I have almost no doubt that Cormier will take Jones down, it'll be interesting to see Jones working off his back (or if he's able to spring right back up)

that's the thing. Cormier didn't take Mir down, because to be honest the only way he could lose that fight was if Mir pulled off a submission like he did against lesnar, so it made no sense to take him to ground

I don't know how slick jon's BJJ is, but he is going to need it in this fight, because that's cormier's weakest area

Jon Jones has no KO power. Cormier should put as much pressure as possible on him because once they start squaring up hes going to be smashing those knees .

eyepokes and knee kicks, story of the fight.
hope big john refs the fight and takes points away if jones pokes DC more than twice.
Jones will be looking sharp though, and will come with new tricks. However, Cormier has been running through heavyweights.. so we'll see how Jones' range control factors in. Hope we see DC catching those knee kicks and slammin his lanky ass to the canvas

Cormier will eat lotsa standing elbows. Like most of Jones opponents, they realize during the fight that Jones efficiency using his range is crazy and most of their gameplanning becomes moot. I think Jones will be ready to handle an aggressive Cormier. Stuffs on deck. I think the fight stays standing but also wouldn't be surprised if Jones decided to make it a wrestling match all night too. Though he's already champ, dude likes to beat them at their own game too.

Yeah Jones always comes prepped. Aside from taking Gustafsson lightly, which nearly cost him the belt, he's, as you mentioned, stupidly efficient at utilizing his range. I see a portion of takedowns stuffed, but I also foresee DC getting at least a few. I can't fukking wait.. it's so far away smh

u guys are gonna cry when jones sticks his left hand in his face and kicks his knee all day
DC said if he sticks his arm out, it will get punched, or grabbed and dislocated.

I don't think Jones wants to do that in this fight.

The problem is DC spars with Cain who has crazy reach as well. DC is fights in overdrive THE ENTIRE FIGHT. He won't even give Jones a chance to breath and think of doing 'tricks'. He's going to do Jones like Chael did Silva in the first fight. You heard it here first.
