And for his build too it’s insane. The only way you’d deplete his gas tank was with body shots like Stipe did in the second fight. Then again that’s with most fighters. But DC’s cardio for how he was built was just scary. Imagine having a small bear relentlessly come at you and try to maul you all the while you’re just playing the long game and waiting till it gets tired but it doesn’t get tired and it just keeps in coming. That’s what I’d imagine fighting a prime DC was like. His cardio isn’t Covington/Ferguson level but it’s still top notch and scary as hell due to how relentless he can be.

Amazing Larone, thank you very much. Gus is certainly the best to never win a belt IMO. Colby, I feel, was winning fight 1 but was decisively stopped and at the minimum drew if not won against Usman in fight 2, while Dustin, often titled one of the best to never win a belt, was definitively stopped in both his title attempts. While Gus was stopped by Jones in the 2nd fight, you can make a very, very compelling argument that Gus won against Jones and DC. To me, the DC fight pushed in DC's favour because of DC's clinch success coupled with Gus running away a lot. In a razor thin fight like that, the appearance of Gus doing his signature sprint probably convinced the judges.

The takedown rules are so damn janky. Gus launched DC to the floor from fully standing and laid flat onto his belly on all 4's yet it isn't counted as a takedown because Gus didn't then 'establish an attack', which, whether it's control, ground and pound or a sub attempt, is SEPARATE from the takedown. Weirdest rule.

DC is a guy in ashamed to admit I didn’t truly appreciate until he beat Stipe. Looking back it’s a shame that people like myself, and I own my major error, in not appreciating just how damn good DC is because of the Bones fiasco. DC genuinely deserves to be in the talk as one of the greatest of all time in the sport, a lock in the top five. If he wasn’t in the Bones era and retired when he hoped to he probably would be in many of those talks. Only lost to the the arguable GOAT of the entire sport and the largely accepted GOATof the HW class and even in those losses he made his presence felt.
