Fight? Okay I know Jon technically has a loss to Matt Hamill, but still, just curious if anyone knows.
Wat
Unlucky - WatWhy is this confusing to you.
FrankShamrocksBraces - Rashad/MachidaAh right, thank you for the answer.
FrankShamrocksBraces - Rashad/MachidaCame to post this, also I believe (although I'm not sure) this was the first time 2 undefeated fighters faced off for a title in any weight class.
ima zombie -This is correctFrankShamrocksBraces - Rashad/MachidaCame to post this, also I believe (although I'm not sure) this was the first time 2 undefeated fighters faced off for a title in any weight class.
This was back when there were still several undefeated fighters. I remember when Machida fought Thiago Silva.
Someones O has got to go.
Actually excited to see this fight happen although I don't know how Cormier does it I'll be rooting for him
damn, DC should know what he is doing since he knows first hand what happen to cain when he fought with an injury. this fight is better than no fight. can't wait
Billyz - Someones O has got to go.Same.

I know DC's wrestling is miles ahead, but I am fearing this is a very similar fight to Jones vs Hashad. Both styles are somewhat the same, except DC has better wrestling, but isnt as light on his feet.
I want DC to win, but damn, Jones range may be abit much.
And I acknowledge that DC has faced fighters with bigger reach, but Jones has had a much more consistent basis of using his reach to its full advantage, where the Heavies DC faced have not.
However, I suppose DC has also had a consistent basis of closing distance. Very intriguing fight
UGCTT_CrestRio -Doesn't jones have the longest reach? Struve is tied but DC didn't fight him. Who would of DC fought that had a longer reach?Billyz - Someones O has got to go.Same.

GROUNDnLB -Sorry about that, I meant longer reach comparatively to himself, and how he works at a distance.UGCTT_CrestRio -Doesn't jones have the longest reach? Struve is tied but DC didn't fight him. Who would of DC fought that had a longer reach?Billyz - Someones O has got to go.Same.

I may go back and watch some DC fights at HW as a refresher on this.

Didn't DC have knee surgery? Will he be 100% by the time of the fight???
I'm pretty pumped for this fight, the most interested in a fight I've been in a while.
Although Cormier is a bad man I think Jones will win this fight, nothing against Cormier he seems like a decent bloke but I'll be going for Jones in this one
stobe - Didn't DC have knee surgery? Will he be 100% by the time of the fight???Pretty sure he postponed the surgery mate, not 100% but I don't think it's a major problem just a clean up operation
UGCTT_CrestRio -I think DC is a going to be a lot more aggressive than Rashad was, i don't see DC being tentative. If I was him I wouldn't be too worried about the power in jones hands (or lack there of) more so his kicks, I hope Cormier throws a lot of leg kicks comes forward super aggressive, cuts off the cage to takedown/GnP. We saw in the Glover fight jons Dirty boxing has evolved and I'm excited for this fight in the clinch, most interesting area of the fight. Other than jones being on his back for an extended period of time ofcourse hahaBillyz - Someones O has got to go.Same.

However, I do think if DC makes it into the clinch range, he can secure the takedown. From what I have seen, he is able to bully people in the clinch very well. However, Jon Jones does have fantastic Greco, I dont see him being able to easily use it on DC like he has with others.
Clinch is a big area in this fight, but the difference in distance is gonna be the biggest part of this fight, as most JBJ fights are, besides the Gus fight I suppose.
Jones off his back however, thats going to be also interesting to see. He has displayed he has an understanding of the game off his back, if I recall, swiftly pulling Rampage into a triangle, but I think DC can outmuscle it if that happens.
50/50 on this one, and coming off Weidman/Machida, has brought that excitement back, Jones/DC, Lawler/Brown, Pettis/Melendez going to keep it going.
UGCTT_CrestRio -the main thing I would be worried about if I was DC would be closing that distance, making it a Guida esq fight. I don't really put any merit to that half ass triangle he put rampage at the end of the round, but maybe he will surprise us off his back, I just really don't see it with a wrestler like DC on top of him, his control and positioning are so good. People say jones really got his heart tested in the Gus fight but it think it would be a more testament to his heart if he gets held down, pounded on,doesn't get frustrated and gets back up to his feet. Or submit him, ala silva/sonnen1 I just don't see Jon staying cool like Silva in that same situation.ima zombie -Thats true, DC is gonna be a ton more aggressive pursuing the TDUGCTT_CrestRio -I think DC is a going to be a lot more aggressive than Rashad was, i don't see DC being tentative.

jones has been focusing on his hand fighting...wonder if that will be useful at all against DC.
I don't know JBJ wins this one because he's a tricky motherfucker...but i sure hope he gets the W.
