DC was an Olympic wrestler...Jon was taller, which should've given DC an advantage in an area he dominated nearly ever person he ever fought. Jon is that good. That not even an Olympian can take him down.
To be honest man if DC was younger the outcome would be the same. Can’t out strike Jon or even out wrestle him 🤷🏾♂️ Jones IQ is also higher man Jones is more durable & jones is stronger and more agile has more IQ and still had more weapons in his arsenal DC would probably get knocked out in the first fight against Jones if he was younger tbh
The amazing thing was how Jones set that headkick up. He attacked the body a lot in this fight with body shots, kicks and knees. Even with that headkick, he was initially looking at DC's body which is what threw DC off as he moved his arms to block a body kick which left his head wide open. Jones is an incredibly creative and dangerous fighter with physical gifts but his fight IQ is what sets him apart from everyone!
hes just too good. if you watch it unbiased hes insanely good. at fighting, he never throw an emotional punch or like, get into a brawl, its all pure technique.
It was such poetry to see Cormier be the aggressor, pressing forward offensively the entire match, only to get caught with a defensive kick, which subsequently forced Cormier to retreat, stumbling in the final seconds. He went from the hunter to the hunted with one fell swoop.
Jon's technical striking ability is absolutely unbelievable, the way he picks his shots and strategically wears you down is so good to watch, very clever
Whatever you say man. BUT still this fight was the most satisfying loss of DC. I can watch this over and over and over and over and still the gratification and satisfaction of DC losing to JJ is unending...

Too right. It's the constant feints while his head is spinning, that ankle kick causing him to spin, then that flying knee. Horrifically stressful. That'd still be a lot to deal with for anyone with all their faculties.
DC's boxing looked so good in this fight. It was impressive how he was able to close the distance and land good punches with a considerable height and reach disadvantage. Ultimately this fight came down to JJ's IQ. Jones was losing the fight but making reads and setting traps throughout the bout.
So impressive to see John act that way in the end. He felt sorrow for DC all he could look at was him after the fight and you can see in johns eyes he was also heartbroken. Very sportsmanlike
I hate Jones with a passion, but yeah. I agree. You could legit see him feel genuine sorrow and maybe even a little bit of regret for how he acted (despite DC also going at Jon’s neck). He has a ton of bad moments, and he may be poised as a sociopath, but I really do think that deep down inside Jones is a good man.
He didn't fucking care trust me. DC is a great humble guy and forgave JJ but JJ still taunts DC over the years just like he did when he was mocking DC when he cried after Miocic's fight. He's a psycho. The thing is when Jones will considerate himself too weak to continue, he'll retire cause he is smart, I think he doesn"t want the fight against Ngannou.
@@sebastianoflament9012 john gave him respect and gave him credit where it was due at the interview in the octagon. At the end of the day that shows he cared. If he didn’t care he wouldn’t have left joe Rogan and walked over to hug and commend DC for all he’s done. He tanks him for being his biggest motivation in rivalry. Cmon man that’s true sportsmanship
True fighters realize that there is such glory in winning, but they also realize such agony in losing and many are able to recognize that agony in a defeated opponent even in the midst of celebrating victory.
Honestly both one of their best fights and the love for the game at the end was beautiful when that kick to end it was literally as brutal as it cudve been
@@nft3 Funny that Cormier had no problems beating Bigfoot and Barnett in Strikeforce. Jon was as horrible a matchup for DC as you could possibly find. Deal with it. .
@@michaelpryor78 You must me proud of yourself to defend a cheater. Perhaps you're a one? Deal with it. Some other way. Your comment has zero value because one is a cheater, means has illegal and huge advantage in terms of strength, strength in training, etc. You can talk nonsense about bad matchup, but you have nothing in practice to back it up.
@@nft3 Acting like Jon wouldn't be champ material without them is nonsensical. Anyone who says this simply doesn't know what they're looking at. His technical skills are on another level, and his length/reach makes him extremely troublesome to deal with. Steroids play no role in that nor his ability to utilize his length to land a head kick. If you want to be a steroid puritan, then watch another sport. Guys are on them. It's professional cage fighting and there are ways to get away with it. People just have a double standard and point the finger at Jon. With the possible exceptions of Silva and Dillashaw, almost everyone else who was juicing gets a free pass with the fans because they weren't as successful.
DC was winning this fight and what a performance he showed that night those uppercuts and hooks are was just so perfect if only he could countered that kick... DC was one of the greatest mma fighter ever lived.
Whatever you say man. BUT still this fight was the most satisfying loss of DC. I can watch this over and over and over and over and still the gratification and satisfaction of DC losing to JJ is unending...
