Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier 2

[Jtbny]

This fight card is good and this fight, if anything like the first, should be pretty good.

My heart says Cormier but my head says Jones. Cormier has run through the division and IMO needs this win to legitimize the title. Jones has been out for a while and who knows how the time off will effect his timing ect. THIS is the fight of the year, IMO, not that circus coming up in August.

So who ya got?

cliffs on the first fight

[Karl_Hungus]

I want Cormier to win, but unfortunately, I think Jones will probably win.

[2stepmurder]

Jones by UD is what I'm expecting
cormier by KO is what I'd like to see
or Jones by flying gogoplata lolol

[ajdahlheimer]

Jones. You watch the guy manage distance and out strike his opponent, while all the while forgetting the guy actually comes from an amateur wrestling background. Cormier is a legit fighter, but I think Jones' oblique kicks will make him think twice about going for his bread and butter take-downs.

Exactly this. There are some other good fights, too, like Woodley, Cyborg, Lawler and Manuwa.

Been a while since Lawler has fought, after getting KTFO by Woodley. I would like to see him come back and give Woodley a good fight. Lawler didn't seem like his fierce self in that fight.

Lawler and Cowboy should be a good slug-fest.

[MrNismo]

Damn can't wait for this one. Don't really care whether it's Jones or Cormier as long as it's a good fight!

I haven't seen Cyborg fight yet other than highlight vids so hoping this lady Tonya puts up a good fight.

Cerrone and Lawler should be awesome assuming they are both healthy. This is the fight I'm probably most excited for.

We are in sync again.

Ok, picking Cormier. Hard to bet against Jones, but I would have to think Cormier learned something from last time and made some adjustments. Not sure if reduced creatine use will factor in as well. Plus, heard something about a new rule that you can get point deducted for the very first eye-poke. If true, that could be significant.

I was thinking this as well. They made it illegal to extend your fingers toward the other guy's face. I'm pretty sure they made the rule specifically because of Jon Jones. That was one of his favorite tactics, so they're taking away one of his best weapons.

I wonder if Cormier will need a towel to make weight. I'm going in the bush and won't see the fight until next week, really looking forward to Cowboys fight as well as Cyborgs.

Lol, good one.

[ChazWood]

Wow. Brutal.

I think the next logical matchup for Jones has to be Cyborg.

[Karl_Hungus]

Wow. Brutal.

I think the next logical matchup for Jones has to be Cyborg.

Would like to see Gus, but the UFC is getting out of the fight business in favor of goofy sideshows. So my guess is that Jones/Lesnar is next.

I was not impressed with Cyborg's performance considering her opponent.

WTF was up with Cormier's behavior after the fight?

He didn't know what happened and so he thought Big John stopped the fight early. Once he saw the replay, he knew the stoppage was legit. You gotta give the guy a break though -- He just got knocked out from a kick to the head. It is normal to be a little confused after a concussion.

Yes, a rematch with Gus makes the most sense for Jones next. Lesnar's got 6 months left on his suspension which has been suspended while he's "retired".

It was a good stop. A few more of those hits, and unnecessary, irreparable damage gets done. Might have anyway.

I actually thought it could have been stopped sooner, but I don't blame Cormier for thinking otherwise. He was still confused from the concussion.

[Jtbny]

DC being 38 I wonder if this is the end for him.

Jones calling out Lenser is such a money grab on his part and Broc isn't even on his skill level. Not a fight I'd really care too much about and its a lose lose for BL regardless. I'd be surprised if he'd even take it (unless the money is just that damn good) but who knows.

Jones basically said this during the post-fight press conference. He would never fight Stipe because he isn't a big enough name and can't bring in the same money as a Brock Lesnar fight.

[Karl_Hungus]

DC's got to be totally demoralized with no place to go...

he probably beats everyone else at 205 but it looks like he'll never get a third shot at Jones...

maybe it's time he moves on to Bellator.

You think he could do middleweightt?

Doubt he'd move with his on air TV gig w/ the UFC though.

Ahh ya didn't get a chance to watch it. It's obvious though and if this is the way the UFC is heading now w/ match-ups they can have it.

[Karl_Hungus]

IMO Stipe vs Jones would be much bigger !

Agreed -- would be interesting to see how Jones would do against a guy like Stipe. That would be a great match up.

I don't get the impression DC could make 195 much less 185..

Yeah, I completely forgot about towel-gate.

I don't like it, but it is what it is.
