Is Daniel Cormier a legendary Fighter?

[Melas Chasma]

He beat Gus better than jones?
Gus dropped D.C. He didn't drop jones.
Jones hurt D.C. more.
Jones won more rounds.
Jones won by unanimous decision, D.C. Won by split.

What rubric were you using?

Well, he did win round 1 against Gus more clearly than Jones won any round against Gus, and arguably the 5th as well. But thats where it ends.

Jones destroyed Gus in the fifth round and the round Gus won was close.

 

[Melas Chasma]

Jones destroyed Gus in the fifth round and the round Gus won was close.

Not even close. Gus did more damage in the fifth against Jones than in any other round. People remember that round wrong because of those 6 head kicks Jones threw which were ALL partially or fully blocked. Gus landed his best left hooks and uppercuts in the fifth.

Jones won the fifth only because of the TD.

What doesn "legendary fighter" even mean though?

Is it something like being the legendary super saiyan? or are you just asking if he's a legend?

 

[CereserBr]

Not really, but hes one hell of a fighter!

 

[TCanaveira]

Yes and if he beats Rumble again and then Jones then he could even be considered GOAT.

 

[Redhawks100]

Absolutely. Easily one of the best LHWs of all time.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Not trying to be a stickler but "ko'ing Bigfoot" carries as much weight as Cormier beating Stephen Hawking in the 40 yard dash.

At the time it actually meant something.

Bigfoot just got done with disposing of the GOAT HW and had a serious chin.

 

[vanderlasers]

He's definitely elite, one of the best p4p nowadays, but I don't think he's in Legend status just yet. If he beats Rumble and Jones in convincing fashion, then we can talk about it.

 

[Bloodworth]

I'm leaning towards no

 

[Valhoven]

... and i expect him to beat Rumble again, and will beat Jon Jones if Jones returns to fight. Jones had ring rust in the OSP fight and will again, DC will take full advantage.

 

[Valhoven]

All this DC love...

Thus, a thread where things are right in the Dawgiverse. Yes, one of the greats - no question, boiz.

 

[Inverse]

If you look at his resume its pretty fucking insane.

He's choked out Prime Rumble, Beat Gustaffson more convincingly than Jones, Dominated Hendo (who nearly beheaded Bisping several times), Beat Roy Nelson, KO'd bigfoot, Outwrestled and dominated Barnett, and even beat Frank Mir. His only loss is to one of the all time GOATS

I don't count the silva win because not only was it short notice, its old anderson.

Get a plat account.

 

[SNEAKthief]

Fuck yeah! I wish DC was my dad! He could teach me about "hard work and dedication"

 

[Franklin U.]

At the time he started and what he accomplished in SFORCE ,alone, got him 75 % there..

 

[Easy The Great]

No doubt Cormier is a legend in the sport. He has quality wins over big named opposition and dominated most of them.

 

[csroster]

DC is an elite fighter with a great resume, but hasn't done enough to be legendary yet.

 

[10k]

The moment he retires he will get his praise. But it's just peoples distaste for him that will sway opinion on him.. even though it's undeniable he's becoming a legend

but lol at not counting anderson lol

 

[Woliwo]

If he makes Rumble quit again maybe.