DC has always been a force to be reckoned with when he lands a punch - doesn’t even have to be perfect - you know it’s making the opponent regret being there! He’s such a warrior and a brick wall he takes and takes and keeps it going! Legend 🙌🏼
Jones is incredible but I’m even more impressed with DC in this matchup, even though he lost. The fact that DC competed so well with Jones, despite Jones’ significant physical advantages, is so cool to me
@@Rome6601 He was also losing btw If you actually look at the statistical output. Jon was winning 2-1 In actuality, while outlanding and outstriking DC while not trying to over telegraph the majority of his strikes attempted that he missed, which DC threw more, whilst not backing down. He really wanted to beat Jon. However while DC Is a legend, Jon Jones as other legends like Demetrious Johnson have admitted In the past, Is the GOAT. DCs the better man obviouslyh, but Jon was always and will forever be the better fighter.
The head kick that essentially ended it was so damn quick. DC was open for just a split second and Jon fired it with rapid precision. And Cormier almost blocked it... almost. These two champs are the highest level possible at 205. I don't think Jan, Jiri, Glover or any 205er could beat either Jon or DC at their prime.
The little leg sweep there that completely sent DC off balance was a thing of beauty, absolutely surgical. When fighters get rocked or are wobbly, the opponent often just thinks about landing those key follow-up shots to the head and go head hunting or for a takedown to secure the advantage. But when guys are a little out of it, a simple kick to the leg or foot sweep is super effective because they are trying to find their feet and regain their senses...so moves that normally wouldn't mess them up can send them tripping backwards onto themselves...and give you that surefire advantage you were looking for after rocking them.
@@jamesdoyle3483 I've never looked up what DC said about it, plus I am not passing it off as some great knowledge. As a fan, it was just an extremely slick move to see...every time I re-watch this KO, Jones sliding that move in there almost without thinking about it is always the most impressive part. I don't care if anyone finds that to be a "high fight IQ" take or not.
You see see DC's face right after the leg sweep to send him spinning. You can tell he didn't know what just happened, he was expecting head strikes and had no idea what sent him spinning

Man this was a great fight. I thought DC looked good but JBJ is so long. Also such great fight IQ. DC said that a really smart thing JBJ did at the end to finish him was after he was dazed, JBJ kicked out his leg so he would spin. Being dizzy already, this added to it and he fell. He couldn't grapple or grab legs to recover

Just rewatched the fight and I have to point out one thing that went missing here. The way he threw that knee by grabbing DCs hands and pushing against them in order to make cormier push back and open himself up and even leverage himself into his knee was just so great I can't describe it really. Also how he just redirected the other hand and pushed on the lead hand at the same time to create that beautiful opening. That's prime jones right there.
@@Rhymezny im aware. Whos landed clean on him not named gustaffson? Hes never been wobbled. In the santos and reyes fights they landed clean on his guard, never his head.
Yea DC saw a knee and went to grab it. Jones used a karate kick, knee up, then extended the leg to a high head kick. Bones jones would still win today but at heavyweight I'm not sure.
The fact they touched gloves says everything. If you really hate someone, you ain't touching their gloves. They don't like each other, but they respect each other, highly.
@iammyownnemisis if DC was 6 ft he would made jones look like an idiot in there. DC just couldn’t get close enough to Jones without getting kicked in the knees or stomach. DC at 6 ft would have been able to take Jones down and seriously put a bad beating on a jones in the stand up. We saw whenever dc was able to get close, he landed on jones, and rocked him. Now imagine he didn’t have to cover a foot of distance to hit jones. Dc would have knocked jones head to the moon.
@@ItsReplayBro loser can't defeat loss 😂. ... I respect DC but jones is a fucking beast he didn't even bleed.. no one come close to jones in UFC.. even ur idol khabiba won't last a round against jones... He is a fucking savage ..don't blame on his size . He have the power precious the iq .. watch closely see how good his fighting iq was... He is so technical the way jones makes combo.. damn good .... He is incomparable.. jones didn't just fight.... Jones just dominate in the octagon every fucking fighter. THE GOAT
The leg kick after the head kick was a thing of beauty. DC's head is already spinning from the head kick and then he get's it even worse when the leg kick spun him around and completely messed up his equilibrium. Art of Fighting.
That’s how all the greats look. Musicians. Athletes. Politicians. When someone is an expert the shit they expertise in moves in slow motion compared to others
@@NicoVanderwerwe how? Daniel Cormier only lost to Stipe at heavyweight when he was 40 years old and Jones beat his ass twice. Jones is a better wrestler than anyone at heavyweight (yes, including Blaydes,) has marginally better fight IQ than anyone, has a longer reach than anyone and uses it better than anyone, and can also strike with pretty much anybody alive. Francis Ngannou ragdolled Ciryl Gane and Francis is not even 10% of the wrestler Jones is.
