I don't know if a lot of people know, but when DC talked about rebuilding himself after great lows, he probably teared up because of his daughter who he lost sadly.
TX Scrub he lost a daughter in car crash in 2003',by rebuilding he meant after that loss was hard to continue with life-he had many challenges in life is what he meant.
Gotta love Cowboy, seriously..... he lives the words he speaks. Not many people can say that. As for Jones. Once again he looks at the game/style of his opponent and he takes it to them in their own style and he does it better than they do. He beat up on Texira, he out wrestled Cormier, he slept Machida, doesn't matter what someone brings, he shows them that skill at another level. Hate all you want, Ive loved John Jones since the first time I saw him fight and he is on the way to being one of the best of all time.
Jones isn't just responding to Cormier, it's to all the ppl that want to see him fail. When he was classy, he made a bad personal decision and ppl started hating him. So now he's responding with "fire". I think he's better than that, but this was a personal fight, with genuine dislike between the 2, and Jones has feelings too. Besides if DC would've would've won like most wanted, nobody would've felt sorry for Jones... It's a beast, when most of your audience wants you to fail..
Pro Era True. But I get where Jones is coming from. If you don't like a guy and you kick his ass, it's fake to then act sympathetic towards him when you still honestly don't like him. DC may have changed his view of Jones, but he talked a lot of shit about Jones as a person and I guess Jones really took that shit personal. I'm glad the reporter forced Jones to admit what he said backstage though, 'cause he was being a little fake the first time he was asked about his respect for DC.
Where you at Jones haters? I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt and say that you may not be complete idiots but you must've been blinded by your hate for this guy. So many of you were so convinced. So delusional. As a fan of the sport how can you hate this guy? Always perplexes me when people hate amazing athletes like Jones, Lebron, etc. This is not a best human being contest. It is mixed martial arts.
philtorius congratulations on showing back up. Here's your prize for being a hater..............................................................................................................
***** don't waste your entire life trying to sound cool. What you just said is... Fiction... What I said is... Reality.... Reality is cool... Fantasy Penis jokes.. Not so much
Jones is right about his resume. Shogun, Rampage, Rashad, Texeira, Cormier, Gustafsson, Machida, Chael, Bader, Belfort...he literally cleaned out his division.
no i believe he needs to fight rumble and dc again first to say he is the greatest and i also wanna see a gus rematch becouse gus beat him 4 rounds to 1 in the first fight
Deniz Kivrakdal Jon won 2 4 and 5 I don't kno how you can't see it that way I actually score fights like judges do that's prolly where we see it different
I never knew of DC before this fight and its hype but I've grown so much respect for him. Seems like a genuine man. Jones still is my favourite fighter, I wish the two could get along. They both have a lot more in common than they think and they're both fantastic fighter
cormier can be humble all he wants nice shit and all but its not like he did not talk any shit! when you talk heavy shit the only option you have is to back it up! if you fail no one should feel sorry, its combat, fedor never talks shit and he takes motherfuckers apart and when he did loose you can feel for him because he is humble before the fight
+Djoker Dominator jones is a fake piece of shit, a father who fuckin gets high, he has talked massive amounts of shit to rashad, to gustafsson, to dc, he hit a pregnant woman and fled the scene. he's a disgrace to mma outside of the cage. dc has buried a child, a pain jon will hopefully never have to endure. i will never have any sympathy for such an unabashed villain, and i will always respect dc, just because the pain he's gone through is enough to break most men, yet he persevered and became a world champion. jon sat back and got high when he had children he could have been spending time with. a complete coward outside of the cage.
That was embarrassing for Cormier. I mean, I said Jones would win, but I expected Cormier to put u a Gustafsson level fight and get some really good takedowns. However, I was completely wrong to say that cormier would rag doll Jones. He made such a large deal about how he is the "equal" to Jon Jones and that he would even "break" him. Dude got outclassed.
3 even rounds and 2 grinding rounds ? Outclassed ? Really ? Boring ass fight. I understand that he needs to follow his game plan but seriously...I expected more from jones. I don't know what fight you were watching but that sure wasn't outclassed...Jon jones vs shogun is a better example.
Maybe outclassed is a strong word, but I think we definitely learned that they are certainly not equal. Olympic wrestler got double legged 3 times in a row. Thats embarrassing no matter what way you look at it. And if you wanna say that its because Cormier was tired, go ahead and look at that great trip that Jones did in the first round. A take down is a take down. Cormier had some pretty good strikes the first couple of rounds, but then he just gassed himself. I am by no means a Jones fan. In fact, I wanted Cormier to win, but didnt think he would. However, I thought Cormier would put up a better fight considering he said he would try to "break Jon Jones". Atleast he threw him in the 5th round
Age 4-8 taekwondo. 12-18 boxing with 2 years of highschool wrestling. Currently training juijitsu and muaythai. So yes I have the right to tell you to go train. So what styles of mma did you learn ? Cause obviously mma is mixed but I like to train with certain styles directly and incorporate then later with other things I've learned. If you're taking a generalized mma class with no specific style then you're not learning every aspect and techniques of the style itself. So you're telling me that the media staff went to every fighter in the organization and asked each of them if they thought that Jon Jones could take cormier down specifically. I think not. Why would he not ? Taking down someone that is gassed isn't unpredictable is it ? Did you think cormier had better stamina than Jones ? And if we are talking about the defensive side then how about this. Cormier knew he could only get Jones down with a double leg. Cause no one(besides Gus) can take Jones down with a single leg attempt especially with size advantage. Jones stance and his arsenal of weapons make it very hard to take him down which is why cormier couldn't do it. Why do you think there were so little attempts made by cormier in the first couple rounds. And are you talking about his wrestling record or mma ? Cause dcs mma resume isn't the best if you ask me.
Outclassed dumbfuck. Just like how I am outclassing you right now. 7 years of judo, 10 years of boxing, 2nd degree in taekwondo so let's say 2 years of that if you're good. 8 years of wrestling so I'm guessing that's your high school and college and I'm pretty sure you mixed in judo with your wrestling cause that was the perfect learning combination. So either your hella fucking old, you barely had a job, have too much time in your hands, or your making this shit up. I go with the last, but I could be wrong. So since you trained so much, are you fighting professionally right now ? If not then what a waste. Yes. I saw Jones going for a takedown and getting it ? How ? First. Jones openly admitted that was his game plan, to defeat cormier at his own game. Second, I knew he was going to be doing it in the championship rounds cause that's when cormier would be gassed and we all saw that coming. It really doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Yeah I've been smoking that catnip called alaskan thunderfucks. I'm also plowing some coke all over your mothers ass and your girlfriend is sucking my dick all at the same time. So what Im Asian. Funny how you have something against Asians when you've been learning martial arts from them this whole entire time. Oh since you've been competing for so long. How about sharing some of your vids. If you don't want to then its okay but you know that means youre a fake ass liar right?
***** what's funny to me is that you don't seem like a martial artist by the way you come off. Real Martial artists are usually calm, cool, and collect. But you seem like a guy that needs to be humbled. Very disrespectful of the sport itself.
Jones is the best right now youngest champion ever, beating everyone in his class. No matter what anyone say he won. He doesn't show respect to DC Bc he didn't get respect from DC before the fight. DC said he was gonna spit in his face after he defeated him. DC started all the shit talk nd made the whole thing personal. So can't blame Jones for saying what he said
You know that there was huge part that was cut off before Cormier said he wanted to spit in his face. You should watch it. Jones is a douche, but he is a beast. He's a douche beast.
