Is DC the P4P best if he beats Jones!?

Interested to get the wider opinion on this one.

I personally had the P4P rankings like this in my head just a few months ago:

Rankings a while back:


1.) Jones
2.) Werdum
3.) Cormier
4.) Johnson
5.) Cruz

But, since Johnson's demolishing of Cejudo, Werdum's idiotic loss to Miocic, Rockhold's sham of a performance against Bisping and Cruz's domination over Faber I've rejigged my rankings a little.

My current rankings:

1.) Jones
2.) Cormier
3.) Cruz
4.) Johnson
5.) Lawler

I personally think there is little to no argument that Cruz or Johnson have had a tougher schedule than Cormier. There is also the small asterisk in a lack of activity for Cruz over the last few years, which has him slightly below DC in my humble opinion.

With a victory, does Cormier rise above Jones to become the number one fighter on planet earth?

My vote is, yes!

Sure...But only until Conor destroys Nate in the rematch, then it's obviously Conor.
 
No, because Jones isn't p4p 1. Mighty Mouse all day long.
 
Cruz has 5 defenses.

He has has the 2 fights in which he won the title.

That's 7 title fight victories, one of which was a dominant victory over DJ.

Cruz is also beating the better competition.

1 defense against Faber so far.

You're speaking hypothetically. I'm talking reality.
 
MM is amazing but Cruz is better. Also, Cormier kills them both with 1 hand. Fuck P4P.
 
Could this picture be much bigger? Lol.

How does DJ stand above Cruz though, I don't understand that?
It's been 5 years since they fought. MM has improved leaps and bounds since then and accomplished more than Cruz did or has. It's not crazy.

You're hilarious.

You think he's achieved more than Cruz?

Cruz came back and beat Dillashaw after almost 3 years of inactivity, blown ACLs and a torn quad.

He also embarassed Faber who is more credible than almost all of DJ's wins.
 
It puts him way more in the picture, for sure. The guy has had a crazy impressive career. If it weren't for jones, Cormier would still be undefeated and this wouldn't even be a question.
 
Nothing.

Factual Information: Cruz has 1 title defense. You remember he had the belt taken away right?

So by your logic, Jon Jones needs one more title defense to tie Anderson?
So past title defenses mean nothing right? They just get wiped off the board?
 
I hate P4P it means nothing, it was invented as a way for small boxers to feel relevant, a very long time ago, and now MMA adopts those dumb phrases.
