Yeah I do think Cormier would rag doll Gus, Gus hasn't fought a wrestler like DC ever. Jones is an impressive wrestler but shucking his takedowns is not the same as avoiding someone like Cormier.

Also, another solid point that we should discredit all of Cormier's HW experience because it's not as creative? Because you, for some reason, hold the LHW division in higher esteem?

Gus deserves a shot, sure. Irrelevant point though. Cormier should probably get another fight at LHW but it doesn't really affect how you would look at the match-up, thats just you allowing inherent bias to seep into your analysis. Sure, it would be better to see him versus higher level competition but shit that's true of everybody. Haven't seen many fights where people are saying "Man, this fight would be SO much easier to cap if I just had three or four less videos to compare them to."

I'm going to ignore your bolded passive agressive statement, I understood earlier that you thought you were smarter and better than everyone else.




You're kidding, you're telling me that there is occasionally value in Dogs AND Favorites? Depending on the situation too?!


So it's not over value just premature, because if he somehow beats the guys that YOU find to be a true relative judge of his skills, then he has a chance. Gotcha.



Win or lose, my bets the smart money because I am the all knowing all seeing eye on top of the pyramid. If I lose, variance, if I win, edge. That's how this game works.

God damn dude, get over yourself.
Yup. I stopped reading his post when he began suggesting that picking the wrong side is not simply something that every gambler does, but is in fact indicative of some sort of serious personality flaw.

Jury especially is undervalued as fock.