1) no he didnt say he would "spit in his face after defeating him" Dont spread misinformation 2) he clearly showed respect to DC in this interview, did you even watch it? 3) Nobody knows who started anything because it was started by a conversation that only DC and Jones know about, so any opinion on it is completely subjective
I feel for Daniel and I was rooting for him too. The guy has never been a actual champion. He was the Strikeforce Grand Prix Champion but not the actual Heavyweight Champion cause the belt was vacated. He is still one of the best in the division and this win just shows how good Jones is and not how bad Cormier is. Don't like Jones but with this, Jon Jones is the greatest fighter to ever walk inside the octagon.
I completely disagree with you that Jones is the greatest fighter that ever stepped in octagon. Jones has great ability and talent but to be the greatest imo you have to be broken down and come back you have to know all areas of success and know that not even defeat can stop you. Jones doesn't know that the only thing he knows is success and when he should have been taught that lesson in the Alexander Gustavsson fight he was given the win. One of the greatest yes the greatest no but he is still young his story has not yet been told.
***** Jones has already lost (BS loss) so that is not going to happen second mma is not boxing styles change just because you clear out the old school does not mean you are the greatest. There is a new school of LHW clear them out next then I'll tip my hat. Last Jones does not have to lose a fight to be pushed to the limit but when he does he should be able to prove that he can come back no matter what.
The real question is, what's next for Jones? The two guys that pose interesting fights, Johnson and Gustafson are about to fight each other. The winner will probably get the next shot. Those two guys are about all that's left in lhw division for Jones to face. I'd like to see both of those fights but really that's all that's left. Does Jones go to heavyweight and if he does does he stand a chance? His biggest weakness is he lacks punching power. Will a move up help increase that? You need that one hitter quitter status at heavyweight IMO.
***** I am not trying or saying you don't know what your talking about so don't take offense man. All I am saying is that I a fighter is as great as his odds and his ability to overcome come them. What we have seen is that Jones is a new breed and he can beat the best of the old school but i am not sure what a fight with guys like Alex or Anthony or even Phil possess. He don't have to lose to make him the greatest he just has to be pushed to the point of losing or loss and whether he can comeback victorious will prove him as the GREATEST IMO.
This is what I typed in another video. You might not name him the greatest of all time just yet but by the end of 2015 it will solidify it. It's just after last night it solidified it in my eyes and this is why. Yeah fights like this I have to rewatch when the hype wears down the next day cause I gave Cormier rounds 2 and 3 last night but watching it again I agree with the judges, Jones won 1,3,4,5 and Cormier rounds 2. Man I was really pulling for DC in this fight but although it wasn't the slugfest brawl people wanted a bad blood fight to be, I'm not a fan of Jon Jones but that was an amazing performance. It was how Jon Jones beat Daniel Cormier that amazed me and it actually spoke louder to me than a knockout in the first round. Jones outworked, out grit and outwrestled Olympian Daniel Cormier in a way I never thought Jones could do. The fact that Jones was able to take Cormier down 3 times but even bigger, how he was able to defend 8 of Daniels takedown attempts spoke volume. He beat Daniel Cormier at his strength like he did so many others and this fight doesn't discredit DC. He is one hell of a competitor and at the very top of the division and this win doesn't say DC sucks for people that are jumping off his bandwagon. This win just shows just how great Jones is and I don't even like the guy but I have to respect what he has done. Others might not say it just yet but I've said for weeks now and I will say it now. After this fight, Jon Jones is the greatest fighter to ever walk inside the octagon. He is only 27 years old and since 2011 has been through a murderers row of fighters starting with undefeated 12-0 NCAA division I all american Ryan Bader, than 5 former UFC champions, than the guy that was seconds away from defeating the GOAT Anderson Silva in a fight where if Chael survived just 30 more seconds he would have became the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion due to Jones injured toe, than a fighter that I honestly believe Jones overlooked severely but went through a war and showed he can overcome and win, than to defeat a fighter that was on a 20 fight win streak since 2006 who had it not been for his visa issues would of been the champion Jones would of thought instead of Shogun, and last the 2 time olympian Strikeforce Grand Prix champion. With everything I'm saying about Jones, I still don't like him although I found a new respect for him during the post fight conference, but regardless of how I feel about him, I have to believe he is the greatest fighter to ever walk in the cage.
Jones is a great fighter. How you can be a fan of his I do not know. He showed absolutely no respect for DC and DC gave him nothing but praise and made not ONE excuse for why his lost. I have a feeling if DC would have won he would had still given Jones respect. Jones is just not mature and nowhere near the greatest of all time.
You just lack intelligence. DC and Jones have been going back and forth for months now....the winner of this fight was never going to show respect. Its the UFC pussy not tennis.
***** I didn't say what cerrone did was right either. He was classless too. Hope Pettis beats his ass again too. Yes these guys fight, but show some respect for a person who is pursuing the same goal as you. I'm not a Connor fan but at least he shows his opponents respect after he crushes them.
Well that's not totally true, he gave him respect as a fighter. That was the first thing he said. But he obviously doesn't like him and didn't do a 180, in other words, I guess he wasn't "fake" about it.
DC had no choice but to show respect. What else would he have done? Also, I think just the opposite. I think the old Jones would have tried to be politically correct to appease bleeding hearts like you. The guy I just saw is a conqueror, that peasants can't understand. Do you feel sorry for DC. "Not one bit, this is combat" If that doesn't get you wound up. If that doesn't touch the warrior in you, then there's no hope for you being that.
Jones tested positive for cocaine... “I’ve always been a person who tries to do the right thing in life, for the most part. I’m no angel, but I was always the kid who snitched on the kids who had pot. I don’t want to offend the pot smokers out there, but I was kind of just a snitch. I was just down for people doing the right thing. My parents kind of raised me to be a good guy. I’ve always been down for the good side, I guess.” - Jon Jones ...come on!
Michael Harness It's humorous how you jump to conclusions and insult me just for stating my opinion. It's a good thing that your just a stupid fucking keyboard warrior who doesn't like it when people have opinions that differ from your own. People like you get there asses kicked in real life for talking shit for apparent no reason.
Michael Harness And on top of that, Diaz got suspended a year for smoking pot yet when your idol Mr. Jones snorts some coke you think he shouldn't be punished.
Michael Harness /Facepalm, who told you coke is allowed rofl??? Coke is NOT ALLOWED !!!He didnt get strippd because the drug was found on Dec 4th and so its considered out of comp as the effects of coke only last a day or two, unlike steroids., and thus this not a bannable offense. Had they found steroid in him he would have been banned at that time, that is true. Had they found the coke in him on the drug test they do the day after the fight he would have been stripped and banned. This is how this works. Im just impressed that Jones can be so good while being a street drug abuser !Dec 4th would have meant he was in camp for the big fight, so he cant say it was offseason fun(but still considered out of comp by commission), he clearly was addicted. I think this also explains his massive personality shift. He has now gone rehab and promised to do better this year with training and drugs , i wish him the best. coincidentally im gonna give up coke(crack) too.If he can do it , i can too!
After seeing Cormier being so arrogant after beating Johnson and calling out Jon Jones... It's refreshing seeing Cormier crying after he got beat up by Jon Jones.
Jon Jones literally challenged the calibur of AKA by challenging Cain Velasquez and coined him as A.K.A.'s premiere fighter, and topped it all off with Jackson/Winklejohn camp is superior to A.K.A. Cain do us all a favor and call out Jon Jones for the UFC HW title.
Although he has made alot of bad choices... I miss Jones the fighter. HE was imo the Greatest. He would have gone down as the GOAT. I hope he gets his life together and we see him in the Octagon again soon...
big respect to DC. alot of things were involved in that, we'll never know cos we weren't in the ring but all i can say well done to both men, and DC, this is not the end.
Maaaaannnnn!!!!!! Been watching Cowboy from his beginnings in WEC and still he's amazing to watch and his post fight swagger is unmatched. Way to go Donald keep giving em hell and bringing that arsenal of skills.