Jones setup that head kick beautifully. The first two rounds he was digging to the body and then…BANG, DC dipped into it. Similar scenario to Usman and Edwards.
@@afkardhiyaulhaq5882 he coulda actually surgically removed it but yeah its just extra fat you can't get rid of but yeah just more pounds but I think he would be the perfect. middle weight
Whatever you say man. BUT still this fight was the most satisfying loss of DC. I can watch this over and over and over and over and still the gratification and satisfaction of DC losing to JJ is unending...
Love the quote from Cormier earlier in the week where he says something like "I know I have some bad tendencies, and you're not going to catch me with a headkick. It will be corrected by then"
Im pretty sure that was before the first fight, but its scary how accurate it was, "You won't catch me with a left leg, and kick me in the head" or something
I feel like the most fascinating thing about Jones' striking is the awkward timing. Most fighters have a rhythm they strike with, whether theyre throwing combos or just single shots. Jon seems to throw punches with weird timing, though, effectively disrupting any flow or rhythm his opponents might enter
Just about every strike comes immediately after some kind of feint or other deceptive motion. He's just so smooth with them too, probably really hard to read in the ring
You never know what weapon of his arsenal is coming either like it could be a kick to the knee, body or head, or a spinning elbow, jab, knee to body etc.
This is literally the greatest FIGHT OF ALL TIME TO WARRIORS THAT CAN GO ANY WEIGHT CLASS. We witnessed the very best ever. This is the highest level of a real fight you will ever see to date. Simply amazing. I literally watch this yearly
I feel like deep down Jones isn't trying too beat his opponent, It seems like he's trying too really kill him not just beat them. Killer Instinct too brutally beat someone is one thing, but Jon is just using everything possible too utterly destroy his opponents. And its amazing.
With all the beef and hate Jones and DC had for each other they still touched gloves before each fight , that goes a long way with respect in the fight world Still hurts seeing DC cry like that
The rage, the anger & the whole thing behind this fight made DC stressful and furious and somehow hesitates It's way different than the 1st fight, JJ prime was a BEAST
Jon's whole strategy was to set up for that head kick even though DC fought well over the first two rounds and arguably won them...he was hitting him with leg kicks and body kicks to condition DC to defend those kicks to he can leave his head open for that kick .

Im not suprised that only guys that have beat izzy have been the ones with similar reach
This is the fight that got me into ufc. What a classic
Just rewatched the fight and I have to point out one thing that went missing here. The way he threw that knee by grabbing DCs hands and pushing against them in order to make cormier push back and open himself up and even leverage himself into his knee was just so great I can't describe it really. Also how he just redirected the other hand and pushed on the lead hand at the same time to create that beautiful opening. That's prime jones right there.
Jons defense is so, SO criminally underrated. He NEVER gets hurt, dude may be the greatest defensive fighter ever
Defense = ability to avoid hits.
Chin = ability to take hits.
@@Rhymezny im aware. Whos landed clean on him not named gustaffson? Hes never been wobbled. In the santos and reyes fights they landed clean on his guard, never his head.
@@lunatik383 I'm a big fan of Jon's defence.. but even in this fight he gets hit plenty? Did you watch the video you're commenting on😂
@@lunatik383 just in these highlights dc landed a few uppercuts and a pretty heavy overhand right
His defense is amazing when fighting guys much shorter than himself.
When he fights guys more his size .. Gus, Reyes ... he gets hit ... a lot.
Love that dirty boxing tactic by Cormier, dude's a true fighter.
He's punches are so accurate.
Truly a dirty fighter
DC Punching on the inside was great. His wrestling solid too.
Love watching both of em.
That leg kick/sweep when DC was off balance might be the single most brilliant moment of fight IQ I've seen fr
That kick was crazy. You would think DC could defend the kick but it’s so swift that it was over after that.
It’s cuz Jon was that oblique kick so dc was expecting that but Jon went high
Yea DC saw a knee and went to grab it. Jones used a karate kick, knee up, then extended the leg to a high head kick. Bones jones would still win today but at heavyweight I'm not sure.
DC messed up he was combing JJ legs for hair instead of trying to block it, watch in slow mo, no one block a kick like that..... it was a fail block.
@@djnone8137 👀
@@CJ-ui9zo lol he can t be touched cant be stopped came to get krunk lol
The fact they touched gloves says everything. If you really hate someone, you ain't touching their gloves. They don't like each other, but they respect each other, highly.
