It won't matter who the winner in Jones vs Teixera, Jones vs Gus or Teixera vs Gus will be because in the end, FOR SURE, Daniel Cormier will get the belt from them. There will be a new long reigning champ in the Light Heavy Weight Division and I can see Cormier staying there for a good 4-5 years. I'm sure of it.

Too old to reign over two men such as Gus and.Jones, sorry.

I have to agree Nomad, although I do believe he will get the belt, he's 35, and already said he has problems cutting weight from his wrestling days because his kidneys are ******.  He may be able to hang with Gus and Jones for a few more years but not for long, and Honestly DC vs Gus would be a toss-up for me, I have no idea who would win. My heart goes with Gus because of his boxing and his ability to keep his cool when getting blitzed, But DC has that ragdoll wrestling.  all in all dc may be a future champion, but he wont be a future division king.

DC's definitely got the tools to dominate anyone in the division.

I'm pretty confident he beats Jones. Gus not so much.

I don't think DC will fight for 4-5 years more. But I can see him retiring undefeated.

I don't see DC winning the belt unless Jones, Gustafsson, and Davis are all out of the picture. Personally I see him losing to all 3 of them.

I just don't see what others do in Phil Davis.

Out of all the names what could Phil Davis possibly have for DC? His only advantage over most fighters is his wrestling which he immediately loses against DC. Whoever thinks Davis can beat DC should rewatch his fight with Vinnie. The worst pitter-patter-fest I've seen in my life. That's Davis' striking, a tiny bit better than Vinnie's completely awful striking.

Phil looked awful barely beating Nog too. He caught Gus when he was green, had a decisive loss to Rashad, unimpressive wins over Nog and Vinny then beat up three middleweights in Stann, Boetsch.and Rodney Wallace, may I add not even top 10 Middleweights then had a saga against Wagner Prado....whoever the **** that is. Honestly, Phil Davis just has never impressed me. Rumble is his tallest task since Rashad, but Rumble is one big, unproven X-Factor.

Just ehh, Everyone thinks Phil Davis.lost to Machida except his.mother...Just meh, he's like a really ,.REALLY crappy 205lb GSP.


He cries shout not being in the title picture but he never really does anything to put himself there...he was given a number 1 contenders fight that he lost.

i hope glover beats rumble just so cormier gets a new opponent to fight next. then i would tell jon jones to fight one more fight before you get me. someone like krylov who has looked impressive lately and has cracked the top ten. Krylov is young and dangerous and i could see him pose a few problems for jones. if jones wins then he gets to fight cormier. make him wait CORMIER. that bastard deserves no quarter from the ufc.

i luv me some Cormier but him making a fight on live tv between whittaker and rockhold is just selfish of him. since no one ever calls out Yoel Romero i would like to see Romero fight cormier and i would put 1000 on Romero to whup his azz and romero would be a sizable dawg betting wise. Peace out. no one at MW calls out Romero FACT. romero moves up to 205 to get the title.