Daniel Cormier started crap....Jon Jones finished it. Why should Jon Jones give DC any respect after he lost if DC was disrespecting Jon Jones before that? Jon Jones doesn't just disrespect people out of nowhere. Has Jones acted that way in any of his previous 20 wins? No...think people and use discernment.
At least Jones was consistent. DC was full of hate and disrespectful comments pre fight and now is crying like his lunch money got stolen again. Jones executed the perfect fight plan. Fair play to him. I thought Felder and Horiguchi looked great tonight.
Did Cormier not call Jones a horrible human being and threaten to spit in his face?Jones remained consistent with his disrespect of Cormier post fight, Cormier showed a disingenuous side to him by not being consistent with his pre fight rhetoric in the press conference. I am not dumb just stating my opinion of the facts based on how I see them.
Jones is becoming great. But DC to me is probably the most humble fighter I have ever known. He doesn't make excuses and works on becoming better. Can't wait to see these two outstanding Athletes go at it again. Bless you both. And I'm happy I live in these times to see something as special as these two.
Humble? He said he would spit in JBJ face...did everyone forget the pre-fight shit slinging they both did? COME ON, dont feel sorry just because he lost and cried. At the end of the day the winner is the winner.
What wrong with seeing these fighters cry? When you spent all your life perfecting your craft and dedicating yourself to reach your ultimate goal of winning a title. Of course its hard when you lose. Champions cry. Its normal.
InfernoPhoenix100 yea DC couldn't see after the eye poke or DC won the first 2 rounds without eye pokes ?LOL even without it DC would lose the fight+ DC was making fun of Jones eye poke's in one video on facebook with Luke Rockhold so even Daniel didn't make excuse but his fans are crying like idiots..
these men put their lives on the line, not afraid of death, don't expect them to be polite and nice outside or inside the ring, this is fighting folks! Both are warriors, and respect each other as that.
I don't see what Jones did wrong at all honestly.. was it disrespectful? Yeah, I guess, but if you truly dislike a person why would you show respect towards him? What Jones did at the end of the fight to DC is not really surprising. Plus it's not like he did it after the bell rung. It was still during the fight, DC got caught slipping. It's his own fault. Was is hard to watch DC broken like he was? Yes, I felt bad for the guy, but Jon Jones is absolutely right. If it was the other way around DC would've been talking mad shit at Jones and rubbing it in probably the whole press conference.
After all the hype, I'm glad it was a good fight; however this is the first time I felt myself starting to cry watching a UFC post-fight because of DC. I really felt for him and thought he was a great sportsman for being honest, showing respect and being complimentary of Jones skills, but I was disappointed in Jones attitude towards him at the end of the conference. On the other hand Jones comments are wise, philosophical, and confident, and it's frightening to realize his potential to get better. I am a fan of both fighters and do without doubt know the Jones is the best on the planet right now and will probably go down as the best of all time. People kill me saying that Gus beat Jones... obviously Jones haters because Gus fought him like no one else, but ran out of steam at the end and started to run and almost got knocked out. Anderson Silva is the greatest of all time because of the longevity of his run and the unique and entertaining way he dispatched opponents. John Jones is the greatest right now because of his record, heart, and level of opposition he's faced. Warning for opponents in 2015! John says he studies and can absorb or inherit the skills of his competition: SO RESISTANCE, IS FUTILE!
Aw man.. Right when I saw Cormier walk in it hurt to see him so depressed, made my stomach churn. Fuck it is so painful to see him try his best to not cry. He'll be back, I don't know how but, he will. Just really sucks considering with all he's been through and his whole camp being there to support him.
I saw this fight live feed at a theater on the east coast. I became a "Jones" fan after watching highlights of his first title match years ago. Jon "The Bones" Jones is a terrific fighter; a True Champion; and is the Best example of what a warrior should be. Stay true to You Champ!
Its one thing too take a Olympian wrestler down.its another when u beat a Olympian wrestler and undefeated fighter while on crack.jones is just that good
I'm a fan of both but one thing i can say is that " It has truly been an joy watching jones career unfold watching him grow as a fighter and as a man. Aside from ur personal feelings one thing we cant deny is when the cage door slams Jones BRINGS it!
That was the best post fight press conference EVER in the UFC. Those were chilling responses spoken like a true warrior. I've never seen a champion be able to articulate his mentality about fighting so well. He beat him at his own boring game. Cormier would've been hurt bad if Jones fought him at distance. Then he cries and the press applauds? After all that loud mouthing? John's comments after he wept were priceless..."I don't feel sorry for him #This is Combat ".
Some bewildered kids, think that just because Jones was able to beat DC in a stunning fashion, that he will be able to beat Cain Valesquez, I would urge you to remove Jon's Semen off your eyes and start perceiving things differently. Cain Valesquez is a Cardio Monster, He is a better striker than Cormier. We saw how Cormier struggled with his conditioning in the last 2 rounds. He was exhausted and flustered. You won't have that kind of dilemma with Valesquez. He will put immense volume on Jones and will grind him near the cage. Jones is the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC, but lets not jump into conclusions. You can accredit Jones all you want, but don't lambaste and degrade Valesquez, becasue he is still the best fighter in UFC. The abundant strikes that he lands in every bout, in addition to his unprecedented conditioning and cardio, would make him the most menacing fighter on planet earth. Not to mention his sumptuous wrestling. Its tough to prepare for a guy like that. The same could be said about Jones. Jones is unpredictable with his unlimited set of skills and wiles in his arsenal. It would make up for the best fight in UFC'S history.
Really nice seeing Cormier being humble and respectful in defeat. Jones is just a monster that I believe is the best ever. Excited to see Cormier fight in the future.
This was the best post fight conference I've seen in a long time. Jon Jones has matured big time. Serious business, big money Fight. UFC 182 main event lived up to the hype. Bones Jones and Daniel Cormier put on one hell of a show-
There's nothing that suggest he was on cocaine during the fight. You need to relax, hypelord. I'm not even a big Jones fan, but people like you make me like him more.
Being a DC fan, this fight was a heartbreaker. I can imagine DC's frustration at trying to overcome the sheer amount of leverage JJ has in his length. I could see it was near impossible to get underneath his center of gravity. Honestly, this fight and the words spoken afterward, makes me respect Jones more. He clearly does have the work ethic and maturity it takes to be a champion. I may not have liked Jones up to this point, because of his immaturity and disrespect, but I can see he is changing into someone I can commend. I may never root for him, but I'll respect his abilities. Like an article said, he really is a once-in-a-generation talent. He is the perfect storm of genetics, hard work, and an ever-gaining skillset. People can ignore that, but it's true.
Felt bad for DC, Jones seems so undeserving. Even when Jones tried to come off has humble and classy with his responses, I have seen enough of his press, and his interviews through the years to see through his bullshit.
Through 3 rounds, before DC ran out of gas, he was actually neck and neck in punches landed with Jones. I'd even argue that DC hurt Jones more than he hurt DC. It's pretty amazing to see DC's face look rather untouched after the fight. It shows how good DC was in the standup, but Jones' body shots and DC running out of gas was bascially the fight.
Where are the DC nuthuggers now? Do you guys realise that nobody except for Gus will beat Jon Jones? But dont worry. The viking will do it in 215. Just Witness. Takedowns in Jones vs Cormier: about 5-1, Gus vs Jones: 1-1 with endless number of approaches by Jones. THE VIKING IS COMING FOR YOU MR JONES.
