So i was watching the weigh in show today live ..

And throughout most of it , i kept thinking something was different about it .. mostly as i was waiting for Friggin Jones to weigh in...

They were doing there silly games and what not and then D.C gets up to spin this wheel thing they got and it hit me...

D.C looked like to me like hes lost some significant weight and looked alot closer to his fighting days and looked good compared to other post retirement shows hes done ..he looks like hes back to training


Do you guys think its a possibility , we get a one time only HW fight between Jones and D.C if Jones wins tomorrow night....

If i can get a poll done mods , with percentages ranging from 0 to 100% that would be amazing ...


I think this would be the biggest HW fight in UFC history...forget Jones vs Ngannou...

D.C VS Jones 3 at HW would be ALI -Frazier ISQUE ..IMO... Tyson- Lewis numbers.... No doubt in my mind...for all the marbles one LAST TIME

Yeah, I'd be willing to believe they're planning all kinds bullshit.
 
He probably looks smaller because he’s stopped training altogether maybe. I don’t think there’s any chance he comes back. If Jon wins and looks impressive, it’s gonna be a tough sell to see DC come out of retirement to fight him. If Jon loses, why would they even fight at all.

A real honest take...i just think no matter what D.C says...the Jones fights bother him and hes a man of action and i could see him shoot his shot here
 
I think it would depend on if Jones wins, but looks slow or just plain bad. A slower Jones at HW would be beatable by both Stipe and DC.

You might also see Brock coming out of retirement too.

DC has said before he would go back into fighting for specific reasons only. Trying to beat Jones I'm sure is one of them. He lost 2 to Jones and even he says he views those as losses even if was overturned. DC is too competitive and will not rest easy until he beats Jones. Those losses eat at him for sure.

There's already a backup for the fight. But I can see DC trying to get a super fight with Jones at HW where he feels like he may have a better chance at winning than at LHW vs Jones.

This was my exact thoughts once I saw him looking more in shape today...

Yo, let me tell you, bro, that idea is wild, but I'm down for it! DC and Jones throwing down one last time in the heavyweight division? That would be straight fire, man! I mean, DC is looking fit and ready to go, and Jones has been packing on the pounds for the heavyweight division, so it could happen.

But, let's not forget about Stipe, he's waiting in the wings for his shot at redemption, so it might not happen right away. Plus, we gotta see how Jones does in his first heavyweight fight against Gane, and if he wins, he's gonna have a target on his back.

But, damn, bro, I can already see the hype building up for that fight. It would be insane, like a freakin' Super Bowl of MMA. And if they marketed it right, it could break all kinds of records. I'm talking about pay-per-view buys, ticket sales, you name it.

So, let's see what happens, but I'm definitely down for a DC vs Jones 3 in the heavyweight division. It would be epic, bro!

I think there's a less than zero chance, but when would they announce the change? The idea is to SELL PPVs right? When do people with $85 burning a hole in their pocket make plans for Saturday?

Easily the biggest fight....dwarfs Ngannou-Jones cuz of the history
 
It wouldn't surprise me, Cormier is retired but if there was 1 guy he would come back for it would only be Jones. Those 2 losses still hurt him and he just can't shake it. All Jones has to say is 1 sarcastic comment and Cormier will be fuming again.
 
How the hell did The DC Blimp get in shape so quick?

…And then Drunk Conor busts in and starts calling everybody mushy head rats
