Gus is arguably the greatest fighter to never become champion. This guy took both DC and Jones into deep water during their primes.

I'd have to disagree. In terms of fighting, the best fighter to never become a UFC champ has to be Overeem. Ran through K1 legends, and was pummelling guys in Pride, his 2008 spree was legendary when he was on that juice and finishing all his opponents and going undefeated. 75% sig strike accuracy. About his only weakness was that glass chin

You really can’t look at Cormier or Jones 1 and say they’re better fighters than Gus Extremely extremely close fits and in Cormier fight he even almost kod him with that knee. Like 1% difference in gus’ favor and he could’ve had wins over JJ and Cormier. Pretty incredible

I remember how everyone was trashing Gus before this fight because he was coming off of a rnd 1 TKO from Rumble, saying the Jones fight was a fluke and he wasn't worthy of another title shot. Then he went out and put on this performance when DC had an insane aura of invincibility around him.

DC at 205 only beat patrick cummins & 3 fight losing streak hendo he arguably lost this fight when Phil Davis easily choked him out, after this fight smith choked him & Krylov flatlined him. We can all hate on Bader for stupid ass memes but he absolutely deserved a shot vs DC more than Gus back then. Jones also beat gus 4-1 easily idk why that was ever a debate, Reyes 100% beat Jones 3-2 but i think Thiago Santos did a better job than gus & he didn't win either.

4-1 is ridiculous and you either only watched the highlights of that fight, or you are trying to put out shit bait to argue with people. It's important to call that out because Gus was the closest anyone had ever gotten to making Jon look human, and almost won that fight. The Johnson fight, well, what happened there happened and it was a bit of an upset at the time. Bader had a great run but he had been absolutely Daddied by Jon Jones. It could be argued that it is a shallow metric to use, but they knew the public would be sold on the guy who made the nemesis of DC look normal, rather than the dude who had been dominated by him. @@DADRB0B55

Most underrated fighter ever in my opinion. He had a complete game to go with exceptional toughness and heart. I wonder what could have been for Gus if he wasn't so unlucky to have his peak years spent battling in the same division as two of the sport's best ever during their respective primes. Not to mention Anthony Johnson who's arguably the hardest puncher of all time finally came into his own as a light heavyweight during this period as well. Gus gave Jones and DC their most difficult and brutal fights and two of the most exciting in history. He was great despite not having the belt to show for it.

