DC was a killer from the start

DC took five fights in his first year as a pro and finished them all in the 1st including a win over Tony Johnson ( just beat Volkov, wins over Sylvia, Garner, and Derrick Lewis).

DC finished Soa Palelei in just his 6th pro fight and 14th month as a pro.

DC beat Jeff Monson in his 8th pro fight when he had not even been fighting pro for two full years.

In his 9th pro fight and only 2 years into his pro career, DC KO'ed Bigfoot Silva who had just beat some guy named Fedor.

In his third and fourth years as a pro he be former UFC heavyweight champions Mir and Barnett. Also beat Nelson.

In his fifth and sixth year as a pro he dropped down to LHW and got wins over Cummins and former two division Pride champ Henderson before losing a close fight to Jones (arguably the GOAT).

Bounced right back and beat top LHW's Johnson and Gustafsson.

He could have been the UFC heavy weight champ if not for Cain being a friend. Phone Post 3.0

Cormier is one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up gloves in the octagon and would have best the brakes off most of the previous HW and LHW champs. Phone Post 3.0

That wasn't the question or argument. It was that DC is a killer, and he is. Carry on. Phone Post 3.0

DC is incredible. At 36 years old he is improving and improving. As long as he can fight and push a fight the way that he did last night... He's only going to get better and better... More and more dangerous Phone Post 3.0

DC is an absolute beast....   Jones is a beast.   They both had similar starts with a bunch of fights.  I think Jones was like 7-0 in 6 months as a pro and the fought Bonnar. 



Either way, none of that matters until they fight again.  Can't wait.

No doubt DC is a monster and always was. You dont get to the Olympics being a slouch, the dude is just a stud. Im actually a little happy that Jones fucked up again and got stripped and Cormier got to take the belt, he deserves it with all hes been through. And fuck people who say its a "fake" belt or whatever. Jones beat himself and lost the belt to himself. He was/is gone from the sport and DC is the champ.

Still think Jones has his number when he comes back, but really wish the best for DC and hope hes stacking his money now.
