Somebody with a good Fight IQ(TM) tell me why Gustaffason will lose. I've only seen his recent card appearances, and he looked solid to me. Not that DC isn't, but I'm stupid.

Mentally weak, gets hit a lot and is often controlled on the ground. The only thing he's really got on DC is range and DC didn't have too much trouble getting in on Jones. He may not have the power of Rumble but he's still going to tag Gus quite a bit before bringing him down to the ground.

I'm very much looking forward to the second DC/Jones fight. DC seems a lot less easy to break mentally now.

He does need to figure out a way to neutralize those knees from tall dudes though. And even he admits he needs to work on his takedown defence.

It's very hard to win a round if you lost 4 minutes of it. In fact I would say the opponent would literally have to have been saved by the bell to pull it off. That wasn't the case here IIRC.

Edit: Gus will continue to keep losing close decisions like the Jones and DC fights if he keeps turning his back and running away multiple times in the fight, and I'm cool with that. Also Gus sat back and did nothing for the last 20 seconds of the fourth and fifth even though he was the guy who needed to put a stamp on the rounds. He practically threw it away.

Thats really what was winning DC the championship rounds, he was always pushing forward and always at least attempting to put a stamp on the end of the round.

So the judge that scored it for Gus gave him Round 2, 3, 4. I can see giving 3 to Gus. Even though Gus got 6 more significant strikes (Gus was outstruck in all ways in every other round) in Round 4 he also spent a poo poo ton of that round turning his back on DC and running away, and DC turned it up at the end of the round. As for 2, the judge clearly put a lot of weight into the takedown Gus had as everything else in that round was equal otherwise and the takedown he did get DC immediately stood up from so I can also see why the other judges didn't see much in it. In terms of control in round 2 Gustaffson had 26 seconds vs DC having 25 so should the takedown make any difference on the cards, I don't know.

I have Gus round 2 as well.

Really the rounds that seems to be in dispute are 3 and 4, and the judges were coin flipping those rounds too. Any score from 49-46 Cormier to 48-47 Gustafsson seems reasonable to me.

I don't think that DC was nearly finished in round 3 though. He got hurt, dropped, then got back up. I definitely see where someone would give it to Gus, but DC was winning every exchange and landing more shots before that. I had that one 10-10.

The folks on MMAFighting.com are up in arms about round 3 when honestly DC got dropped and immediately got up and smartly reacted and grabbed the single and worked his way back up to throwing punches. Its hard to put THAT much stock in the knockdown when that was the result.

If Gus kept on the ground and stayed dominant I could see scoring the round for him maybe. But yeah I think one of the better score cards would be 10-9, 9-10, 10-10, 10-9, 10-9 for a DC win with 49-47. Hell I could see that fight being a 48-48 draw on a card.
