This is why UFC has receeded in popularity severely.


It feels like every single PPV loses several fighters to injury andthey have to put on a band aid.
injuries are part of the fight biz brah this shyt has been happening from time

This fight is as good, if not better than the original Gus/Jones match-up. Cormier is a bigger challenge than Gustafsson.

It may well be but theyve already put a ton of promo into the jones/gustafsson fight. Its the most important rematch of all time:troll:


Injuries happen but it seems like injuries have hit them harder the last couple years. Over training might be hurting these guys a lot.

exactly, the only ppl that should be bummed about this are zuffa cuz that rematch was obviously going to fetch the company $$$. But from a sporting pov this is a better scenario.Whether ppl like it or not jones already beat gus why waste time on rematches when you got a mature number 1 contender who is on borrowed time?

I don't know shyt about mma breh :heh:

I'll ask the coaches(USA Wrestling :blessed:) on Sunday what they think though :lupe:
Jones likes to prove that he can hang with his opponents in any arena so people say he will try to keep cormier at bay with his striking but i think he will try to engage in any aspect the fight goes to to prove to himself and the fans that he isnt scared of taking it anywhere.

People say *o you wont bang with a striker* like Glover and he does so
People say *o you wont grapple with a bjj black belt* like Vitor and he did so
People say *o you wont box with a boxer* like Gus and he did so

Jones likes to prove that he can do anything friend, and this may take him into an arena where he learns he, Cant do everything because Cormier has the 2nd best wrestling credentials in the UFC next to Yoel Romero. Cormier has also fought alot of tall opponents. This will be an interesting fight, friend.

anyways....interesting fight indeed; Cormier gotta figure out how to neutralize Bones' reach which would allow him to take out that knee

the tickets and gates they would have got at mgm with that rematch would've been more than anything in toronto
dont know all the financials, but whether its ACC or Rogers Center in Toronto, its always sold out....we've got a great following and fan support up here

either way :manny:; might be the one card this year I actually go watch somewhere
