I wanted DC to win but realistically, his reach and gas tank would be the biggest concerns and they were. All this talk about Jones fighting HWs..I think Jones will never go up to that division, just cuz he's in a comfortable spot and knows how to play the cards. Instead, he would rather have fighters move down or move up, and since he's beaten all of them, there's only one man that can hang with him.
The Weidman. A fighter who adapts and engages well with his opponents, not scared to take big shots, and not scared to lose. He's different from DC. Yeah, DC is a beast but only for a few rounds. Chris, however, has the gas tank, the stand up, the game plan, the mindset, the wrestling, the adaptability, the hunger to prove he is a complete fighter and one of the GOATs. Not to mention, he is one humble guy.
It would be a fight and get my heart racing. It'll make me really nervous just because anything could happen. Since Jones has no one hit KO power to put Chris, I'm not worried about that. His wrestling? Chris gets taken down? Then he'll get back up and continue doing his work but it would be really hard to take him down. I read some other thread about the game plan to beat Jones is to stand up with him. And I completely agree, only if his opponent has the skills to defend his wrestling.
If Jones vs Weidman does ever happen and Chris walks out with the W, he just might be the GOAT, beating him and Spider to add to his legacy.