That trip after the head kick was so smart jon picks his moves like a chess player he’s incredible to watch
This was such an awesome fight. Two incredible fighters.
Man DC was doing so good up until that kick landed
Yup, same as Kamaru until the kick landed
si que lastima
DC would've got his ass handed to him anyway. No one beats Bones NO ONE😤💪🏿
@iammyownnemisis if DC was 6 ft he would made jones look like an idiot in there. DC just couldn’t get close enough to Jones without getting kicked in the knees or stomach. DC at 6 ft would have been able to take Jones down and seriously put a bad beating on a jones in the stand up. We saw whenever dc was able to get close, he landed on jones, and rocked him. Now imagine he didn’t have to cover a foot of distance to hit jones. Dc would have knocked jones head to the moon.
@@ItsReplayBro loser can't defeat loss 😂. ... I respect DC but jones is a fucking beast he didn't even bleed.. no one come close to jones in UFC.. even ur idol khabiba won't last a round against jones... He is a fucking savage ..don't blame on his size . He have the power precious the iq .. watch closely see how good his fighting iq was... He is so technical the way jones makes combo.. damn good .... He is incomparable.. jones didn't just fight.... Jones just dominate in the octagon every fucking fighter.
THE GOAT
The knees to the body were so powerful throughout the whole fight damn what a fight miss these big fights
Jako vrijedni pozitivni svaka cast tako i ostali. Dince video znaci boli glava svaka cast hvala od ❤.
The leg kick after the head kick was a thing of beauty. DC's head is already spinning from the head kick and then he get's it even worse when the leg kick spun him around and completely messed up his equilibrium. Art of Fighting.
Jones is so loose when he is fighting...it's like he is seeing everything out there. Phenomenal!
That’s how all the greats look. Musicians. Athletes. Politicians. When someone is an expert the shit they expertise in moves in slow motion compared to others
I haven't seen anyone like him since.
PED's actually increase your reaction time . GSP explains this on joe rogan podcast
@@dukenukem7043 true, Jones did steroids for this fight, hence it’s a no contest.
@@truthtyperii7727 No its actually a clear win for jones, same as the first fight :)
I’ve never saw anybody so good at everything in UFC history like Jon Jones, crazy how lethal he was
Yeah, and so strong with roids Cormier couldn't even attempt to take him down having caught juicer's leg.
Yeah dc got bullied here so bad

The way jones trips DC is just masterful 👌🏿🔥
Just watched dc say the same in a interview
I liked DC's trip of Jones too
Like a lion catching his prey
Nigga you watched the interview with yo fake ass lmao
It's like we all heard DC say that, yet you commented it! BRILLIANT WORK
This has got to be the toughest opponent that Jon Jones has faced considering how little damage the other opponents did to him
@@NicoVanderwerwe Jones vs stipe is happening at ufc 282
@@Sefoosofo only in your dreams
Watch jones vs Alexander Gustafsson 1st fight
@@NicoVanderwerwe how? Daniel Cormier only lost to Stipe at heavyweight when he was 40 years old and Jones beat his ass twice. Jones is a better wrestler than anyone at heavyweight (yes, including Blaydes,) has marginally better fight IQ than anyone, has a longer reach than anyone and uses it better than anyone, and can also strike with pretty much anybody alive. Francis Ngannou ragdolled Ciryl Gane and Francis is not even 10% of the wrestler Jones is.
@@NicoVanderwerwe This didn't age well 😬
Jon showed his humble and mercy in final episode. Respect , you are a good man.
Jones setup that head kick beautifully. The first two rounds he was digging to the body and then…BANG, DC dipped into it. Similar scenario to Usman and Edwards.
The difference in DCs physique here is crazy. Looks like a tank at LHW.
he looked good at lhw, crazy how a guy his size fought against monsters
His frame is actually built for big welterweight or small middleweight, the man just got so much fat and thick muscle under it.
@@afkardhiyaulhaq5882 he coulda actually surgically removed it but yeah its just extra fat you can't get rid of but yeah just more pounds but I think he would be the perfect. middle weight
@@lonewolf_0073 Imagine DC at middleweight, the guy would be unstoppable. This guy is rag-dolling giants like they are nothing.
He's fat even at lhw. He can easily cut down to middleweight
Great fight. Just now getting into MMA so I’ve been binge watching all your videos. Thanks for all the content man you’re a beast
You can religiously watch jon jones fights every morning and not get tired of it
Jon made it seem like he telegraphed the kick to the body with the eyes and just went up top. Daniel went to block down low and got caught. Brilliant.
