    If that other boy can keep it on the feet he looks dangerous.

    Not bad from Gus, but for me this fight just highlighted how easy he is to hit.

    Disappointing from a neutral point of view he had to go to ground to get the win.

    I cant see Gus beating any of the 3 who have already beat him.

    Wonder how annoyed * get though when the winner pulls over the loser and says "hes a great fighter, great guy" etc after just beating them, in a way ou are just bumming yourself up saying they are great after beating them should just leave guys to do what they want as you can always tell the loser isnt interested anyway.

    I cannot conceive of him avoiding getting thwacked for 5 rounds against AJ.

    I think he could beat Cormier if he does his homework from the first fight, but i dont see him beating Jones ever. I know he came close, and i was rooting for him, but for me that was his chance......i think if Jones can keep on the straight and narrow, he will beat him easier next time. He just takes too many blows for me....it will catch up with him one day.

    That all said, youre right, it is plausible, and it wouldnt be the first time i was completely wrong, just how i view it at this point in time.

    I think i had a similar view at the time, but in truth, i think Jones won it and it was wishful thinking on my part. Great fight though and very close however you look at it.

    I think he is a mental warrior, but you can only lead with your face so often. I know Jones has been tepid in his last few fights, but i still think he has all the tools if needed.

    Sitting watching videos, thinking I'd quite like to see Rockhold v Bisping again. Then realised that Hendo is probably going to knock Bisping out again and it won't happen.

    Gus is a warrior but he sits right underneath DC and Jones with Rumble.

    Those 2 are a class apart at this point. Only way Gus wins the Title is Jones continually * his life up and Mother Nature catches up with DC.

    Rumble knocks out Cormier in their next fight, calling it.
