This is a dude that has lost exactly ONE fight, to Jon Jones. Prior to that, he was undefeated, including fighting undersized at heavyweight against guys like Josh Barnett and Antonio Silva. Not to mention absolutely manhandling Dan Henderson on the ground their entire fight. The dude is legit.

Don't really know how you can justify Gus getting a title shot coming off an ass whupping...I would think he an Bader would fight and the winner gets a shot.

I wish Weidman would get nutso and fight some at 205...

I just don't get the DC hate. Yeah, he's a wrestler which isn't as fun to watch as a striker, and yeah he talked a lot of shit about Jones and lost, but come on. DC did a lot of impressive shit before he threw Rumble around tonight, it wouldn't be weird to think that maybe he learned something from his fight with Bones and would perhaps beat him next time.

He's a legit fighter. He's also a gigantic douche.

And Jones isn't? If we're judging fighters off of personality, Jones leads the pack in douchiness, and apparently he's up there in irresponsibility as well.

Jones is a POS but at least he was a true champion. There is a difference in my book between champions and guys that have held the belt.

I believe that DC could beat Jones. He did not beat Jones last time because he did not have the correct camp and plan for him, but you seem to be writing him off as some random scrub, when in reality DC has previously been dominating good fighters.

I don't completely disagree here. There's certainly a little bit of a cloud over this whole situation. We see Cormier with the belt, but we all know how things went down. Kinda sucks, but it's Jon's own fault that Cormier is walking around with his belt right now. So, oh well.
