I was very disappointed by this whole event. But as far as the main event I feel like DC didn't even even utilize his strengths in this fight at all. He really tried to go out there and knock out Jon Jones. DCs striking is nowhere near technical and he actually allowed himself to be taken down due to his poor technique. I was really rooting for ya DC, but that performance was lackluster.
The whole night was pretty lame. Ppv for UFC is getting known now as lame cards except for the main events.
Post fight interview DC mentions the fact that he didn't prepare for jones to be striking when DC was advancing and it totally caught him off guard. He figured he'd be able to advance when necessary but Jones was catching him with great shots while retreating and he didn't expect it.
Jones beat him at his own game though- definitely out wrestled DC. DC couldn't get his little T. Rex arms around jones' long legs, just too much and too big for DC.
Gotta say I laughed when Cowboy called them the "fuck you kicks" in the post fight interviews. He's a fucking character. He was dipping chew and spitting in a bottle of bud and dropping f bombs. Dude doesn't care at all and that awesome. Made me a fan.
