Not taking the obvious deoderant fail on Cormier's part too seriously, is it me or does Jones look absolutely gargantuan compared to his opponent in this pic? The stains under dude's shirt makes his task look that much more formidable. Like he just got himself into some sh!t. He's already portly, but Jones still makes him look like a little dude. Which has me wondering, what's Jones walking around at? No wonder he was considering a move up to heavyweight when the time was right. No wonder the whole stage came apart when they got into it. He reminds me of the giants in 300. Article is kind of funny too, Jones was Hulk Smashing on townies in Iowa.

We got into a lot of trouble," Covington said. "When you're in a small town in Iowa, a lot of kids are farm kids and they always wanted to start some stuff with the wrestlers and I was a national champ in college and Jon was a national champ, so they'd always try to pick fights at our house parties and stuff. We would just clear out the place of a bunch of townies."
"Especially Jon -- he'd be throwing people through windows and stuff. It was nuts. He has a bad temper, when he gets mad -- he gets mad."
Apparently Jones didn't follow the No. 1 rule of being a good bouncer -- you have to be nice. We just hope the windows were open at the time.

Jones posted this picture about a week ago:



Jones is not that big, he's the perfect size for LHW. He has a relatively big upper body, but really thin legs.

With the picture you posted, Jones is closer to the camera so it makes him look even bigger. Cormier has fought at HW [against much bigger fighters than Jones] and done extremely well. Plus, he has olympic level wrestling, I think Cormier can definitely handle Jones' size [although his reach is going to an issue].

Here is an intense promo for their upcoming fight:


Both fighters have their hands full, this fight can go either way.

The end of that promo was hilarious. Myself personally, I think Jones is gonna handle Cormier relatively easy. Like you mentioned already, the length is gonna be a factor. It's hard for a good little man to beat a good big man. I like Cormier too, but it's just not happening.


On another note, is it me, or does Cormier remind anybody else of Carlton?

Cormier is stocky, I wouldn't describe him as little. He lacks size, but makes up for it in tremendous strength and wrestling. Which I believe will neutralize Jones' size advantage. Jones' 12 inch reach advantage will be the biggest obstacle for DC.

Cormier has power, but he's not a KO artist. I don't see him finishing Jones via standing strikes (a ground & pound finish is possible though).
