There’s no way he will have the reign that The spider had.

And you can cook it with the membrane on. Not a big deal either way.

Great 1st round. DC got tagged early but recovers and grinds out Johnson for the edge.

Round 2:

DC ground and pounds Johnson. Johnson dominated survives but cut by elbows.

Damn. It’s all over.

DC will have a serious credibility problem unless/until he beats Jones.

That's a wrap folks! Fun night of fights. Thanks for stopping by.

We'll be back next weekend for UFC Fight Night - Condit vs. Alves.

Decent card!

Shows you what good wrestler Jones is that he could out-wrestle a guy that just did THAT to Rumble who is a pretty good wrestler himself.

I ain’t a big fan of DC but I have to give props for that performance, he’s a dangerous combatant. Rumble was decimated completely and dominated comprehensively.

Dana White is probably pissed because a Jones/Cormier rematch is less compelling than Jones/Rumble. However, LHW is such a weak division that if Jones is out for long enough, Rumble can get a rematch with DC. The only other really good fighter at LHW other than Jones, DC, and Rumble is Gustafsson and he just lost brutally to Johnson.

Things in the middle weight division are interesting as to gets the title shot that is.

Yeah that’s a bummer for me. Hopefully we will eventually see Jones/Rumble and a Jones/Gus rematch. Still waiting for JDS/Overroid, which was canceled twice.

As for the middle weight title shot, I think it should be Rockhold. There is also Souza but let’s give the poor Brazilians a break from CW, lol. I think either could give Weidman a good fight.
