Rockhold: Daniel Cormier didn't fight to his potential (against Jones)

[Uncommon Valor]

When DC himself said he hurt him with bodyshots.

I guess Jones doesn't hit too soft.

I thought that gas was a huge issue for DC, he slowed down noticeably in rounds 4 and 5. Also, he was lumbering and taking too many body kicks on his way inside. That takes A LOT out of you. I think it would've helped if DC exploded more, if anything to just be a little less predictable in his approach.

Because Jones didn't let him reach his full potential

There are times in fighting when you can win but lose & visa/versa case in point the Jones/Gus fight Gus lost but he won the hearts & minds of certain fight fans at the potential that he can beat Jones, and I'm a Jones fan.

DC just lost no call about his potential next time a fast turn around just that DC lost. If DC lost in a real good showing I doubt you would've seen one wet tear. But he got beat without question so no talk of quick rematch just move on.

I don't believe it... An american making excuses

DC is a great fighter and he is able to beat anyone even Cain and Jones. It was a close fight in which the champ was just the better man this night.

 

[Korky Buchek]

it's 1 fight, not a 7 game series. You come in a give your best. No room for excuses or wondering what if.
