UFC GOAT Jon Jones KO's Cormier, calls out Brock Lesnar

Postby PorkChop » Jul 30, '17, 10:02 am




Jones reclaims his title and establishes himself as the undisputed UFC GOAT. Anyone who argues otherwise is wrong.

Lesnar will absolutely want this fight - could easily break the PPV record.

I didn't realise he has won his last 14 on the bounce - incredible record and underlines his superiority.

Jones v Lesnar would be all about the money but is there no credible challenger for Jones at light heavyweight? Maybe it's a fight he's wanting to win and then maybe call it a day with all the issues he's had over the years.

IDK Jones' character but a classy post-fight speech having won his second bout over Cormier, who was devastated but that one kick was no fluke, knew what he was doing to capitalise and one thing that struck me was the kick Jones gave to try and trip him up but Cormier stumbled on but for eventually falling down to receive a pummeling.

Jones has won all of his fights. He was DQ'd against Matt Hammill because he used 12-6 (vertical) elbows on a downed opponent, which is a bullshit rule. Athletic commissions basically saw videos of karate guys breaking concrete slabs with their elbows and suddenly deemed the vertical elbow to be illegal. You can hit your opponent on the floor with an elbow at any other angle, just not 12 - 6 elbows.

As for a credible challenger at light heavyweight, Jones has basically cleared out to division. Anthony Johnson was the most credible challenger at light heavyweight but he retired randomly a few months ago. Oezdemir looks like a great prospect but I think Jones would beat him comfortably. A rematch with Gustafsson would be interesting but Jones beats him again, probably.

Nobody in the UFC ever has fought the killers that Jones has. Not even Anderson Silva or GSP. He's the GOAT.

Book the rematch with Gus for the last show of 2017 and then, if USADA allows it, book a superfight with Lesnar for international fight week 2018.