Best fight I've seen in a long time
Jon is truely breathtaking to watch, Such a unique fighter. Best to ever do it
Tested + for PEDs= not the GOAT. They know when their tests are and he still got caught. Juicer.
3:11 how strong does he have to be to do that to Jones?
Explains why John took steroids
Love that at the end. That was so cool for him to give props to DC.
“You won’t ko me with the left leg ” 😂
He still had the wherewithal to evade the first few strikes after the kick. That’s impressive. DC is a beast.
Whatever you say man. BUT still this fight was the most satisfying loss of DC. I can watch this over and over and over and over and still the gratification and satisfaction of DC losing to JJ is unending...
JJ literally has the perfect body for MMA
Also Adesanya
yeah thats why he uses steroids huh? LOLOLO
@@gnarly2165 he probably used steroids cause he’s a full blown narcissist and his whole self image revolves around being a champ
Woulda been better if he had more pop in his punches. He can take some extra juice tho lol
@Dedrick Gobert yeah I think having all of ur muscle concentrated in your torso + having an extremely long reach is perfect
Seeing this match is giving goosebumps how much body shots and kicks both are inhuman
As long as you never quit (epo) it's never over
Love the quote from Cormier earlier in the week where he says something like "I know I have some bad tendencies, and you're not going to catch me with a headkick. It will be corrected by then"
Im pretty sure that was before the first fight, but its scary how accurate it was, "You won't catch me with a left leg, and kick me in the head" or something
Caught him with the front BOW
dc is a absolute fucking legend.. most people dont know what it takes to fight someone like jon jones despite that huge reach disadvantage

3:58 the historical moment right here 🔥 💪🏾
Even with the rivalry they still touch gloves like True martial artists. Awesome
the way DC figured out how to get hits with jones height advantage was way too cool
I feel like the most fascinating thing about Jones' striking is the awkward timing. Most fighters have a rhythm they strike with, whether theyre throwing combos or just single shots. Jon seems to throw punches with weird timing, though, effectively disrupting any flow or rhythm his opponents might enter
It’s called telegraph punching her does not great but he does it why it’s weird
Just about every strike comes immediately after some kind of feint or other deceptive motion. He's just so smooth with them too, probably really hard to read in the ring
check jiri prochazka if u want to see random punches without timing and still effective
You never know what weapon of his arsenal is coming either like it could be a kick to the knee, body or head, or a spinning elbow, jab, knee to body etc.

That kiss on the back of DC's head melted my heart. In the end, everything stays in the ring.
This is literally the greatest FIGHT OF ALL TIME TO WARRIORS THAT CAN GO ANY WEIGHT CLASS. We witnessed the very best ever. This is the highest level of a real fight you will ever see to date. Simply amazing. I literally watch this yearly
1:44 he did the same move on teixeira fight. Glover said he almost broke his elbow. That guy is nasty.
malicious technique
I feel like deep down Jones isn't trying too beat his opponent, It seems like he's trying too really kill him not just beat them. Killer Instinct too brutally beat someone is one thing, but Jon is just using everything possible too utterly destroy his opponents.
And its amazing.
That trip. Was ruthless
That ground n pound was brutal asf 😂
Facts 😂
Honestly, this belongs in the top 3 greatest professional fights of all time.
4:32 just noticed what jon does with his hands before that sweep, toying with his food
With all the beef and hate Jones and DC had for each other they still touched gloves before each fight , that goes a long way with respect in the fight world
Still hurts seeing DC cry like that
The rage, the anger & the whole thing behind this fight made DC stressful and furious and somehow hesitates
It's way different than the 1st fight, JJ prime was a BEAST
Rogan with the sweetest comment at the end
Jones is an exceptional fighter but DC did have a disadvantage of age and height. He was pushing 40 here and his arm reach was a foot lesser.
that first takedown was surprisingly easier than expected.
the knee that john hit cormier to the body with is a thing of beauty its the best knee to the body ive ever seen in ufc
Mano q luta emocionante, simplesmente sensacional ❤❤❤❤
Khabib to dc: he might seem like fat and short but he is strong like a human bear.
But sometimes a bear can become a prey by bigger bears.
for me, that trip attempt is the most impressive thing
DC can take hits man. Like a tank
Jones chasing DC after that high kick felt like a lion chasing a dizzy zebra 💀🔥
Jon's whole strategy was to set up for that head kick even though DC fought well over the first two rounds and arguably won them...he was hitting him with leg kicks and body kicks to condition DC to defend those kicks to he can leave his head open for that kick .
Both incredible fighters
That finishing head kick stunned DC and it was over after that
Wow. That was the recent Edwards vs. Usman finish with that head kick. Same side and everything.
DC was doing so well man, no wonder he was heartbroken
