I’d say it’s a sign of respect kinda even though he hates his guts. When someone drives you to be better it’s at the core appreciation where it’s to be an asshole or whatever reason but deep down it is appreciation. Ik I sound crazy when I say that but that’s how I see it imo
@@daniels7717 he actually doesn’t sleep before fights. He even talks about it on the JRE podcast. He parties and gets blacked out wasted the week before the fight. It’s truly intriguing how a guy with such horrible habits has such success. God has blessed him and he just pisses it all away.
the crazy part is Jon said he would expose a 'tendency' that corier has in fights, and cormier replied and said "he's talking about how i dip my head in fights". Then he dipped his head right into a brutal head kick
DC: I would die to beat you Jon: Be prepared to do that What a cinematic line, this was by far the greatest, realest and most raw rivalry in MMA history, two legendary fighters who want nothing but to be the best at each other’s expense, they don’t make them like this anymore!
Ufc is becoming soft in promoting fights man. From 2013-2018 was the best time and some great rivalry. Fighters tryna kill eachother in the press-conference but nowadays it’s all soft. (No more Bad Blood), ( No more Realistic Rivalry), They gotta bring some old OG to tell the young blood how to promote the fight.
@@akhilsharma5812 Exactly my thoughts man, they really dropped the ball when they didn’t do a bad blood series for Usman Vs Covington and Adesanya Vs Costa, two great rivalries with very poor promotion
Every rip Jon does rips into DC’s soul. That kind of confidence you can’t fake. The worst one was the your good but not great line then saying all his shortcomings, I bet that line still hurts.
Dc was an Olympic level wrestler who has been tested more than any other athlete in the ufc and never tested positive. Jones popped multiple times and for the exact same drug that his brother popped for in the same time period. Do thale math dip shit.
just look at his beef with rashad, rashad told jon to his face hes fake and plays shit up for cameras years before dc did, but that point didnt stick cause jon whooped his ass
@@ItsReplayBro wouldnt have made a diffrenece it was a singular microscopic picogram of turinabol which is one trillionth of a gram and its currently allowed now to have up to 100 picograms in your body as it doesnt make any difference at all jones is just the better artist
@@bradbarfuss6472 man get off Jones nuts. He never been caught full blown doping like dillashaw. 1st it was Cocaine second it was a picogram of a PROVEN tainted substance. So get off his nuts.
I still remember rooting for DC and people booing him it pissed me off man!! DC is such a great guy I met him at a WWE event he was with his kids and still was able to greet me and be a nice human
Bruce Buffer is one of the coolest dudes ever, every interview with him he just seems awesome, super passionate about the fighters and the sport. The GREATEST ring announcer of all time.
You’re saying jones didn’t win at life 😂 they’re both wealthy and can live on without being famous and the ufc, who are you to determine who wins at life shut up 😂
DC losing the fight is pretty heartbreaking I think. He went in with all odds of life against him with his age and became a Champion. I hated hearing how "if cormier loses he fades away" how? he became a champion fighter, He also was part of the biggest rival fight in MMA history. Im glad Jones gave him the credit after the fight. Both going toe 2 toe that night was such a you had to be there moment
@@slazerlombardi they don’t make you a better fighter if that was the case most people will be champions because a lot of them used but can’t reach the top
@@slazerlombardi a bunch of figeters was really on roids not sme dick pills or cocaine and whre are they? also machida and bonnar on roids what about trt vitor that did roids his full career sonnen 4 banned substances, can see around right ?
Hey could u help me and tell me why the fight was stopped. In this vid at 43.45 he says let’s have doc look at it… was it Bc they accidentally head butted each other!?
I love seeing where Cormier is now and how loved he is. This rivalry was so cool and the fact that he was a threat to jones with that height and reach advantage is crazy.
Only people who actually like DC are the geriatrics kids who follow khabib, really. Other than that, nobody likes or respects either. Nobody with an iq over 5.
That overhand that Jon threw at Cormier in the press scrum was absolutely nothing to do with theatrics. He was really really tryna hurt that man. If he somehow severely injured him right there I think he would have been just as satisfied as if he did it in the ring. A real calculated savage. Fave fighter ever to watch (Khamzat getting up there slowly) but a scary, dark human being..
The touching of gloves at the beginning of the fight shows the respect they have for each other. Words, emotions and personalities aside, both these guys know they're the best in the world.
Cause DC wasn’t used to losing. He was and is a lifelong winner, so to be losing to a guy who arguably is dishonorable like Jon Jones, that would aggravate many people
It’s still amazing to me how good Jones is without really trying. I say that knowing he puts in the work and trains hard but everything is just so effortless for him when he does it. I feel like he could be the best at anything he ever tried. Some people have a way about how they go about things that just allows them to adapt to any situation they get into and morph into the correct person for that activity. If he wanted to be the best chef or cowboy, whatever he tries, he’ll be able to just be the best. And he’s still so damn young! I think he’s gonna run through the Heavyweight division now that he’s moving up. As good as Stipe is, I think Jones just beats him. I don’t think it’ll be easy, but it won’t be as tough as it should be.
