JBJ has mysterious "leg injury" - fight is off vs Cormier.

Cormier is a legitimate threat to unseat Jones tbh, but will rightfully be the underdog when fight time comes. Cormier has a mock-Velasquez fight style, which poses problems for anyone. He gets in your face and has nonstop pressure - as we saw in the Gustaffson fight, Jones on his heels is vulnerable.

That being said, his reach and striking diversity and overall superior athleticism make him a strong favorite. Cormier is significantly older and more weathered from competition, too.

I don't think Jones is ducking. UFC wouldn't let him pull out without a real injury.
