Cormier already got the pass for doing that to Mir, why shouldn't Jones for doing it to Cormier? The difference is Mir is a guy who historically gets wrecked against the cage and Cormier is a guy who was supposed to "son" Jones if they ever clinched up.
Bobby Lupo - Being fit to fight for the duration of the match you're signed for is a matter of being a professional. You don't come into a championship fight with 3 rounds of cardio after 6 months of shit talk.Could've been a number of things. Jon did work on his belly w/ those body strikes and considering DC was so tense an adrenaline dump isn't out of the question either.
He let the fans down by showing up unprepared. It should have been an epic fight for the ages. It was close through 3, then Jones put on a wrestling, striking and clinching clinic for the final 2 rounds
DC mentioned in the post fight that Jones' early knee to the body in the first affected him the rest of the fight. Props to Jones' for continuing to target that rib area the rest of the fight. 
MattBFD - DC definitely seemed too tired to fight off the hug-attack. But, if Jones was dominating him so bad everywhere, why was he content to hold him on the cage? Why wouldn't he go for the finish? Maybe he was tired of eating uppercuts?
Are you serious? Can JBJ do anything to satisfy the likes of you?
Didn't DC basically say that if winning meant a boring wall and stall fight then so be it?
DC was outmatched but by no means was he not dangerous still.
iwatchsomemma -That's kind of my point though. People are acting like Jones w s was to prove a point or show dominance or something, but no one seems to be giving DC credit for the fact that he took the fight out of Jon as well, with his boxing.MattBFD - DC definitely seemed too tired to fight off the hug-attack.

MattBFD - DC was battering him so bad on the feet, that he turned Jones into a wall n stall fighter. I'm surprised that anyone thought that was an impressive performance by Jones.
I saw a guy getting beat, running out of ideas and grabbing on. I wonder if DC will mention this.
Hey look, someone went full retard. Jones looked like a fucking genius in there while handling an olympian(the guy who was supposed to throw Jones on his head and destroy him with his wrestling) in the clinch like it was nothing.
I guess DC is overrated now, Barnett sucks, Bigfoot blows, Hendo blows... That's how things usually change with these Jones fights

Hyperbole?
Jones outstruck and outwrestled Daniel Cormier and beat him 4 rounds to 1, the guy who had lost 1 round in his MMA career.
Jones said over a week ago that he will try to wrestle with Cormier, but I guess you are right, he was just so damaged and scared so he decided to beat DC at his own game.
Ps. Funniest thing is that what Jones did in the clinch is what DC was supposed to do to Jones(a'la Frank Mir fight) and DC would've been aplauded by his great clinch control.
Shame I can't post ppv gifs, would've been awesome to see Bones clinch throw DC and son him

Jones even mentioned taking some of that from watching Cormier/Mir and beating guys at their own game. Both were tired in r 5 and I think there maybe could have been 1 clinch break I'm 5 but I liked hoe dean let the fighters fight it out themselves!
And yes Mir is weak in the clinch and dc was supposed to dominate jones in the clinch. Funny how things turn out and are unacknowledged.

You mean how jones came back to turn it up after supposedly having the fight taken out of him? DC even admitted Jones came back like a champ

Before fight: jones is gonna get schooled by a real wrestler!
After fight: dc was so badass he made jones out wrestle him!

Its not a marathon, there is more variables in a fight that will sap your energy and stamina more than other sports.
I think the teeps to the belly had him tired in the first. Its not like you can train in a way that you will be fot for 5 rounds no matter what happens. Thats completely impossible. If he was fighting another fighter he could have been busy for 5 rounds but Jones sapped his strength
Hard to just "try" when the stamina has been kicked out of you
