Too tired for this......

Lets just see what Jones can do with Stipe. And than I'll have a better idea in how he does with HW DC.

That didn't take long.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Jones takes him out again.

DC.

There's a reason Khabib said he would never move to welterweight. He's smart.... People who can typically make 205 are people who would be too small at HW. DC is just an anomaly..... I honestly think against guys he can't psychically control will be a nightmare for him. I know he's freakishly strong for his build. But I think he will be the weaker fighter in most of the fights he'll end up in at HW.

I agree-something has to give. Either he bulks up too much to lose his agility (or not enough), or some reasonable facsimile thereof. At the end of the day, it's still something I am willing to pay some amount of money to see (a couple of beers and chicken wings).

Eye-poking Cormier was definitely not in his prime.

If HW Cormier had landed the blow that sent Jones' mouthpiece flying in their rematch, I think that might have ended the fight.
But I suspect drugs are a bigger X factor than age or weight.

 

[Prologue]

Jones, the same way he beat DC at LHW. Jones looks like he's 5-10 lbs removed from fighting at Stipe's weight anyway.
