This guy is so humble he acts like he losts that fight

[@Khedran]

He broke Jon's toe and made him sit. Had the ref noticed before the bell, it would have officially been a TKO win for the Bad Guy

[@SLSMe]

Ikr. 😂😂

​@Khedran listen what u said he broke his toe and it was bad Jon still fought through that and dominant fashion u right would of been tko but think of the handicap and still fighting and won

What a humble man Chael is. Jon is the only guy he didn't demolish. 49-0 with 49 KO's and 49 submissions, Jon is the only one Chael couldn't put away.

[@galanoth17]

One day AI edits will have people believe Chael lost a round in a fight

[@BigWrangler]

The fact chael didnt wanna rematch but DC did was willing to fight Jon 3 times, says alot about how tough DC is. Or maybe it was just his anger towards Jon that drove him

[@dumbfailurekms]

...or that DC's fights were closer and he believed he had a chance to win

[@ozanozenir2503]

Jones defeated dc by using dopings. He was literally stripped off the belt and the belt was given back to dc after the match.

[@cleech74]

@@ozanozenir2503Yeah, Jones not being clean in any one, or multiple fights with DC really robbed fans of knowing that the wins were decisive, and/or real. I mean, it’s almost a certainty that Jones is hands down the best fighter in the entire history of the UFC, even to the point that DC probably agrees with that statement. Unfortunately, there will always be a “what if…?” hanging over that distinction, and their trilogy. For me, and many others, Jones will forever have an asterisk next to his record. Although, as I type this, maybe the UFC gods had a premonition regarding the whole situation, and marked his career well before all that happened, taking away his perfect record with the DQ loss to Hammel. Even though he was clearly winning that fight, it’s still a loss in the record books.

[@ozanozenir2503]

@@cleech74 i think they should have declare dc the winner of the match where jones was tested positive.

[@mstechs8181]

A while back, I remember chael in a interview saying he knew he wouldn't have won the fight, he said something like "pressured into the fight" and he was saying he knew he didn't stand a chance now he's saying he felt confident before the fight?

[@offspringpk]

Speaker as an MMA fighter being as honest as possible. True fighters always think they can win, you have to. But with that being said a fighter there’s always a slight doubt in someone’s mind if they feel the person is better but we still tell ourselves we can win even if there’s doubt. What do you except him to do, say i think i’m gonna lose this fight??? no obviously not. and also any real fighter will fight anyone. To quote the famous max halloway. “gladiators don’t carry a scale”

[@yakersville]

Yep he said it on flagrant podcast, said he felt like a lamb going to slaughter

[@offspringpk]

@@Gh0st_0723 Apparently since only people who are true fighters would understand. based on your comment you most likely couldn’t fight your way out of a paper bag so your opinion is irrelevant to the real mma community. stick to BLM rallies buddy.

I can't tell if DC is happy knowing he isn't the only one haunted by the times he spent with Jones in a cage. Or if he's just finally coming to terms that as good as he was Jones was just mountains better. Even when he was in his prime charlie sheen days he was still the best in the world.

A real possibility in that fight is that if Chael couldve made it a little longer to the end of R1, he mightve won. Jones had severely broken his big toe.

[@N3GATiiVE]

the gives me Forest Griffin talking about fighting Anderson Silva vibes lmao

If he thinks he was juiced, JJ's was even more and walks around at 225lbs. This is how JJ ran through so many guys in the light-heavy division, he supposed to be a heavy weight.
