UFC FN 109: Gustafsson vs Teixeira

[bbc.reporter]

If Jon fought Daniel today, would it be like their first fight? I speculate Daniel to be the better fighter today and Jon Jones to be not as good as before. He might not come back to where he was as a dominant force in light heavyweight.

Daniel is getting older and he has not improved a lot as Jon Jones commented and injuries is a struggling him for a very long time,Jones is younger and is in the best shape possible and you really cannot judge him by the fight against OSP,he will defeat DC once against and claim his belt and the division is not that strong like it used to be in the past.

I agree with you that Daniel Cormier is not getting any younger (38 years old). But I think the level of his opposition since his last lost to Jon Jones is not good either. He fought Anthony Johnson twice is last 4 fights and the Anderson Silva is a non title fight and we see what happened. So we can't say if he hasn't improved because he is overly mismatched in last 4 fights. He almost clean up the top 5 in his decision and he are just waiting for Jon Jones to really show who is the real king of the UFC Light Heavyweight.

The fight versus Anderson Silva cannot be considered as a real fight. Daniel was scheduled to fight Jon Jones because trained for Jon Jones and what did he do? It was expected that Daniel would not perform well whoever his opponent was after the disappointment.

There might also be a cover up because there are rumors now that Jon Jones was using some form of performance enhancing drugs and was not banned for cocaine.

I'm watching the replay right now.  How many of you think the eye poke had a huge negative impact for Texiera?  In the beginning of the second round he was telling his corner he couldn't see with his right eye.  And yet there's almost no mention of it in the UFC media.