I sure hope he brings down Jones. Only problem with Gus vs Jones is that it brings out the filthy racist ''fans'' for some stupid, unknown reason. (especially the nordic-centric racists)
Well JBJ did again, great fight but DC I applaud you on being a class act that takes guts especially after the trash talking that went on, that showed what type of man u are you'll be back without a question, JBJ is the best out there period!!!!!
hard now,he'll need 2-3 fights to get the shot again and those would be 2-3 hard fights.one has to go back and get that same drive back for those other opponents,I don't think he can,Guss can but I don't think DC can.
true, it will take him probably a year or two to get back. i believe in him. yeah i think guss is the one that can beat jones. and johnson looks just as dangerous too.
setokaiba200x Johnson is easy solvable riddle for Jones,would most prob gas out and JJ would finish him in later rounds.as it stands only Alex can defeat JJ again.
Yes Jon gets the win but it wasn't in spectacular fashion like most claimed JJ would do. It was a good match that went the distance. Hats off to JJ for the win but at the end was a very douche bag move by JJ. The bell wasn't over and he put his hands up like it rang. DC out of respect lets go of his leg and JJ turns and punches DC. I mean WTF dude? If you wanna put your hands up and celebrate early, do it! DC let go of your leg but don't turn around and punch him cause you realize the bell didn't completely rang. I take nothing from JJ as a fighter but his character is trash. No class and he knows it. Exactly the type of fighter that will land hard when he falls. In ordered to be remembered as a great fighter, its not just how you perform in the ring but also how you display your character.
@Thee Engineer. I wonder if all those ALI fans NOW felt the same way back when ALI was fighting? I'm sure ppl said much worse things about him. But now that time has passed and ppl stop judging him based on their personal feelings Ali is considered " THE GREATEST" Just like he said back then and everyone was saying he's so arrogant and "That BOY" needs 2 have his mouth shut. Now what does jones do (outside of beat ur fav fighter) that causes u 2 dislike him in the ring? How u feel about him outside of the ring matters NONE. But from what i've see his whole career is that inside the ring he does exactly what u want a champ 2 do and be. Young talented and driven. And with youth u tend 2 make mistakes. Remember jones is only what 25-26? Didn't we all make mistakes at that age? When did we become PERFECT and stopped smelling our OWN ish? And i can ASSURE u when its all said and done and we go over his career HE WILL BE REMEMBERED and mentioned with the Greats past present and future. Jon Jones is THE REAL DEAL. Give that man his respect in the RING.
MrAddidas2 Sorry bud. As a fighter sure he gets a thumbs up for that but no way in hell am I vouching for him as the greatest. NO WAY. Unless he cleans up his acts he's yet to be held in my eyes as the greatest. My requirement as a great fighter is my own personal standard. Its just my opinion. To me a great fighter never fakes his personality to win over the heart of the fans and then act like a douche when he thinks he's off camera. If you wanna be the greatest then please act accordingly. This is just my opinion but Fedor stands for what it means to be a great fighter. Doesn't talk smack about people and takes care of his business in the cage. Regardless of whether his record beats Jones is irrelevant. Fedor is in my eyes one of the greatest.
This is what this sport is about. Skill, battle, heart, grind, and emotion. I leave this fight with more respect for both men. Very hard to see DC so upset. He's just a good, honest guy and doesn't mix his words. Says where he's at for real. I say DC takes loser of Rumble and Gus?
An Olympic wrestler was taken down 3 times by Jon..... Let that sink in
4 TIMES WATCH AGAIN INCLUDING BAC TO BACK TAKEDOWNS
***** He's definitely a future legend, I just wish he could show more humility, like a GSP. (opinion)
Exhausted too though.
***** spoiler alert: No one cares! Its MMA not wrestling. Stop the excuses.
GamerGirlBarbieDoll Vixen you are too ugly to be commenting. Get back in the KITCHEN!
"so no I don't feel sorry for him, this is combat" damn that shit was gangsta!
I don't know if a lot of people know, but when DC talked about rebuilding himself after great lows, he probably teared up because of his daughter who he lost sadly.
11 years ago and still hurts :-(
That made no sense, what the fuck are you saying?
TX Scrub
he lost a daughter in car crash in 2003',by rebuilding he meant after that loss was hard to continue with life-he had many challenges in life is what he meant.
it is rash to comment on the tragedy in a forum, of one who is likely to visit.
He also lost his father who was murdered around the time he lost his daughter.
Gotta love Cowboy, seriously..... he lives the words he speaks. Not many people can say that. As for Jones. Once again he looks at the game/style of his opponent and he takes it to them in their own style and he does it better than they do. He beat up on Texira, he out wrestled Cormier, he slept Machida, doesn't matter what someone brings, he shows them that skill at another level. Hate all you want, Ive loved John Jones since the first time I saw him fight and he is on the way to being one of the best of all time.
Jones isn't just responding to Cormier, it's to all the ppl that want to see him fail. When he was classy, he made a bad personal decision and ppl started hating him. So now he's responding with "fire". I think he's better than that, but this was a personal fight, with genuine dislike between the 2, and Jones has feelings too. Besides if DC would've would've won like most wanted, nobody would've felt sorry for Jones... It's a beast, when most of your audience wants you to fail..
Man you know the exact thoughts of so many people including Jon Jones, what a gift you have.
Jones has feelings tooo....................stfu
*****
It takes one to know one.
***** don't shame our name bro
***** No your a hater, haters aren't cool lol
Gained a huge amount of respect for DC. He's a very humble man in defeat. A true warrior. His honesty is refreshing.
Pro Era True. But I get where Jones is coming from. If you don't like a guy and you kick his ass, it's fake to then act sympathetic towards him when you still honestly don't like him. DC may have changed his view of Jones, but he talked a lot of shit about Jones as a person and I guess Jones really took that shit personal. I'm glad the reporter forced Jones to admit what he said backstage though, 'cause he was being a little fake the first time he was asked about his respect for DC.
Where you at Jones haters?
I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt and say that you may not be complete idiots but you must've been blinded by your hate for this guy. So many of you were so convinced. So delusional. As a fan of the sport how can you hate this guy? Always perplexes me when people hate amazing athletes like Jones, Lebron, etc. This is not a best human being contest. It is mixed martial arts.
And STILL a douche-bag who eye pokes little guys.
right fucking here.
philtorius congratulations on showing back up. Here's your prize for being a hater..............................................................................................................
***** Dude what is wrong with you? Can you talk like a normal decent human being and not be a disgusting homophobe?
***** don't waste your entire life trying to sound cool. What you just said is... Fiction... What I said is... Reality.... Reality is cool... Fantasy Penis jokes.. Not so much
31:35 Dana's joke fails.
Jones is right about his resume. Shogun, Rampage, Rashad, Texeira, Cormier, Gustafsson, Machida, Chael, Bader, Belfort...he literally cleaned out his division.
no i believe he needs to fight rumble and dc again first to say he is the greatest and i also wanna see a gus rematch becouse gus beat him 4 rounds to 1 in the first fight
Luke 'Sexy boy' Rockhold are you dumb? Jon won round 2 debatable but he got it and rounds 4 and 5 are clear
Sauce God Gio you should watch the fight again, gustaffson clearly won and jones didnt know what to do the first 4 rounds
Deniz Kivrakdal Jon won 2 4 and 5 I don't kno how you can't see it that way I actually score fights like judges do that's prolly where we see it different
Sauce God Gio jon won round 5 and you can argue About round 4 but gustaffson won the first 3 rounds for sure
I never knew of DC before this fight and its hype but I've grown so much respect for him. Seems like a genuine man. Jones still is my favourite fighter, I wish the two could get along. They both have a lot more in common than they think and they're both fantastic fighter
@@BoxyTheSpaceDog hes pretty damn close buddy
@@BoxyTheSpaceDog too late to what buddy? Still mad that Jones is undefeated?
