It doesn't seem as if DC plans to defend the LHW belt...

[D'z]

....With him calling out Lesnar and all. So what do you guys think the future of 205 will look like?

Gus

 

[Melas Chasma]

Doesn't matter. Gus is the real champ anyway, because he won 2, 3 and 4 vs DC. Gus is the only fighter ever to give DC a run for his money. Not counting cheaters ofc.

 

[Gilday]

Probably with Gus getting KO'ed by Volkan, sitting out for a year, beating up some old man and then calling out the champ for ducking him

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Even before tonight it didn't have much of an immediate future. Who in the top five hasn't DC beaten yet? Shogun?

Love Shogun, but DC would probably turn him into a vegetable.

 

[aokimasaru]

DC should retire after he defeats Brock. LHW and HW is a mess and it's a waste of brain cells for DC fighting guys that don't have market value.

 

[Squintz]

Whatever comes after shit cause that’s what it was before.

And yeah... ain’t no way DC dropping back down to 205 ever again.

 

[Soul On Ice]

I knew he was done at 205 when he weighed in
It took a couple of HW fights in the UFC for him to get down to the low 230's so he could cut to 205

Gus X Oz @ 227 might get promoted to a vacant title fight

you on drugs???

Gus did ok vs DC but he didnt win those rounds.

I actually think Gus beat jones though

 

[Otto!]

I think that he’s more suited for HW at this point. Weight cutting does not get easier with age, no matter how much you’re good at it. Defend the HW belt for a huge payday then retire.

 

[JayE]

Cormier is never getting back down to 205 at this point in his career. I'm guessing it's the Lesnar payday and then retirement for Cormier. Maybe Jones 3 at HW.

Lol at "ok" when the fight was a split dec. Guess that just shows how great Gus is if even an ok fight from him is enough to give DC more problems than any other (clean) opponent ever.

 

[FaTaL FaTaL]

205 needs to reset, until another challenger comes along theres no point in cormier defending that belt anytime soon

Gus got a title shot after being KO’d in the first round by rumble.

Had he won the fight he would have been slept by Rumble again. And DC would have beat Rumble again (as he did) so no body is buying that shit.

 

[jjthenextchamp1]

He...along with everybody else..has already stated, he wanted to be double champ...then finally get maximum ppv dollars and his biggest payday with Brock..and then go off into the sunset with Jon's life

 

[Diunx]

Gus vs Volkan for the vacated belt and as tradition Gus will lose a close fight, bet the house on Volkan.

 

[johncola]

Gus/Volkan at UFC 227 should be for the interim title

 

[JT RIPPER]

He really should, just to separate himself from anyone else who’s held two belts simultaneously

 

[Melas Chasma]

Its true, though. Gus is the only fighter ever to give DC a hard fight by a huge margin, when you dont count cheater Jones.
