Hey man I don't like Jones either but if you are making a living fighting in a cage you are for sure not a pussy. At least we can see both of them 100% for whenever it is they throw down.

Daniel Cormier wishes champ Jon Jones would have fought through an injury at UFC 178, because he was on track to do the same.

Following news of Jones’ injury withdrawal from the Sept. 27 pay-per-view event, Cormier told FOX Sports 1’s “America’s Pregame” that an existing knee injury he previously downplayed was fairly serious.

“I said from the beginning that Jon Jones isn’t afraid of anyone,” Cormier said. “But if I can go in there with a partially torn ACL, I think he should have fought; tough it up and fight.

So do y'all think DC has his surgery right now, Jones fights Gus next (in 2015 sometime), then maybe Jones & Cormier end up fighting at some point before DC turns 40? frick

What exactly has Gus done to get another shot?

I think DC is holding off on surgery to keep his place in line to fight JJ.

Maybe it's just me, but beating Jimi Manuwa shouldn't get you a title shot.

After DC, who else deserves a shot at LHW...Phil Davis or Ryan Bader? Lol. Gustafson should be next in line after DC

Maybe it's just me, but beating Little Nog circa 2014 shouldn't get you a title shot.

Actually, if Rumble wins his next fight, he will probably be next in line after Gus.

ummmm, you do realize Gus was first in line ahead of DC (and everyone else) for the next title shot.....until he got injured. Many wanted Gus to get an immediate rematch in the first place.

Yeah. Jones is a lot of things but pussy ain't one if them. The dude fights the best fighters in the works in a cage for a living.

He had his shot, lost, and then beat some can.

This was gonna be the first UFC I would have watched in years. But Jones is "injured"

Gotta love Dana playing up the hype for this fight for another 5 months. What a joke

I love how everyone in the thread is acting like someone getting hurt while training for a UFC fight has to be a fake injury