@@BoxyTheSpaceDog but you obviously cared enough to comment and hate on him. Cry about it buddy. You can't stand that Jones is still undefeated🤣
cormier can be humble all he wants nice shit and all but its not like he did not talk any shit! when you talk heavy shit the only option you have is to back it up! if you fail no one should feel sorry, its combat, fedor never talks shit and he takes motherfuckers apart and when he did loose you can feel for him because he is humble before the fight
+Djoker Dominator jones is a fake piece of shit, a father who fuckin gets high, he has talked massive amounts of shit to rashad, to gustafsson, to dc, he hit a pregnant woman and fled the scene. he's a disgrace to mma outside of the cage. dc has buried a child, a pain jon will hopefully never have to endure. i will never have any sympathy for such an unabashed villain, and i will always respect dc, just because the pain he's gone through is enough to break most men, yet he persevered and became a world champion. jon sat back and got high when he had children he could have been spending time with. a complete coward outside of the cage.
well we know Jon wasn't playin video games between fights....
That was embarrassing for Cormier. I mean, I said Jones would win, but I expected Cormier to put u a Gustafsson level fight and get some really good takedowns. However, I was completely wrong to say that cormier would rag doll Jones. He made such a large deal about how he is the "equal" to Jon Jones and that he would even "break" him. Dude got outclassed.
3 even rounds and 2 grinding rounds ? Outclassed ? Really ? Boring ass fight. I understand that he needs to follow his game plan but seriously...I expected more from jones. I don't know what fight you were watching but that sure wasn't outclassed...Jon jones vs shogun is a better example.
Maybe outclassed is a strong word, but I think we definitely learned that they are certainly not equal. Olympic wrestler got double legged 3 times in a row. Thats embarrassing no matter what way you look at it. And if you wanna say that its because Cormier was tired, go ahead and look at that great trip that Jones did in the first round. A take down is a take down. Cormier had some pretty good strikes the first couple of rounds, but then he just gassed himself. I am by no means a Jones fan. In fact, I wanted Cormier to win, but didnt think he would. However, I thought Cormier would put up a better fight considering he said he would try to "break Jon Jones". Atleast he threw him in the 5th round
Age 4-8 taekwondo. 12-18 boxing with 2 years of highschool wrestling. Currently training juijitsu and muaythai. So yes I have the right to tell you to go train. So what styles of mma did you learn ? Cause obviously mma is mixed but I like to train with certain styles directly and incorporate then later with other things I've learned. If you're taking a generalized mma class with no specific style then you're not learning every aspect and techniques of the style itself.
So you're telling me that the media staff went to every fighter in the organization and asked each of them if they thought that Jon Jones could take cormier down specifically. I think not. Why would he not ? Taking down someone that is gassed isn't unpredictable is it ? Did you think cormier had better stamina than Jones ? And if we are talking about the defensive side then how about this. Cormier knew he could only get Jones down with a double leg. Cause no one(besides Gus) can take Jones down with a single leg attempt especially with size advantage. Jones stance and his arsenal of weapons make it very hard to take him down which is why cormier couldn't do it. Why do you think there were so little attempts made by cormier in the first couple rounds. And are you talking about his wrestling record or mma ? Cause dcs mma resume isn't the best if you ask me.
Outclassed dumbfuck. Just like how I am outclassing you right now. 7 years of judo, 10 years of boxing, 2nd degree in taekwondo so let's say 2 years of that if you're good. 8 years of wrestling so I'm guessing that's your high school and college and I'm pretty sure you mixed in judo with your wrestling cause that was the perfect learning combination. So either your hella fucking old, you barely had a job, have too much time in your hands, or your making this shit up. I go with the last, but I could be wrong. So since you trained so much, are you fighting professionally right now ? If not then what a waste. Yes. I saw Jones going for a takedown and getting it ? How ? First. Jones openly admitted that was his game plan, to defeat cormier at his own game. Second, I knew he was going to be doing it in the championship rounds cause that's when cormier would be gassed and we all saw that coming. It really doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Yeah I've been smoking that catnip called alaskan thunderfucks. I'm also plowing some coke all over your mothers ass and your girlfriend is sucking my dick all at the same time. So what Im Asian. Funny how you have something against Asians when you've been learning martial arts from them this whole entire time. Oh since you've been competing for so long. How about sharing some of your vids. If you don't want to then its okay but you know that means youre a fake ass liar right?
***** what's funny to me is that you don't seem like a martial artist by the way you come off. Real Martial artists are usually calm, cool, and collect. But you seem like a guy that needs to be humbled. Very disrespectful of the sport itself.
I cried a little when dc started crying
we all did :-( but tears are for people,soldiers cry too,2015-return of DC(real peoples champ)!
I just felt awkward...
I got an erection
cormier was confident as hell... he defeated himself
be8282 I came a little XD
Feed Cain to Jon! He's already beat everybody including the overrated Anderson in a sparring match! JON JONES P4P KING GOAT
UR FUCKING UGLY
Hey partner in crime. Khabib next champ!
seriously right now. jones would straight lose to cain. seriously.
Feed jon to Cain? Bro you were just on another video talking bout you would delete your account if jones won you bandwagoner
If I'm not mistaken you said jones
Jones is the best right now youngest champion ever, beating everyone in his class. No matter what anyone say he won. He doesn't show respect to DC Bc he didn't get respect from DC before the fight. DC said he was gonna spit in his face after he defeated him. DC started all the shit talk nd made the whole thing personal. So can't blame Jones for saying what he said
You know that there was huge part that was cut off before Cormier said he wanted to spit in his face. You should watch it. Jones is a douche, but he is a beast. He's a douche beast.
There's a punishment for trash talk. Conor next.
1) no he didnt say he would "spit in his face after defeating him" Dont spread misinformation
2) he clearly showed respect to DC in this interview, did you even watch it?
3) Nobody knows who started anything because it was started by a conversation that only DC and Jones know about, so any opinion on it is completely subjective
so you can suck on them muffins!
and still
"I don't want to mess my system (with coffeine)" Maybe coach should have offered couple of lines =)))
23:30 I dont wanna mess with my system he said LMAOOO
I feel for Daniel and I was rooting for him too. The guy has never been a actual champion. He was the Strikeforce Grand Prix Champion but not the actual Heavyweight Champion cause the belt was vacated. He is still one of the best in the division and this win just shows how good Jones is and not how bad Cormier is. Don't like Jones but with this, Jon Jones is the greatest fighter to ever walk inside the octagon.
I completely disagree with you that Jones is the greatest fighter that ever stepped in octagon. Jones has great ability and talent but to be the greatest imo you have to be broken down and come back you have to know all areas of success and know that not even defeat can stop you. Jones doesn't know that the only thing he knows is success and when he should have been taught that lesson in the Alexander Gustavsson fight he was given the win. One of the greatest yes the greatest no but he is still young his story has not yet been told.
***** Jones has already lost (BS loss) so that is not going to happen second mma is not boxing styles change just because you clear out the old school does not mean you are the greatest. There is a new school of LHW clear them out next then I'll tip my hat. Last Jones does not have to lose a fight to be pushed to the limit but when he does he should be able to prove that he can come back no matter what.
The real question is, what's next for Jones? The two guys that pose interesting fights, Johnson and Gustafson are about to fight each other. The winner will probably get the next shot. Those two guys are about all that's left in lhw division for Jones to face. I'd like to see both of those fights but really that's all that's left. Does Jones go to heavyweight and if he does does he stand a chance? His biggest weakness is he lacks punching power. Will a move up help increase that? You need that one hitter quitter status at heavyweight IMO.
***** I am not trying or saying you don't know what your talking about so don't take offense man. All I am saying is that I a fighter is as great as his odds and his ability to overcome come them. What we have seen is that Jones is a new breed and he can beat the best of the old school but i am not sure what a fight with guys like Alex or Anthony or even Phil possess. He don't have to lose to make him the greatest he just has to be pushed to the point of losing or loss and whether he can comeback victorious will prove him as the GREATEST IMO.