@@vk3nn728 That might not be enough time for both of them to have a long enough camp for that fight. They said if they can’t get it done for December, then they’re gonna try for March. I do think Jon will win the fight but Stipe will give him a few good rounds. Honestly i’d have a very hard time ever betting against Jones but some guys are just tough matchups for him. Not tough in the way that it would be for most people but tough in the “Jon Jones” way. He won’t knock him out quick but he’ll win the fight.
DC was honestly treated so terribly during this time. He was the fighter that was always ready and literally the one keeping his nose clean. When Jon says, "everyone deserves a second chance". You are correct sir, but I'm fairly certain you got 3 or 4 chances.
One of their funniest interactions by far. It is so suddle if you didnt see the clip of DC talking to them right before you would never understand how hilarious that moment is
Man I hope in the future these two can hash it out and talk on camera about how much they used to hate each others and see them give each other respect for being great fighters
People dont understand that Jon has only fought former champions and number one contenders for the majority of his career. So anytime his performance looks poor remember his competition. Let that sink in.
There is something in Jon Jones that makes watching him very enjoyable. This maniacal narcissism and extreme confidence but not McGregor like, more like a evil genius from movies. This plus the fact that he never lost, has insane fight IQ and somehow keeps his status as a mythical fighter makes everything Jon related 10 times better. He is either a perfect actor and showman or true violent psychopath. Considering all of this, I'm really looking forward to the Ngannou fight and I really can't see how he can lose
lets be honest he has a lost on his record, and he actually lost to Reyes. he ran up a weight class because hes terrified of the rematch, and now of Blachowicz, only to find Ngannou
@@garden3818 I don't think he lost to Reyes or Santos. I actually see big fight IQ and champ ezperience in those fights. Also, Jon Jones was always better at rematches. He KOed DC, he mauled Gus. I don't think he ran to HW because he was terrified, look, he acomplished everything at LHW. There would always be some new contenders like Jan, Jiri or Rakić now, but Jones has been fighting all contenders since 2011. His transition to HW makes perfect sense. Also I don't think that when Jones will finally fight for the belt, Ngannou will be the champ and even if he is the champ then Jones beats Ngannou 9/10 fights. He fought Rumble Johnson in his prime who also had an anvil and a sledge hammer in his hands.
@@Wilqu6 Jon never fought Rumble, but I absolutely agree with everything else you said. That garden guy who commented is a text book casual. He actually believes that Jon lost to Matt Hamill. LOL I hope he goes and watches that fight and realizes how big of an idiot he is
I've watched this video and the 1st fight Best Moments video around 3 times each. So entertaining....it goes to show that a great rivalry is the makings of a cinematic fight.
tbh jones is still the absolute GOAT and I find DC that DC seems fake asf, same with his forced relationship with Khabib and those shits. He knew people would like him more so he took the chance lol and he is biased asf, Jon Anik is the GOAT
It's called: composure and manhood. We live in this new normal of men being overly emotional over minor things. Not for nothing for example, Mike Tyson had every opponent he fought scared of him, yet he was scared of them. So Jon has a very good poker face. DC in his heart was jealous that Jon stole the spotlight , so he couldn't attack his skills he had to get personal and cried with his losses to Jon.
@@sweetrose19 yeah ik thts how it is ur mind is ur biggest advantage in any combat sports there's a saying 'u fight with anger ur vulnerable and u drain ur self fast'
This video by far deserves my respect. This dude legit made a video with all the clips between jones and DC AND the video is 47 mins long with no ADS. CONGRATS ON A NEW SUB
This is the rivalry that (despite not liking him) made me realise that Jones is, and will always be, the 205 pound GOAT. The only question he had left was "can he take a punch?" and he took DC's best.
man this was soooo entertaining, i think dc n jon should come together and do a reality show about this past rivalry.i want to see them being good n nice to each other
True. Sometimes I forgot that DC is almost 10 years older than Jon cuz Jon looks old but DC has always been mature and experienced in being a responsible adult for a long time. He could see through Jon's personality. You know what, sometimes I kinda understand why DC refused to be friend with Jon after their 2nd fight. He just doesn't wanna be associated with that character.
"Daddy who were those women in your car when you crashed it?" "Daddy why did you hit that pregnant lady and run away?" "daddy why did you cheat to win?" "daddy why did you do drugs?"
Man I hope this guy comes back the same.. he has been getting hit more lately and makes me a little nervous with heavyweights but he’s Jon jones he’s the goat
