Do you guys really believe what he says, about not winning or doing well in the championship rounds because Cain wasnt there to push him? Personally i dont really think it wouldve made a difference. Yes he was doing well in the first 3 rounds but either way Jones was pretty much controlling him and doing whatever he wanted.
He was clearly out of shape, and the first thing I thought was Cain isn't there to push him
I guess I look at it more like him trying to rationalize the loss. He wants to be the best so excepting someone is better isn't easy.
He could have beat Jones, but it wasn't happening that night.

I cant tell if you are joking or not lol.
I can understand that Cain probably pushes him real hard, but DC couldnt get any wrestling going and he wasnt exactly fucking Jones up in the clinch either. He def got some good shots in no doubt about that but i just thought Jones pretty much controlled the fight.
I think Jones won the psychological war preceding the fight which took enough out of cormier and caused him to fade.
That and the body shots. if you watch the mir fight, cormier faded after he took body shots. Some guys can take great shots to the chin but cant take body shots so well (like BJ Penn).

Tito ortiz also comes to mind, he doesnt take body shots well either.
I also think Jon was in his head the whole way through. Either way i just dont see how DC could ever beat Jones if he cant take him down.
DC needed Cain.
Jon needed caine.
Even before the fight I thought Cain not being in his camp would have an effect.
Hmmm seems most think Cain couldve played a huge part. Well we will def get to see another fight with DC and Jones because for the most part DC can wrestle fuck anyone in the LHW division besides Jones.
Cain will hopefully not be hurt again and actually defend his title and maybe start training with DC again.
stevekt - DC needed Cain.Voted up
Jon needed caine.
