For a guy who literally did nothing but wrestle until his thirties, Daniel Cormier has some damn impressive striking. Even his striking against Jones was impressive considering the absolute comical gap in reach
Cormier's clinch game is simply excellent. In addition to Gus' running, Cormier's clinch work won him their razor thin fight (which still could have gone either way), in my opinion, and, like you say, he really put the work in on Jones in both their fights once he got his hand round Jones' neck.
Hes really the embodiment of a fighter, seems like he has a great head on his shoulders, and hes able to jump into a new style without many obstacles thatll stand in his way
Great resume Wold Champion in every company he fought Wins against: Stipe Miocic Dan Henderson Anderson Silva Josh Barnet The Black Beast Rumble x2 Big Foot Silva Big Country
Usually when i watch these kind of collages the Fighters annoy me with their fakeness (i get that its for promo, dont think im naive, its still annoying), and DC just always makes me happy. such a good guy.
Idc DC is the goat every defense (besides Silva which wasn’t even a title fight) was against the best LHW and HW fighters of that time, and he was a clean fighter, and he defended the second belt. He lost to only 2 people and the second jones fight jones was on PED AND DC was clean his whole career fuck the 206 towel gate nobody cares about that when Jon jones did everything he did
In all of Derrick Lewis’s fights, he always looks so unprepared. He has no movement, baseline cardio and relies on a haymaker to win. The only things he’ll be know for is the Gustafson upset and saying his balls were hot.