This is what I typed in another video. You might not name him the greatest of all time just yet but by the end of 2015 it will solidify it. It's just after last night it solidified it in my eyes and this is why.
Yeah fights like this I have to rewatch when the hype wears down the next day cause I gave Cormier rounds 2 and 3 last night but watching it again I agree with the judges, Jones won 1,3,4,5 and Cormier rounds 2. Man I was really pulling for DC in this fight but although it wasn't the slugfest brawl people wanted a bad blood fight to be, I'm not a fan of Jon Jones but that was an amazing performance. It was how Jon Jones beat Daniel Cormier that amazed me and it actually spoke louder to me than a knockout in the first round. Jones outworked, out grit and outwrestled Olympian Daniel Cormier in a way I never thought Jones could do. The fact that Jones was able to take Cormier down 3 times but even bigger, how he was able to defend 8 of Daniels takedown attempts spoke volume. He beat Daniel Cormier at his strength like he did so many others and this fight doesn't discredit DC. He is one hell of a competitor and at the very top of the division and this win doesn't say DC sucks for people that are jumping off his bandwagon. This win just shows just how great Jones is and I don't even like the guy but I have to respect what he has done. Others might not say it just yet but I've said for weeks now and I will say it now. After this fight, Jon Jones is the greatest fighter to ever walk inside the octagon. He is only 27 years old and since 2011 has been through a murderers row of fighters starting with undefeated 12-0 NCAA division I all american Ryan Bader, than 5 former UFC champions, than the guy that was seconds away from defeating the GOAT Anderson Silva in a fight where if Chael survived just 30 more seconds he would have became the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion due to Jones injured toe, than a fighter that I honestly believe Jones overlooked severely but went through a war and showed he can overcome and win, than to defeat a fighter that was on a 20 fight win streak since 2006 who had it not been for his visa issues would of been the champion Jones would of thought instead of Shogun, and last the 2 time olympian Strikeforce Grand Prix champion. With everything I'm saying about Jones, I still don't like him although I found a new respect for him during the post fight conference, but regardless of how I feel about him, I have to believe he is the greatest fighter to ever walk in the cage.
goodbye DC! nice knowing you.
DC was out pointed, nothing more.
***** he is not the best. ;) lets try cain.
*****
Yes there is, its called losing. He shouldn't have talked so much shit before the fight, now he is crying.
Cormier is not a top fighter dude. His range and cardio is average or Low. Try Cain or dos Santos. They would beat him
DC is not going anywhere you imbecile.
Jones is a great fighter. How you can be a fan of his I do not know. He showed absolutely no respect for DC and DC gave him nothing but praise and made not ONE excuse for why his lost. I have a feeling if DC would have won he would had still given Jones respect. Jones is just not mature and nowhere near the greatest of all time.
You just lack intelligence. DC and Jones have been going back and forth for months now....the winner of this fight was never going to show respect. Its the UFC pussy not tennis.
Yes but Dc showed respect after the fight and didn't make any excuses. Jones showed no humility in victory. Jones is a kid still man.
***** I didn't say what cerrone did was right either. He was classless too. Hope Pettis beats his ass again too. Yes these guys fight, but show some respect for a person who is pursuing the same goal as you. I'm not a Connor fan but at least he shows his opponents respect after he crushes them.
Well that's not totally true, he gave him respect as a fighter. That was the first thing he said. But he obviously doesn't like him and didn't do a 180, in other words, I guess he wasn't "fake" about it.
DC had no choice but to show respect. What else would he have done? Also, I think just the opposite. I think the old Jones would have tried to be politically correct to appease bleeding hearts like you. The guy I just saw is a conqueror, that peasants can't understand.
Do you feel sorry for DC. "Not one bit, this is combat"
If that doesn't get you wound up. If that doesn't touch the warrior in you, then there's no hope for you being that.
Jones tested positive for cocaine...
“I’ve always been a person who tries to do the right thing in life, for the most part. I’m no angel, but I was always the kid who snitched on the kids who had pot. I don’t want to offend the pot smokers out there, but I was kind of just a snitch. I was just down for people doing the right thing. My parents kind of raised me to be a good guy. I’ve always been down for the good side, I guess.” - Jon Jones
...come on!
Jones needs to be stripped of the belt
Bennet B why the chemical that was found isn't banned by the fight commission...your just a hater go sit in a corner you crybaby
Michael Harness It's humorous how you jump to conclusions and insult me just for stating my opinion. It's a good thing that your just a stupid fucking keyboard warrior who doesn't like it when people have opinions that differ from your own. People like you get there asses kicked in real life for talking shit for apparent no reason.
Michael Harness And on top of that, Diaz got suspended a year for smoking pot yet when your idol Mr. Jones snorts some coke you think he shouldn't be punished.
Michael Harness /Facepalm, who told you coke is allowed rofl??? Coke is NOT ALLOWED !!!He didnt get strippd because the drug was found on Dec 4th and so its considered out of comp as the effects of coke only last a day or two, unlike steroids., and thus this not a bannable offense. Had they found steroid in him he would have been banned at that time, that is true.
Had they found the coke in him on the drug test they do the day after the fight he would have been stripped and banned. This is how this works. Im just impressed that Jones can be so good while being a street drug abuser !Dec 4th would have meant he was in camp for the big fight, so he cant say it was offseason fun(but still considered out of comp by commission), he clearly was addicted. I think this also explains his massive personality shift. He has now gone rehab and promised to do better this year with training and drugs , i wish him the best. coincidentally im gonna give up coke(crack) too.If he can do it , i can too!
DC is such a classy guy. It's really tough to see him heartbroken like this. I'm sure he'll come back strong.
Cormier showed a tremendous amount of class. Really impressive and from the heart.
After seeing Cormier being so arrogant after beating Johnson and calling out Jon Jones... It's refreshing seeing Cormier crying after he got beat up by Jon Jones.
DG IG Telling a man to get his shit together so he can fight.him is arrogant? Hahahahahahahaha
Jon Jones Is The Goat he was talking about their 1st fight stupid
That was a cheeky move by Jones to throw up his hands in victory and then sneak in 2 solid falcon punches.
What is the song at the beginning when the Post Fight conference is loading? I need it haha
Cormier is a class act, love hearing him talk. Great fight. Keep your head up big guy!
Jon Jones literally challenged the calibur of AKA by challenging Cain Velasquez and coined him as A.K.A.'s premiere fighter, and topped it all off with Jackson/Winklejohn camp is superior to A.K.A. Cain do us all a favor and call out Jon Jones for the UFC HW title.
He has to defeat his injuries first.
TollFree999 nah, he really doesnt. He can go right now and beat Jones.
That would make my day. Cain or Alexander.
Jones at 225??? Cain would be in a world of trouble. but that fight will never happen...Cain would have to come down to 205.
Cain will lose to Werdum I promise you that.
Although he has made alot of bad choices... I miss Jones the fighter. HE was imo the Greatest. He would have gone down as the GOAT.
I hope he gets his life together and we see him in the Octagon again soon...
notmatthewb july 2017
big respect to DC. alot of things were involved in that, we'll never know cos we weren't in the ring but all i can say well done to both men, and DC, this is not the end.
Maaaaannnnn!!!!!! Been watching Cowboy from his beginnings in WEC and still he's amazing to watch and his post fight swagger is unmatched. Way to go Donald keep giving em hell and bringing that arsenal of skills.
Jones is changing into a cold faced killer..... I like it!
it was Jones you mentioned I think?
