How can you call yourself a fan and not know rematches 90 percent of the time is different? I mean d.c got dominated his first Jones fight , had a rematch and got knocked outUs = mma fans. Sure lets waste his probably last fight fighting a guy he already fought and knocked him out, very exciting.
Maybe but by the same token DC is now a couple years older and slower and it stands to reason if he gain a substantial amount of power Jones would likely enjoy those same benefits with the added weight himself.I can't put a number on Cormier's weight gain but his training partners report the difference it made to his power was substantial. That would explain why he won by KO after gaining weight, even though "his punches had no effect at all" before that.
If you buy the official story, Jones was on steroids when he knocked Cormier out but now his positive drug tests merely indicate pulsing, which has no performance enhancing effects and would therefore erase the advantage he took into that fight.
He DID hold the record. Tied with two other guys.Brock HELD the record??? With how many other guys?
That’s a pretty misleading statement, imo.

Nothing in there previous 2 fights makes me think a third would be any different regardless of weight class but who knows.
I don't think Cro Cop was THAT much more skilled than Randleman. Just a little.For those who agree with TS, would you in retrospect still feel that way if Stipe tools DC?
Flash KO's that were lies which could never be repeated have happened numerous times in MMA- GSP/ Serra, CC/Randleman being the most notable. There isn't that kind of skill gap here, but this could well be a very different fight the second time around, and Stipe could very well show that he is the best HW.
DC knows he is in for a tough match and stands a decent chance of losing, that is the reason he fought Derrick Lewis instead of an instant rematch with Stipe; DC SAID this, I am not speculating.

You mean the HW with the most defenses ever?
lol
it doesn't make sense... I could understand it if their first fight was close but it was a 1st rd KO
I'd say do Jones 3 at HW, Reem, or JDS/Ngannou winner
