Re: UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier - Jan 3

I just re-watched DC vs. Hendo and forgot just how dominant he was in that fight. That has to be one of the most one-sided bouts I've seen.

As this fight looms closer, I'm all Cormier on this one. I'm confident he's the one that can beat Jon. I honestly think he's going to embarrass Jon...

I just dont know. On one hand, Jones has never faced a wrestler the caliber of Cormier. Both Bader and Evans are good wrestlers but seem content to strike with Jones and paid for it. Cormier wont hesitate to try to put Jones against the cage and attempt to take him down.


On the other hand....Cormier's record is a bit overrated. His biggest wins are over a shot Mir, a possibly shot Hendo, Nelson, Barnett and Big Foot. All of them are names but how many of them were actual contenders when they fought Cormier? Also Cormier's speed advantage that he had against the HWs and Hendo wont be present against Jones.

I have no idea who's gonna win this fight. I'll be cheering for DC but wouldnt be shocked if Jones stopped him.

This is probably the hardest fight to call, ever. I'm rooting for Cormier all the way, I'm gonna stay optimistic for him..

I just have a grim feeling its going to go the distance and Jones wins via judge screwup.

Havent PPVs been 60 bucks for years? I've been paying 60 for the HD version for a while now.

I haven't ordered one since Silva vs Weidman I. So, that might be the reason. Just seems too much for me to pay. I watch at Sports Bars usually now.

Wow. Seven pros pick who will win and 6/7 of them say Cormier will win.

Hendricks, Barnett, Khabib, Herrig, Varner, and Thomson all voted DC. Pettis was the only one to vote Jones.

This fight is seriously messing with my day-to-day life.

I think most just want to see Jones lose. I could be wrong though.

Not to mention, of that 7- 3 are wrestlers and another (Thomson) trains at AKA.

This.

I've never bought a PPV for UFC but I'm itching to on this one.

Re: UFC 182: Jones vs. Cormier - Jan 3

As much as I want DC to win, I just don't see Jones losing. I know this contradicts what I said in the past, but there's no denying it; Jones is arguably the greatest fighter of all-time. Hell, even Anderson called him the GOAT. I really hope DC proves me and the rest of the world wrong, but I just don't see it happening.

I heard DC say Jon couldn't dunk a basketball, so I instantly looked it up. I almost died in laughter. Dude seriously can't dunk. Even Al Horford was laughing.

I love the trash talk in this fight.