Daniel Cormier started crap....Jon Jones finished it. Why should Jon Jones give DC any respect after he lost if DC was disrespecting Jon Jones before that? Jon Jones doesn't just disrespect people out of nowhere. Has Jones acted that way in any of his previous 20 wins? No...think people and use discernment.
+Felix Chien "Expect whoever I fight next to have their hands full."
Even though it's a year later, I still believe him.
Respect for both
THIS GOAT TITLE IS THROWN AROUND SOOOOO MUCH WTF
We love you DC man! You'll be back!
That being said Jones is a true martial arts master.
At least Jones was consistent. DC was full of hate and disrespectful comments pre fight and now is crying like his lunch money got stolen again.
Jones executed the perfect fight plan. Fair play to him.
I thought Felder and Horiguchi looked great tonight.
@calvin Harris What don't you understand about the word consistent? And you feel the need to call people dumb!!! #keyboardwarrior
Did Cormier not call Jones a horrible human being and threaten to spit in his face?Jones remained consistent with his disrespect of Cormier post fight, Cormier showed a disingenuous side to him by not being consistent with his pre fight rhetoric in the press conference. I am not dumb just stating my opinion of the facts based on how I see them.
Someone should put together yall of the beef that they had from beginning to end that would be a good video
Jones is becoming great. But DC to me is probably the most humble fighter I have ever known. He doesn't make excuses and works on becoming better. Can't wait to see these two outstanding Athletes go at it again. Bless you both. And I'm happy I live in these times to see something as special as these two.
I am glad they got the bonuses too.
Humble? He said he would spit in JBJ face...did everyone forget the pre-fight shit slinging they both did? COME ON, dont feel sorry just because he lost and cried. At the end of the day the winner is the winner.
What wrong with seeing these fighters cry? When you spent all your life perfecting your craft and dedicating yourself to reach your ultimate goal of winning a title. Of course its hard when you lose. Champions cry. Its normal.
Nothin wrong with crying it just better to not talk trash before the fight otherwise if you lose you look really dumb
Fantastic eye poke by jones in the 3rd. He's hands down the best eye poker in the UFC.
great timing too
Yep that eye poke won him the fight.For sure!!!LOL dumb haters gonna hate
Drago ivanov After the eye poke the momentum changed from dc to jones
InfernoPhoenix100
yea DC couldn't see after the eye poke or DC won the first 2 rounds without eye pokes ?LOL even without it DC would lose the fight+ DC was making fun of Jones eye poke's in one video on facebook with Luke Rockhold so even Daniel didn't make excuse but his fans are crying like idiots..
If you watch that fight in 0.5 you will see dc ran into that hand.
these men put their lives on the line, not afraid of death, don't expect them to be polite and nice outside or inside the ring, this is fighting folks!
Both are warriors, and respect each other as that.
Bro DC started crying! The passion from that man is amazing!
I don't see what Jones did wrong at all honestly.. was it disrespectful? Yeah, I guess, but if you truly dislike a person why would you show respect towards him? What Jones did at the end of the fight to DC is not really surprising. Plus it's not like he did it after the bell rung. It was still during the fight, DC got caught slipping. It's his own fault.
Was is hard to watch DC broken like he was? Yes, I felt bad for the guy, but Jon Jones is absolutely right. If it was the other way around DC would've been talking mad shit at Jones and rubbing it in probably the whole press conference.
After all the hype, I'm glad it was a good fight; however this is the first time I felt myself starting to cry watching a UFC post-fight because of DC. I really felt for him and thought he was a great sportsman for being honest, showing respect and being complimentary of Jones skills, but I was disappointed in Jones attitude towards him at the end of the conference. On the other hand Jones comments are wise, philosophical, and confident, and it's frightening to realize his potential to get better. I am a fan of both fighters and do without doubt know the Jones is the best on the planet right now and will probably go down as the best of all time.
People kill me saying that Gus beat Jones... obviously Jones haters because Gus fought him like no one else, but ran out of steam at the end and started to run and almost got knocked out.
Anderson Silva is the greatest of all time because of the longevity of his run and the unique and entertaining way he dispatched opponents. John Jones is the greatest right now because of his record, heart, and level of opposition he's faced.
Warning for opponents in 2015! John says he studies and can absorb or inherit the skills of his competition:
SO RESISTANCE, IS FUTILE!
Aw man.. Right when I saw Cormier walk in it hurt to see him so depressed, made my stomach churn. Fuck it is so painful to see him try his best to not cry. He'll be back, I don't know how but, he will.
Just really sucks considering with all he's been through and his whole camp being there to support him.
I saw this fight live feed at a theater on the east coast. I became a "Jones" fan after watching highlights of his first title match years ago. Jon "The Bones" Jones is a terrific fighter; a True Champion; and is the Best example of what a warrior should be. Stay true to You Champ!
DC GOT A NICE SLICE OF HUMBLE PIE
Its one thing too take a Olympian wrestler down.its another when u beat a Olympian wrestler and undefeated fighter while on crack.jones is just that good
Best post fight talk ever
I'm a fan of both but one thing i can say is that " It has truly been an joy watching jones career unfold watching him grow as a fighter and as a man. Aside from ur personal feelings one thing we cant deny is when the cage door slams Jones BRINGS it!
JONES G.O.A.T
JON JONES IS THE GOAT HE OUT WRESTLED DC OWNED HIM
That was the best post fight press conference EVER in the UFC. Those were chilling responses spoken like a true warrior. I've never seen a champion be able to articulate his mentality about fighting so well.
He beat him at his own boring game. Cormier would've been hurt bad if Jones fought him at distance. Then he cries and the press applauds? After all that loud mouthing?
John's comments after he wept were priceless..."I don't feel sorry for him #This is Combat ".
I need to watch this fight again!
was "coffee" code for cocaine? I mean, he even seems jittery there. And when he said, "I dont want to mess up my system." hmmm
MrArmenian17 😂😂👀
Gutted for DC, but man jones is defiantly the P4P
Crying is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign he is a strong human. You have to be strong to show your emotions! Great fight!
People have no idea how long this guy dominated on sheer talent. Wasn't until he was already champ that he started taking training camps seriously.
Some bewildered kids, think that just because Jones was able to beat DC in a stunning fashion, that he will be able to beat Cain Valesquez, I would urge you to remove Jon's Semen off your eyes and start perceiving things differently. Cain Valesquez is a Cardio Monster, He is a better striker than Cormier. We saw how Cormier struggled with his conditioning in the last 2 rounds. He was exhausted and flustered. You won't have that kind of dilemma with Valesquez. He will put immense volume on Jones and will grind him near the cage. Jones is the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC, but lets not jump into conclusions. You can accredit Jones all you want, but don't lambaste and degrade Valesquez, becasue he is still the best fighter in UFC. The abundant strikes that he lands in every bout, in addition to his unprecedented conditioning and cardio, would make him the most menacing fighter on planet earth. Not to mention his sumptuous wrestling. Its tough to prepare for a guy like that. The same could be said about Jones. Jones is unpredictable with his unlimited set of skills and wiles in his arsenal. It would make up for the best fight in UFC'S history.
Wow Jon Jones actually didn't poke his opponent in the eye tonight. Oh wait never mind.
Cerrone has become my favorite fighter!even his boring fights are good! HOPE HE BECOMES CHAMPION!
I love how everyone has water in front of them, then Donald has bottles of bud. What an awesome guy !
Guess who just tested positive for cocaine...
Damn, love Jones as a fighter but as a person dude has no class.
I have no idea why but I’m here today watching this again
help, please. what did cowboy and jones mean when they said they were 4-0 tonight?
who else from their team fought tonight?
Jones haters are suicidal after this haha. Can't accept he really is a great fighter.
ElementKnows jelly troll
Jon Jones is mentally above and beyond most of these fighters. Period.....
you sure about that?
