I think there's a better chance of OSP getting carried off and us worrying about his health than Jones losing

This.

He's still prime and still a psycopath. And his substance issues are a laugh to the excesses of 80s boxers.

I'm sure his arrogance will catch him in his decline (the ****ing guy chose to outwrestle Cormier when striking from distance was a 100% win) but he looks great and his heart looks in it.

I mean this guy beat every killer at 205 pretty easily

Now he's deadlifting like 600 and benching like 400
OSP probably shoulda just passed on this fight

I guess. Surprised he can say so much about JBJ without taking a breath.

Rogan turned-on by Jones's frame lol

Ovince is too passive to win any rounds. But it is true that JBJ is a bit rusty. He isn't connecting quite as much above the waist.

Still 3-0 Jones

OSP didn't even fight back on the second takedown. He's done. JBJ has taken every round and hasn't been in a lick of trouble.

Jones coasted in the 5th. Seemed that he didn't want to take any risks so far ahead on the cards.

As I watched I wondered if jones was sandbagging for DC, and also playing safe to stay fresh and injury free enough to fight on 200.

I was all ready to say "No and No, you don't take your foot off the gas in combat sports" but then I remembered just watching GGG allow Wade to hit him four times in order to give "a present to his fans", so what do I know.

I mean he won every round and none were even that close, but it was not the p4p/goat performance expected against a guy who is 1 and 3 recently. Ring rust sure, but it's not as if he was injured.

All I enjoy about this sport lately is wild speculation, apparently.

Made the fight more enjoyable listening to Cormier tie himself in knots while slurping OSP. He was wanting Jones to fail so badly.

Cormier is really good on the mic, but he was rooting so hard for OSP it was pretty great. Everytime OSP would fire off a half-decent combo, we'd get a "There ya go!" from DC.

What made me laugh was when Jon hit OSP in the back of the head once, DC immediately screamed "back of the head" 5 times in succession.
