Jon Jones came back after 3 years and embarrassed the HW division inside 1 round

In 2013 the top 10 UFC HW rankings were:
  • Cain (age 30)
  • JDS (age 29)
  • Werdum (age 35)
  • DC (age 34)
  • Bigfoot (age 33)
  • Overeem (age 33)
  • Mir (age 34)
  • Nogueira (age 37)
  • Barnett (age 35)
  • Stipe (age 30)
Literally the entire division were high level grapplers.

I've been telling people for a couple years now that this current HW division is a joke and it was on full display tonight.

Some monster grappling credentials in there.
 
NO ONE takes short notice fights unless it's a way of skipping the line for a title shot(like Chael did).

DC is 5 ft 11 and was considerably less mobile at HW. His skills carried the day against HWs but the idea he'd have had something for Jones at HW he didn't at LHW is ludicrous. Think Jones was trying to hype a DC trilogy at the time that looked like it was about to happen.


Lolz at acting like Francis and cos TDD would have made a difference. Fucking adorable.
Champions fight short-notice replacement fights all the time. Usman, DC, Max, Aldo. Jon puts himself in favorable positions. It's the reason he was juicing his whole career.
