Brehs, this picture of Jone Jones and Daniel Cormier. Cormier has hands full.
- Thread starter George's Dilemma
- Start date
Cormier knocked out Bigfoot Silva... Cormier is not overmatched in this fight. He's gunning for that belt and is gonna test Jones' chin and BJJ off his back
Are we supposed to accept that Bigfoot is some sort of special fighter? Guess what Arlovski just knocked out Bigfoot 2 months ago. Arlovski for LHW champ.
Silva KO'd Overeem
Silva is 6'4n 264 pounds, it is a hell of difference between a Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight in the UFC
Arlovski can't even make light heavyweight or he would have dropped years ago
guys that size the fight can quickly, Silva beat Arloski before

Southeast World Champion
I'll say this about MT, he can debate without ad hominem which is less then I can say for a lot of you. Keep in mind he is the "worst poster of the year".
He also seems to have a weakness against leg kicks. However, on the flip side, Jones doesn't seem to fight well off of the backfoot.
What about Aldo?

I'm hoping DC catches Jones' leg kicks and gets many many takedowns. But not leg humping though, we all saw what happened to Hendricks :mjplease:
I noticed that awkwardness off the backfoot too but tbh the only dude imo that can beat jones handily is a mix of cormier and gustaffson

Tough to say breh, Cormier has the more accomplished wrestling career. Although, both are phenomenal MMA wrestlers.
Personally, I'm rooting for Cormier, he's hard working, determined and his character/personality seems to be more genuine than Jones's.
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 keeps that fight at a distance and its all she wrote
cormier will have to take all the risks to win, i dont give a fuk what he did against those big stiffs in the hw
bigfoot is a slow footed stiffCormier knocked out Bigfoot Silva... Cormier is not overmatched in this fight. He's gunning for that belt and is gonna test Jones' chin and BJJ off his back

Right, I meant Cormier is used to a reach disadvantage. Look at how he manhandled Bigfoot and Barnett. Huge guys.
Bones loves his reach advantage. He fights at a distance. If Cormier can do what he did to Bigfoot and Barnett, Bones will be very uncomfortable with fighting someone that he cannot use his reach advantage against. Gus was able to match his reach. Cormier will try to pin Bones against the cage with pressure. It's a new situation for him.
you nuts, your comparing the best fighter in the world to slow footed non athletic guys like bigfoot and barnett. cormier had the speed advantage against those guys and guess what hes a better athlete then those guys as well. he will have neither vs jones, jones uses his reach better then anybody in the history of mma
cormier will have to take all the risks in this fight because jones will just pick him apart from distance
cormier has never been in this situation before
How tall is he? I'm 6' 215 and that guy looks huge

We both can argue like we know the future but neither of us do. I get your point. I made mine. We'll see which one is true when the fight happens.
All I have to say now is that Cormier is better than he looks. He looks like crap but he's been beating up everyone in front of him in the HW division and now he's in the LHW division. That to me is pretty insane. The only reason he's not making a run for the HW belt was because he won't fight his close training partner and friend, Cain.
