Why didnt DC use his wrestling more against jones?

[Intermission]

I never understood why he didnt believe in himself to wrestle fuck Jones.

He took Jones down at will last round of the first fight, it's not like he couldn't.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Too old and fat

I must rewatch it, I didn't remember it that way, I do remember Jones got him down a few times, so I suspect he couldn't wrestlefuck him, that's the answer.

 

[AmonTobin]

He tried but Jones showed up on steroids.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Bum LCL he had surgery on before the first Jon fight, bum foot from some torn ligaments. Just too many miles on him and Jon too juiced.

 

[Reach4theSky]

I don't remember the details of the fight. I just remember Jon owning him..

 

[Gabe]

He couldn’t Jones stuffed almost all of his attempts.

Both fights are competitive and some of the highest if not arguably the highest level MMA fights ever in terms of skill. Both guys brought their best in both fights.

He didn't shoot a single time

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

he can't hold jon down and it would take too much energy to take him down, better off striking and dirty boxing, he was landing decent shots in the 2nd fight before the headkick

 

[octagonation]

Wow this is white belt thread.. the wrestling cancelled each other out. Jones is a great wrestling himself and stuffed DC and vice versa. They couldn´t take each other down

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Why didn't Shogun just kickbox Jon?

Why didn't Vitor just break Jon's arm?

Why didn't Gus just keep up the pace?

Why didn't Santos ruin a 3rd extremity to beat Jon?

Why didn't anyone just try harder to beat this guy up?

I was rooting for Jon at the time so my memory is probably bias..

Because Jones is a decorated wrestler also and the best in MMA not a good idea for any wrestler Olympic or ncaa doesn't matter the rules are different in the UFC ..

Your first time example is horrible. Jones is a better MMA striker than Shogun.

Vitor didnt break it because Jones broke the rules

Complete false memory, he never tried

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Incredibly hard to get Jones down, who has been able to put Jones on the mat?, I remember a brief takedown in Gus 1 fight, but apart from that there isn't much. Jones is a very good wrestler himself and also was very smart to keep Cormier at his range so it was had to grab Jones.

I did notice a few times Cormier was trying to grab at Jones in the rematch but Jones was having none of it and just push kicked him as soon as he tried, Cormier always does that to opponents but Jones is just so much smarter and was ready for it

 

[Intermission]

he can't hold jon down

He doesn't know that unless he actually tries. He tried once when he was gassed in the last round.

Feel free to watch the first fight and count the number of times Cormier shot for a takedown, in any way shape or form

knees up the middle

DC talked about it in a podcast relatively recently.

he couldn't get inside because Jon was waiting for it and punishing him with elbows and knees up the middle

rewatch both and you'll see it
