He has an exceptional cardio and his fighting style is a nightmare for everyone who steps in there with him. From the get go he wants to dictate the pace of the fight. He puts on ridiculous amount of pressure until opponents fold to the pressure.
If the opponent has a good Takedown defence or good BJJ he won't over commit to the takedowns but instead just stay with the pressure and keep pushing forward with strikes and brawles here and there.
His like the Diaz-bros just much faster and with elite olyampic wrestling level. Jones and Gus were the only ones who could hold onto his onslaught for 5 rds because they had good cardio themselves, speed and good footwork to avoid getting corner'ed.
If you lack good wrestling or durability (being able to take incredable amount of punishment in the process and being unfazed) or if you lack cardio then you shouldn't fight him. It's a for gone conclusion he will beat you.
Speed and Clinch are also two factors to consider and if you lack both or one of them it means he beats you anyways.
Cardio, Durability, Speed, great clinch, good-footwork and great wrestling is the things you need in order to beat him. Gustafsson was close and the one thing he lacked was great clinch game because he had everything else and if he had fixed that part of his game pre-fight then he would have beaten him. He lost many points on the clinch and not else where.
Rumble lacked Cardio, Durability and great wrestling.
Jones didn't lack any of these 6 parts of his game and he had something additional which is creativity that made DC second guess himself. He could invent things during fights.
IMHO nobody can beat prime-DC except Jon Jones if I would say someone else had a chance it would be upgraded Gus (with good Clinch-game)