Really nice seeing Cormier being humble and respectful in defeat. Jones is just a monster that I believe is the best ever. Excited to see Cormier fight in the future.
This was the best post fight conference I've seen in a long time. Jon Jones has matured big time. Serious business, big money Fight. UFC 182 main event lived up to the hype. Bones Jones and Daniel Cormier put on one hell of a show-
Take a close look at Jons belt... you can see on the left side the fake gold metal is pealing off from the glue...
ok...
It's about the significance of the belt ,I can buy a rural belt but it would be worth squat. lots of fake trophies in all sports
23:33 "no I don't want to mess up my system" 23:37 "I drew energy from the fans"
Really nigga? "wshh voice"
I wonder how many grams of energy the fans gave him
There's nothing that suggest he was on cocaine during the fight. You need to relax, hypelord. I'm not even a big Jones fan, but people like you make me like him more.
when jon talks about his wrestling career getting cut short and what he could've been that may just be an analogy for his mma career.
Cerrone is so great because he is so critical of himself. Really loving this guy--
Yee haw!
Jones takedown DC many times
you should respect jon jones for what he's been able to do for the sport. pound for pound in the world
Hector at welterweight looks like a Heavyweight. especially that jumper under shirt he's wearing.
He is the best, an will be the best for a long time
after that bloody eye poke cormier changed and the fight went in a different direction..this usually happens after an eye poke I ve noticed...
He was on coke for the fight to help him against Cormier!!! Jon CHEATED!!!!
Holy fuck I feel bad for DC. Stay strong man. I hope he goes back to the camp and really dedicates himself to striking.
Being a DC fan, this fight was a heartbreaker. I can imagine DC's frustration at trying to overcome the sheer amount of leverage JJ has in his length. I could see it was near impossible to get underneath his center of gravity. Honestly, this fight and the words spoken afterward, makes me respect Jones more. He clearly does have the work ethic and maturity it takes to be a champion. I may not have liked Jones up to this point, because of his immaturity and disrespect, but I can see he is changing into someone I can commend. I may never root for him, but I'll respect his abilities.
Like an article said, he really is a once-in-a-generation talent. He is the perfect storm of genetics, hard work, and an ever-gaining skillset. People can ignore that, but it's true.
Cowboy literally kicked that guys ass!
Felt bad for DC, Jones seems so undeserving. Even when Jones tried to come off has humble and classy with his responses, I have seen enough of his press, and his interviews through the years to see through his bullshit.
Compare Cormier's pre-fight interviews, and his post-fight interviews....just marvel at the attitude change!!!!
Through 3 rounds, before DC ran out of gas, he was actually neck and neck in punches landed with Jones. I'd even argue that DC hurt Jones more than he hurt DC. It's pretty amazing to see DC's face look rather untouched after the fight. It shows how good DC was in the standup, but Jones' body shots and DC running out of gas was bascially the fight.
Jon Jones tougher then what yall think u have to put work in everything he adapted to Cormier beat him at his own game
YA JONES OUT WRESTLED DC STUFFED HES TAKE DOWNS JONES IS THE GOAT
GamerGirlBarbieDoll Vixen I dont call ppl goat till there career over with he not goat yet
Thought Jon Jones was a complete arsehole leading up to and after the fight, but still you can't argue with his fighting ability
Theres just no stoping this guy, pure beast
Burkman really brought it to Lombard he shocked me,burkman is definitely still very relevant in the welterweight division
RUMBLE IS COMING. Also, Jones will not fair well in the heavyweight, he has no KO power.
Rumble would gas out against Jones,Alex can do it again,only him.
***** It's their second fight, I don't think it would go the way it did the first time. But I think you might be right about Rumble gassing out early
mmm
Pen Wednesday u sure about that
Where are the DC nuthuggers now? Do you guys realise that nobody except for Gus will beat Jon Jones? But dont worry. The viking will do it in 215. Just Witness. Takedowns in Jones vs Cormier: about 5-1, Gus vs Jones: 1-1 with endless number of approaches by Jones. THE VIKING IS COMING FOR YOU MR JONES.
I sure hope he brings down Jones.
Only problem with Gus vs Jones is that it brings out the filthy racist ''fans'' for some stupid, unknown reason. (especially the nordic-centric racists)
AJ will slay the vicunt
17:40, you can tell by the inflection in his voice, Cormier just finished a 5 round fight and a nice long cry.
Well JBJ did again, great fight but DC I applaud you on being a class act that takes guts especially after the trash talking that went on, that showed what type of man u are you'll be back without a question, JBJ is the best out there period!!!!!
come back stronger from this DC. you'll get that belt!
hard now,he'll need 2-3 fights to get the shot again and those would be 2-3 hard fights.one has to go back and get that same drive back for those other opponents,I don't think he can,Guss can but I don't think DC can.
true, it will take him probably a year or two to get back. i believe in him. yeah i think guss is the one that can beat jones. and johnson looks just as dangerous too.

Johnson is easy solvable riddle for Jones,would most prob gas out and JJ would finish him in later rounds.as it stands only Alex can defeat JJ again.
Yes Jon gets the win but it wasn't in spectacular fashion like most claimed JJ would do. It was a good match that went the distance. Hats off to JJ for the win but at the end was a very douche bag move by JJ. The bell wasn't over and he put his hands up like it rang. DC out of respect lets go of his leg and JJ turns and punches DC. I mean WTF dude? If you wanna put your hands up and celebrate early, do it! DC let go of your leg but don't turn around and punch him cause you realize the bell didn't completely rang. I take nothing from JJ as a fighter but his character is trash. No class and he knows it. Exactly the type of fighter that will land hard when he falls. In ordered to be remembered as a great fighter, its not just how you perform in the ring but also how you display your character.
I agree entirely.
@Thee Engineer. I wonder if all those ALI fans NOW felt the same way back when ALI was fighting? I'm sure ppl said much worse things about him. But now that time has passed and ppl stop judging him based on their personal feelings Ali is considered " THE GREATEST" Just like he said back then and everyone was saying he's so arrogant and "That BOY" needs 2 have his mouth shut. Now what does jones do (outside of beat ur fav fighter) that causes u 2 dislike him in the ring? How u feel about him outside of the ring matters NONE. But from what i've see his whole career is that inside the ring he does exactly what u want a champ 2 do and be. Young talented and driven. And with youth u tend 2 make mistakes. Remember jones is only what 25-26? Didn't we all make mistakes at that age? When did we become PERFECT and stopped smelling our OWN ish? And i can ASSURE u when its all said and done and we go over his career HE WILL BE REMEMBERED and mentioned with the Greats past present and future. Jon Jones is THE REAL DEAL. Give that man his respect in the RING.
MrAddidas2 Sorry bud. As a fighter sure he gets a thumbs up for that but no way in hell am I vouching for him as the greatest. NO WAY. Unless he cleans up his acts he's yet to be held in my eyes as the greatest. My requirement as a great fighter is my own personal standard. Its just my opinion. To me a great fighter never fakes his personality to win over the heart of the fans and then act like a douche when he thinks he's off camera. If you wanna be the greatest then please act accordingly. This is just my opinion but Fedor stands for what it means to be a great fighter. Doesn't talk smack about people and takes care of his business in the cage. Regardless of whether his record beats Jones is irrelevant. Fedor is in my eyes one of the greatest.
"Hands down, Man Down". Fight until the bell rings or the ref stops it. DC was defeated before the fight was officially over.
Thee Engineer oh boy, then I will have to check out Fedor
This is what this sport is about. Skill, battle, heart, grind, and emotion. I leave this fight with more respect for both men. Very hard to see DC so upset. He's just a good, honest guy and doesn't mix his words. Says where he's at for real. I say DC takes loser of Rumble and Gus?
Jon is becoming a real badass,love his fighting mind