@BeatleHD22 your acting like the goat of the sport isn't an eyespoke specialist
@@danielcampbell2607 not the goat jones simply slams.
@@TasimanaOGyeah slams his fingers in opponent's eyes
@@Mohammed_Rehan81 jones is better
The golden era of Lhw division. Where Jones, DC, Rumble and Gus is active and still in their prime.
Rumble was not in JJ era… they never match each other
Lol no. Golden Era was the the shogun, rampage, Rashad, Lidell and Machida Era .
@@Jp-do9nyand jones beat most of them lmaooo
@@beanteam2217thank god Chuck retired and never fought Jon imagine the murder we woulda witnessed
Man if this aint in your top 10 title fights of all time, BURN ur list.
So I underrated man this is genuinely up there for me as top fights of all time
Daniel Cormier 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve never seen this fight before, what a banger
What a fucking fight this was! Amazing! This was prime gustavsson, putting DC and jones through hell It's a shame what happened to him now
What happen to gustafson now ?
Gus was such a monster in his prime, he got a rough deal in his career, arguably won his first fight with Jones, and then a case could be made for this fight too as he landed a knockdown. He was never the same after these fights, respect to both of these legendary warriors.
He did not win that first fight against jones
@@robertoleon7242 An argument can be made that he won, which is why I said arguably.
You're just a Jones hater. No way Gus won that fight.
@@ClimaxDocumentary relax, I’m not a Jones hater, the guy is the goat. It was a very very close fight.
@@TheKG636 he won by unanimous decision. People are obsessed with the result of this matchup way more than lots of split decisions. The reason is Jones has lots of haters due to his behavior during the years. U are for sure one of them haters.
In my opinion, if Gustafsson decides to change his corner team, no one can stop him from becoming the UFC champion. He's everything a fighter should be, except a smart trainer
All I hear r are excuses
@@martyvlrjr2333all I hear is a casual
His trainer(s) are the reason he reached his levels. Why abandon them? He simply got older and battle-worn. Not to mention the tough weight cuts. People who can stay at the top more than three to five years are the exception - very special fighters.
He should change division
@@tristan583 he already did go up to hw for a few fights but had no success
Cormier merece todo nossa admiração. Valente e guerreiro.
Respect both Warriors 👏🏼👏🏼
I was screaming every time Gus was in that clinch man, if only.
Holy shit Charlie Hunnam can fight!!!
Man Alex was so good during that time, one of my favourite fighters
One of my favourite fights of all time
I had Gus winning this 48-47, 2, 3 and 4, DC took rounds 1 and 5
4 is by far the closest round really comes down to how you score it. I dont hate scoring it for Gustaffson, but he spent a lot of the round really avoiding Cormier and the strikes were somewhat even, so I give the edge to Cormier. Damn close round, about as 50/50 as it gets.
@@lukepier9736 Thing is cornier was pressuring him but especially in round 4, gus was landing more clearly and effectively.
Imagine if DC could have gotten his weight under control and been at middle weight.
I don't know if he'd ever be able to make that cut, he's a thick dude naturally. But yes he would have absolutely manhandled people at MW.
he’s just a huge person. look at the size of his cranium
Look at how Cannonier changed his lifestyle and went from HW to MD. DC just likes Popeyes too much.
DC is just a barrel-chested dude. Even at weigh-ins when he’s cut enough weight that you can see his ribs he’s still got that big round torso
Naw cuz, he fat. @@oneill765
I always forget just how good DC was. He is a freaking national treasure.
One of best title fights of all time. Prime DC was a MF !!
Damn what a fight!
Prime Gus and DC were absolute beast.
Gustafssons corner telling him hes not tired is brilliant
8yrs older and ends it with a spinning heal kick beast my man
Que luta monstruosa!!! Dois monstros absurdos!!
Wow! Awesome fight!
Amazing fight
Classic fight
What a fight
What a fight!
That was a great fight.
Dc is a class act. Alex is a good fighter. Neither deserved to lose to me Picogram.
0:25 - holy shit, Bruce went hard af there
Both fighters were entertaining to watch as they gave their all, unlike some boring point fighters.
Daniel "I'm not going to just stand here and let you kill me , Jon." Cormier
great fight
The golden era of ufc
0:57 bottom right: Nov 14th, Rousey vs Holm 💀💀
Distance traveled gotta be the most obscure stat to put up in an mma fight
All the homies love Larone
Bloody fight, both men are blood tasty, sharp and lands good the punches like the rain in the rainforest 😂
I say DC is the most consistent fighter I've seen because he has never lost as the favorite. This is the one time he struggled with a so called underdog.
vid doesn't show up in my sub box for some reason
I forget how much of a war this fight was.
If Cormier lost some weight, he could fight in middleweight. He is a crazy guy for taking on light heavyweights and heavyweights, because he has a lot of length disadvantage.
Imagine if Cormier took the Cannonier route
Welcome to Saturday night slam 🌩masters 🌩
I fought my brother the same way, over the last Pep 'n' Cheese Hot Pocket
😂😂😂😂 that's crazy
Dc was in incredible shape for that weight class
Hope Alexander is top ufc commentator in his homeland and treated like a king. He earned it.
Amazing fight I absolutely adore DC especially his relationship with khabib and the other Dagestanis 😊😊😊
Herb Dean is a real one for not stopping the fight when Cornier got kneed in the face.
What a fight! I just don’t understand why Gus didn’t use his jab more….
People talk about Jones vv. Gus but this fight is right up there, man. This fight is the shit, man.
He’s gonna feel that big slam in the beginning
Mais alors....mais quel combat ,incroyable ya pas eu de K.O mais là pas grave car vu le combat !!
Cormier is just a bull, what a beast
watched the uppercut combo at 2:10 from Gus like 10 times
Dude dc has a crazy upper frame
DC is so strong, like him.
"It's all about pressure and it's all about success" - Joe Rogan
Miocic, gustafsson, aspinall and dc the goats of heavyweight division.
If Gustaffson had performed in this match with Cormier, the way he had performed in his fight with Jon Jones, we would have seen a new champion that night. His fight with Jones was so incredible and impressive i cant beleive anything other than he wouldve been the champion had he been able to perform on that level with DC
Cant imagine if cormier size same as gustav and jones😅..he is short but complete fighter💪
It was gus' backpedaling that i think refs gave cormier yhe close rounds. They perceived it as "running because he was hurt.". In reality the taller fighter just wanting more space to work.
damn gus was an animal. Wrong time or maybe one bad day away from the belt
Best Triumvirate rivalry in UFC : 1. Jon Jones - DC - Gustafsson 2. Connor - Khabib - Tony 3. Rampage - Chuck - Wanderlei 4. Alexander - Brian - Max Holloway
It always puts a smile on my face when I see Gustafsson landing takedowns on DC and Jon Jones. Such a ballsy move!
Dc 5'11" and fought in LHW and HW. Other same height fighter are gighting in LW and WW
It's bird, No... It's a plane. Damn boi thats Alexander Gustafsson going airborne by D.C
Jesus Christ that first take down...
dunno how this was a split decision
Cormier won this one
It was way more fucking close than Jones vs gus yet noone class this a fight a robbery
@@DADRB0B55 it was seen as a robbery due to Gus being the first person to do well against Jon but looking back its not close
@@kobywilkinson3035 That’s how I see it too.
@@kobywilkinson3035 no it was seen as a robbery because gus won more rounds
The heavy still and will remain the craziest most challenging division, the fact that dudes like Overeem and Gus never became champions is the proof that the division is full with killers , congrats to all involved
Cormiers wrestling is fantastic. I csnt believe he abandoned his wrestling against Stipe.
DC does not have height advantage,he gets to fight with 6'2" to 6'6" players who have longer hands .
I’d love to see Gustaffson vs. Dominic Reyes
Kom igen Alexander Sveriges stoltheti MMA 🇸🇪
Europe needs more champs
dunno why people hated DC or slept on Gustafsson, both such good fighters
This fight is a lot closer than I remember, don't know who won round 4
How did dc flipped a 6 feet tall plus guy like tgat in mid air
Poor gus never got a belt. Legend, viking blood to take punishment like that
i wish alexander has both ground game and muaythai, he could be like jonjones
Dc was a absolute beast flipping a 200 pound man mid air 😂😂
Daniel definitely deserved the win. And truly Gustafsson made him a better fighter.
Crazy, how DC makes Gus look like the smaller guy
I honestly prefer this fight to the Jones vs Gus fight. Take away the element of surprise and this fight is superior in every single way
deafening crowd never gets old
Should have been much more groundwork though..
Dc just solid 😂
Seeing dc now your never guess he was 205 at a point in his career 😂
People are not mentioning that Cormier was really pass his prime at the age 36 fighting a good fighter in his prime at 28!!! If Cormier was in his prime this fight might have not been so close!!!! And Cormier was the much shorter man at 5'11 and Gus is 6'5!! Looking at the tale of the tape, Cormier was at a total disadvantage!!!
What a war this was! I thought Gus won this one, but definitely could have gone either way. I also think Gus beat Jones in their first fight.
