Er, but Jones has more than those two wins to compare with Cormier, right? He's got seven or eight title defenses. He cleaned out LHW. Add in to a better resume at LHW the fact that Jones bested DC twice head to head. I thin a much more accurate way of comparing the two outside of the PED issue is to say Jones is clearly the much better LHW but Cormier has the HW strap as well.i don't even care about the PEDs. but the fact that Cormier is beating all of the division's contenders AND goes up to HW and KO's the greatest UFC HW champion ever, is a lot better than 2 wins.
And if we are only considering the fights themselves and not the extra-curricular stuff, it's worth remembering Cormier never would have been LHW champ without Jones' non-fight problems.
I'm not trying to take away from Cormier at all. I think he's an impressively good fighter. But outside of the PED issue, I don't think there's a compelling argument that he's better than Jones.
