Dethroning the King - Official UFC 182: Jones vs Cormier Thread [Jan. 3]

[curz]

its going to be a great fight

can dc overcome the jones winspan?

Thats whats gonna be the deciding factor

One thing I know for sure, if you train with Cain then gotta be able to match his pace and thats a insane pace. So I expect DC to work his ass off and pressure Jones probably even more than Gus did.

He's not just gonna sit back and stalk Jones and get picked apart

everybody has a plan until they get kicked in the knee by jones and get a face full of his hand


early on i expect him to press jones but can he keep it up later in the fight?

 

[theflyest]

I really don't give a fukk who wins. I just want a great fight. It's hard not to edge Jones though

 

[Medulla Oblongata]

I really hate that MMA threads have to be buried in this subforum no one goes to.



Anyways this gif is hilarious

Everybody doesnt train with a relentless maniac like Cain though. And Jones has no KO power so I cant see DC being scared to stay in Jones face and bang, thats the kinda fight I think he wants.

Get inside, grab that boney motherfukker and try to flip him

Jones gotta keep distance imo

cain isnt as athletic as jones and he will keep the fight at distance

early on i expect cormier to press and if he fails i think he'll be discouraged and jones just wins on points

I dont know what kind of athletic ability you're talking about but..... I think Cains faster, stronger, has more endurance and is more explosive than Jones is. So I cant cosign your initial point at all.

I think Jones is gonna try to keep it at a distance but I cant see anyway he's gonna discourage him unless he really hurts him and I thik Jones is gonna have to meet him head on to do that. If he doesnt seriously hurt DC then I think DC will chase him the entire fight and Jones will win on points

Edit: He's training with Seagal

 

[JahFocus CS]

All aboard the Cormier War Wagon He'll have that strap in about 72 hours

 

[Medulla Oblongata]

How would y'all see Cormier/Gustafsson going?

cain only looks faster and explosive because of who hes fighting. just like cormier looks like a freak going against those stiffs in the heavyweights

we've seen many fighters get discouraged by the hand in the face and kicks to the knees. its one thing to talk about it then do it.
i expect cormier to come out guns blazing but what happens if he gets stuffed? thats the real question

No Cain looks fast and explosive because Cain is fast and explosive.

I just cant see DC quitting, his heart is proven. Rampage, Rashad, and whoever else already had questionable heart before they got discouraged against Jones. Theres no evidence to suggest DC got that type of bytchassness in him

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I fully expect dc to grapple with jones. Cain's gas tank is legit for a heavyweight. The thing is dc has never faced anyone with the type of unorthodox skill set jones has. Especially with the length and quickness. I do believe who ever closes the distance wins believe it or not jones rather fight from the inside than outside cause he his boxing is still funky in my opinion.

 

[Dragonfly Jones]

cant wait


then Silva/DIAZ a few weeks later


then Floyd Manny in May


Broner might get a rematch with Marcos Maidana


best fight year in a long time
