All you have to remember is it doesn’t matter who is moving forward, that doesn’t score whatsoever

Gust's lack of power vs DC's power was the difference in round 4. Gust's hair flopping around every DC clubbed him may have made the strikes look more impactful than they were, or they illuminated just how powerful they were.
very close round, not a robbery by any stretch of the imagination.

There’s no point in talking about total strikes through 5 rounds when it’s scored round by round. And dc landing 1 more significant strike in round 2 doesn’t automatically give him the round when he got cut open, taken down and in my opinion hurt more by gus’ strikes

I don’t know if I would even call this fight a robbery but even if it wasn’t THAT clear to gus, I still believe he won
And I disagree about the power difference, DC landed maybe 2 or 3 punches that visibly effected gus in that 4th round, while gus was visibly affecting dc with his kicks and knees to the body, snapped dc’s head back on more than one occasion with jabs and landed some very good 1-2’s including one early in the round that wobbled dc slightly

DC strikes were far more effective. Even visually. Gus landed a punch on DC and it just looked like a normal punch. When DC landed a punch on Gus he always reacted. Had his head flopping all types of directions and had Gus disengage and literally turn his back and run away to reset. I remember seeing that Gus ran like 5 miles in that fight based off his movement.
And honestly you can't compare that hooks and uppercuts DC landed in the clinch while holding Gus's head down to the jabs Gus landed at distance.

cormier isn't as great as he thinks he is, Jon Jones wooped his ass twice, Gustafsson beat him and AJ threw their second fight

When did gus’ knees give out from those clinch punches or when did he drop? They are good strikes but giving them more weight than they have is ridiculous
Gus was moving backwards the entire fight, if he was moving backwards cause he was hurt then he has the greatest poker face in mma while simultaneously having the worst recovery ever, he was avoiding dc trying to clinch him, again moving backward does not lose you the round when the rounds are scored on effective striking, the impact and significance of the strikes landed, gus landed a bunch of very good strikes in the 4th. If dc had long straight hair it would move too, are you scoring hair length in the fight?

48-47 Cormier
Round 2 was the hardest to score..flip flopped a few times before giving to Cormier...
Daniel out worked and out landed Alex for more rounds... Those uppercuts were money..
Rounds 3 and 4 were Gus's ..
...great fight...

Atleast you watched it which I appreciate, but obviously I disagree as I think the cut and the takedown won gus a close striking round

Honestly this really does sum it up nicely. Gus was a handfull for anyone at 205. He would have been a champ in any other era.

Gus lost both fights …
He’s known for losing close fights but he did lose them

Same with Reyes and Santos. It’s like a curse.

If I could have improved Gus in some way, it would have been to turn his hip over into a good Thai kick.
I LOVED watching him.
His pace and boxing style still is very unique. Unfortunately, he was also around with the three powerhouses (including Rumble).
Being razor close on two occasions, I can only assume it was deflation beyond imagining.

It was extremely close, the closest round was round 2 where gus cut dc open and took him down. The sherdog judges gave DC the round where he got knocked down and nearly finished, they’re not to be trusted. Then in the 4th gus outstruck him clearlyUFC 192 Results: ‘Cormier vs. Gustafsson’ Play-by-Play & Updates

The best one had it a Draw for Gus and all the others for DC.
Gus Jones I was closer than DC Gus.
It was a great fight but to say Gus won is a huge stretch. It would've been an absolute robbery if he had gotten the nod.
At most, being very lenient, he won 2 rounds.

From what I remember, DC had full control of the clinch and was blasting Gus with uppercut and won over 4 minutes of the round, and after Gus dropped him with the knee, DC was almost immediately on the single and working his way back up. But it was a while ago since I saw it, so I can't be too certain, but I am fairly certain Gus never had the opportunity to take advantage of it by staying on top and raining down strikes or anything to threaten a fight end
