Just a little over a month ago, after a prolonged absence due to a suspension brought about by a drug test failure, Jon Jones made a triumphant return to the Octagon and beat Daniel Cormier in an exciting contest that had fans on the edge of their seats. Jones, now responsible for the two defeats on Cormier’s record, not only won the light heavyweight belt back, he also finished his longtime nemesis inside the distance. The regaining of the belt coupled with the finish put Jones in the “greatest of all time” category among many fans and pundits.

We're still waiting for the B sample test results, but it's kind of ironic that Jones was basically (and "allegedly") showing off the exact physical effects that particular steroid would have on someone who was taking it.

He was constantly taking the piss out of Cormier about his physique too, guy is a sociopath.

We can also deem that DC is still not the true champion.
yes, he is.

If JBJ had been DQed for eye pokes during the fight, DC would be the 'real' champion.
JBJ getting DQed after the fight for a different kind of cheating doesn't change anything.

Was Vitor DQ for poking Randy back in the day? Shit happens...move on from the eye poke thing...JBJ isn't the only one.

getting DQed during the fight for doing illegal shit during the fight = getting DQed after the fight for doing illegal shit during or before the fight

Cormier = Champion
Cormier = GOAT LHW (post-USADA)

He didn't poke randy. The punch was legal and the seam of the glove slit randys eyelid. Total freak occurance. Absolutely no poke involved in that fight.
