I'm so glad social media has given these dudes a platform to expose themselves :why:

Right. As much as I like non trying to fight in weight classes he can't make Rumble. DC is gonna be a pretty tough task for him because Rumble doesn't have the reach to keep him at bay like Jones did. And I can't see DC being dumb enough to stand with Rumble
Cormier only ever did good against slow unathletic guys. Rumble was a JUCO champion same as Jon Jones and he has excellent takedown defense.

I hope Jon gets the help he needs and comes back to finish an already great career. This is the best thing for him right now, some of the shyt I've seen online regarding Jones is disgusting but cacs gon cac. Rumble vs DC is a much different fight but I still think Anthony has an excellent chance of winning this.

When does Roy fight again? I have a sudden urge to see him get his ass kicked.

It's not so much about DC not being dumb enough to stand and bang, its about Rumble's ability to pressure and corner his opponent.

That's a tough ass fight. I can't call it just yet.

Game planning and execution are going to be major

Yep and I trust Blackzillians to come up with a better gameplan than AKA will
