Jones is going to expose DC something g serious
Expose i doubt it. Cormier will hit Jones harder then hes ever been hit before and he will take jones down. Jones will more then likely get taken down trying to take jones down and definately up against the cage. The fight cant stay in the center of the ring forever friend. Cormier also has no quams counter punching against strikers. Dont be shocked if Jones tries to work bjj from the bottom and just gets pounded on.

Where are you guys getting that DC is easily going to get within Jones reach and dominate? He will be lucky if he gets Jones down after a few elliptical knee kicks. And thinking DC will be able to hold someone as long and strong as Jones down for lengths at a time. :dead:

Jones is lanky, and his legs will be open season.

Jones has no power in his hands so his defenses will be easy to penetrate.

Cormier in exchanges has serious power and has potential to really hurt jones standing to the body and with uppercuts from the clinch.

HIs kicking is the biggest threat to cormier.

He cannot out wrestle cormier

Against the cage cormier will give him problems.

Cormier has no problems counter punching and looking for takedowns in the face of striking and actually transitions nicely into takedowns from strikes. He is not to be underestimated.

The most DC will be able to to do is grab and leg try for a drag which Jones can easily scramble out of

Jones makes up for in power with a variety of unorthodox strikes, something DC hasn't seen fighting Cummings, Roy, or Mir

His kicks will easily stifle and frustrate DC just like so many previous opponents before him

DC is not going to cut off the cage against Jones. Just stop it.


You are really gassed up against DC smashing on below average comp for the past two years. Talking about Jones like hes George Roop or Stefan Struve

Why can't DC cut the cage off against Jones, reach is overrated in MMA, if your close enough to punch someone then they are close enough to take you down
Jones hasn't fought anyone who can do that to him, Cormier is probably the only man who can, and most likely will

I like that Jon is motivated for this fight.

Jon was dissing Dan Henderson when he was scheduled to fight him, but fought Chael Sonnen instead who is a middleweight, same as Vitor
machida fights at MW now, see the pattern, Cormier as a legit heavyweight contender, this is jones biggest test

cormier is intelligent and confident just like Jones, this is the most I've looked forward to an MMA match ever

People gotta stop downplaying the range efficiency on Jones. Someone actually said the lankiness was a vulnerability, lol. It doesn't matter if Cormier gets past Jones fists, theres a standing elbow strike waiting to rock him.

I'm actually pumped to hear Jones talking about opening people up. It's been a while since he wanted to drop some 'bows. I can see Cormier just run out of options once his takedowns get neutralized. Maybe a punches chance. Get outclassed in the octagon brehs.

Bones knows.

DC won't cut off the cage because Jones won't allow him. This isn't flatfooted Mir/Nelson. Reach is overrated if your are George Roop getting KO'd every fight when you the tallest fighter in your division. tBut not a single person outside Gus has proven they can neutralize Jones reach standing for an extending period of time. You can downplay his opponents all you want. But those guys are all former champs/top five/and still good. DC has been beasting on cans, gatekeepers, fighters who've been getting increasing calls to retire, etc I'll go with the proven commodity until further notice. You will see Sept 27th

Gus didn't neutralize his reach, and Gus was able to hit jones because he has skills with his hands that most MMA fighters don't have, cormier wouldn't have get hit with a lot of those punches he caught jones with

It's not downplaying the competition, they are few elite fighters in MMA period, Jons fights everybody there is too fight
henderson was suppose to fight jon for the belt that should tell you all there is to know, shogun was washed up ever since he got to the UFC, machida lost to rampage for goodness sakes, Jones has always been a step above all the comp

there's nobody in the Light heavyweight division who can test cormier except jones, this will go down as the greatest fight in MMA history

Cormier was in line or the Heavyweight title, he's legit, Roy Nelson could beat everybody in the Lightheavy weight division maybe even jones, size matters

Machida caught Jons with an over hand right, Gus caught jones with an overhand right, if cormier lands an overhand right jones is tasting the canvas, that's what makes this fight exciting, we have someone who can physically hurt jones with a single shot

reach is not a factor in MMA, because if he slips one punch, misses one kick, its an opening for him to shoot in for the take down

if jones was a pro boxer he could use his reach to land one finishing blow, but he's not

Nobody's saying Jones will lose, but to act like Cormier is not the best opponent his face is ridiculous

He's one of the best. I've been following dc since strike force I am a fan. Jones has faced better competition and the reason why people think dc is the. "Best" opponent is because of his Olympic wrestling which is all fine and dandy but he's not gonna rag doll jones on top of that for him to really have a shot at beating jones is at hw with a healthy knee. Cormier isn't built to fight at 205 dude had kidney failure trying to drop weight in the Olympics. He's a bigger dude and he would do damage there. Jones may not have ko power in his fists but it's his kicks and elbows that will do the trick. I think it's 70-30 in favor of jones if it was at hw 55-45 in favor of jones. I see jones hitting Cormier with a couple of straight lefts to the dome tho I'm not gonna totally rule out his fists. But I think he will use his punches as a measuring stick to throw out some lunging elbow strikes. Quote me on the night of sept 27th

I'm not saying dc is above Gus or machida when jones fought him. He's on par with both of them. They all have different strengths and weaknesses though. Heck I think rashad pre curse black zillions gives dc a fit.

Machida can't beat Cormier anyway posible he would get finishd, Gus would be a closer fight, but cormier is better
rashot, is finished,

jones will be tested and will need all his skills in this fight, he looks to be as big as he ever looked, which is good thing for him, I know he's been preparing for DC for some time

Re read what I said. No one is talking about current rashad or machida.
