rumble and he's 185

They didn't strip Cain, Hendricks arguably beat GSP but yeah he was borderline paper and Barao atleast isn't a loud mouth like DC, thinking he's the best of all time.

 

[BVG]

Nah venting.

Venting is you trying to give a grown up term to temper tantrum...

Blame Jones for being a complete fucking idiot then. At least both Rumble and DC have the maturity to NOT hit pregnant woman with cars...
