When Ronda retires, how bad do you think she'll let herself go? The girl has to eat bird food to fight at 135. You know she's gonna look like a retired NFL linemen.
Please be C. Please, please be C.
I get it, it's a legit technique, and it's legal, but c'mon, you have a 10 foot reach advantage. No need to spam the shit out of "oblique kicks" (shit ton of his oblique kicks hit the knee only).
He doesn't have to improve in all offensive aspects, but he'll improve in defensive situations for sure. He'll improve in areas where his opponent put him in a bad spot.
Even if he doesn't show any new techniques, or doesn't physically improve, he'll improve mentally every fight.
He'll learn not to do certain things in this situation because that happened in a fight. He'll learn when to pace himself in this situation. He'll learn how to start off a fight...
Jones has the fast twitch fibers of guys smaller than him, with way longer reach. This isn't a case of Stefan Struve's uncoordinated self with his reach.
You're supposed to compare DC to every other LHW. Tito/Chuck/Wandy/Shogun/Machida/Rampage/etc. couldn't go up to HW, and not only beat Barnett and Silva, but absolutely destroy them.
Not even Rampage can pick up and slam Josh Barnett. Hell, Rampage wouldn't even be strong enough to fight Josh Barnett or Bigfoot @ HW. That's how much of a monster DC is.
And DC only needed to prove he won't die at LHW. He not only showed he wouldn't die, but also that he can rag doll...
But by all accountS, Lyoto isn't undefeated, a guy that picked up and slammed Josh Barnett at HW, TKO'd Bigfoot Silva, and has the skill set needed to beat Jones, all while being recognized as a P4P talent.
Context, brother. CONTEXT.
