Still don't know how Cormier is going to deal with Bones' reach. I don't see



Yeah but the shorter dude won that fight :smugfavre:

cormier has better head movement than most mma fighters, I think he can get close, but jones is dangerous with the elbows at close range

jones defesne looked better against texieira and he even started to use the jab with convinction in that fight, so I can see he's been working on that, and he's gonna need because he's a sucker for those over hand rights, machida and gus caught him with those, one machida rocked him with and the other one gus cut his eye with, so he will need to watch out because cormier can throw the over hand pretty well

I'm genuinely intrigued.

Fight could be a total wash either way because both cats are great at their particular strength. Jones could keep him honest and at bay all night with oblique kicks and elbows. Or Cormier get ahold of and smother him like him and Cain like to do to folk. I'm so happy I'm not a betting man

How is Jones off his back. If I had to bet I would take Jones. The length is just so much of an advantage. I remember playing ball last week and I was the tallest one there by 5" at least. I was so comfortable out there. Won every game . I think Jones just has better tools to use. Respect to the underdog factor and all.
