Or he hurt his leg.

Could be that

Jon Jones has never lost or even come particularly close to losing a match. (His one disqualification was completely bullshit, an antiquated rule. You know this.) He's beaten most of the greatest light heavyweights in UFC history. Now he's facing a chubby guy whom he could pick apart with his old kickboxing style no problem. No one thinks Daniel Cormier is going to win, except maybe Daniel Cormier.

And you think Jones is ducking?

a lot of people think cormier is going to win, i've read tons of stuff where people are in his corner. Mainly non ufc fans, but a lot of ufc fans alike think cormier has some godly wrestling ability in him that he's going to win? idk i think jones is great, and will pick this guy apart. The thing is that cormier is a heavyweight and jones is light heavyweight? they think that's the difference with cormiers olympian wrestling background. from what i've read

Jon jones is going to destroy Cormier, are u guys serious? Jones reach alone is a problem, I don't think Cormier touches him

Certain · 08-13-2014, 12:44 PM

I think those people are probably more Jon Jones haters than Daniel Cormier believers.

yeah in a stand up fight its jones easily, but cormier is a wrestler o.o

u think cormiers gonna be like hey gonna go toe 2 toe with u? nah he gonan wrestle.

Wise Wiggles · 08-13-2014, 12:53 PM

Cormier has a dirty vagina

Diode · 08-13-2014, 12:57 PM

This is classic Greg Jackson shit, nerds. Pushing it 5 months has a huge impact on Cormier's training, especially with his bum knee.

Has never come close to losing a match? His original opponent for this card begs to differ.

lol @ you underestimating Cormier as a chubby guy with no lateral movement.. and I'm not even a fan of his.

ill nik-A · 08-13-2014, 01:33 PM

I know he's a wrestler, but jones is too quick, if he takes him down it'll be a problem no doubt, I just don't see it

Fart · 08-13-2014, 02:03 PM

DC can easily end Jones with one punch. Get real. He used to destroy everyone in Strikeforce HW. He probably won't but he has a better chance to finish Jones than Alex does.

Half Wit It · 08-13-2014, 02:08 PM

I doubt he's ducking..

DLB · 08-13-2014, 02:27 PM

closest dude to ending JJ was Gustaffon(idk how to spell his name)

Cormier isn't shit tho, Jones got him in every way possible. Cormier can't knock JJ out, nobody can. he not stupid enough to Anderson Silva himself(taunt opponents then get tagged) and he's too lanky for most shit in his weight class. only dude to beat him is Alexander, if even that

and he not ducking. son was just talking shit to Cormier, he gonna give that pussy hell in the cage

Fart · 08-13-2014, 02:57 PM

Lmfao.
DC could GNP Jones quite fucking easily. do you even MMA

Sorry, bad joke. Fml.

But the injury wasn't fake and when the fight is rescheduled JJ will win, but who gives a fuck really?

oats · 08-14-2014, 03:40 AM

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.
