The teacher schooled the student.
predicatable result…cormier is the number one without jon jones even if i would like to see a rematch with gustafsson
No doubt that DC was visualizing Jon Jones face on Volkan through out that fight
Volkan just came into the spotlight ..was never tested before
and got tested by one of the all time bests
