If it was not for Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier would be undefeated. He would be regarded as p4p the best. He could have been black Fedor, with a decade long reign.

But because Jon Jones exist, and Jon Jones beat his ass both times, he will always be regarded as a paper champion and the guy who could never beat Jon Jones.
 
Was it a mistake to drop down to light-heavyweight. Should he have stayed at heavyweight?
 
Considering Cormier is 10 years older than Jones (who was juicing), those two losses come with huge asterisks.

No one that pops for PEDs can be in any GOAT list, that makes DC LHW GOAT.

considering how late he started his career and the fact he's a 2 time world champ and is rich as fuck..... Id say he's had a pretty good career
 
His kids will regard him as the incredibly successful father who put a beautiful roof over their heads cause the guy is one of the top earners in the UFC.

I think he'll be okay.
 
If it wasn't for Cain, DC could already have been champion in two divisions if he moved up after Jon was framed the first time.
 
Cormier's career has been stellar besides those two flukes against a cheater. Nothing is being taken away from him.

Jon Jones used steroids, Cormier is a clean fighter. It just shows when you have two fighters so close in skill, using steroids pushes you over the top.

right? I mean sure he couldve beaten Jones and had an even better career...... but to even think DC has had an "unfortunate" career is laughable lol

Mayhem Miller..... now thats an unfortunate career lol

Personally I think not, if he'd stayed at HW I suspect his lack of size/mobility would have been exploited by someone. He was undefeated but there were periods vs Mir(on the decline) and Barnett(someone dropping off and broken hand) were he did not look comfortable.

Unlucky perhaps that Jones successfully ducked fighting Rumble or rematching Gus so he could potentially setup a bit of a paper/scissors/stone like situation, beating someone who beat Jones.
 

since I mentioned Mayhem, this video was actually the first time I ever saw Daniel Cormier, if he can go from the guy playing slaps in the hall with Mayhem.... to where he is now, he's done pretty fucking well lol

It's 2018, and you're making a racial comparison. Are you trying to get fired from your job? Do you have a job? The liberals will take you to the stake.

Mutiple world titles and challenging for another how unfortunate.

Haha so true. I was just thinking about Mayhem. He was ahead of the curve with the crazy WWE shit lol.
 
What an insane thread. DC is a former SF tourney champion, multiple time UFC champion, successful announcer career & you dismiss it as unfortunate? GTFO.

Jones being a cheating prick is the only unfortunate part of DC's career.
