Shifting gears for a second and going back to weight cutting in lieu of Gina Carano - has there been any word about her coming to the UFC at all I haven't seen anything official? Also, any recommended fights to watch of hers so we can see what potential she has? I have missed out on the majority of her career and don't know what she has done that is cool in terms of whooping rear end.

What you're seeing is exactly what happens when GSP retires from the sport and Jake Shields is let go. We used to just talk about gay bathtubs and horse jokes now it's gonna be smv, orange girls, bad squat form and breast discussions forever

This is why UFC events should never be cancelled. We would have spent today talking about how great it was watching Jose Aldo get another knockout. instead it's been this

I think Cormier is the most intriguing matchup Jones could have other than Gus for obvious reasons. Cormier is a tubby little wrestle puncher who has exhibited being able to toss a bitch to the side.

Looking over the record Cormier is the best wrestler he's faced by far right? I mean chael is/was good but he's a fat middleweight. I heard rashad had good wrestling "for mma". I want to believe though.

From what we have seen he is levels above either. I'm actually struggling to think of anyone I've seen with such dominant wrestling in mma. GSP in his prime maybe.

Rashad's MMA wrestling is really great. Phil Davis might not be a complete MMA fighter, but Rashad just completely schooled him at wrestling, his major strength. There's also that gif of the Rampage takedown. (There's more than that but Rashad was a cool wrestler.)

Cain is a really good wrestler but there's just this effortlessness about Cormier's wrestling. Like if he touches you, you're going down, and you're probably going to get ragdolled.

Did Rashad even try to take Jones down or was Jones effective enough at stopping him? I only remember him going for like 2 takedowns the whole fight but I haven't watched it since so am probably wrong.

I haven't watched it in a while but I seem to remember that everytime they clinched Rashad was way more interested in avoiding elbows/knees then he was in wrestling. I don't remember who initiated the clinch though. Jones pulled guard at the very end because why the gently caress not.

A whiny TNA fan on twitter was asking why pro wrestling gets lumped together with MMA when MMA cannot provide the spectacle, promos, drama and in ring action of pro wrestling. I could only thing of one piece of evidence to refute him:

Cormier being a lesser Cain means he's likely to be Jones' biggest test so far, in my opinion. I think you have to make Bones favourite based on everything we've seen him do in the past, but him wrestling him and controlling him on the mat for the majority of the fight wouldn't be surprising to me.
If I had to hash out a prototype for beating Jones, a wrestling prodigy coming down from the heavies is the archetype I'd pick and that's what Cormier is. Cain would definitely splatter Jones all over the octagon, but I think Cormier can get the W in this fight.

rashad went on and on about how he was a better wrestler than jones and he'd outwrestled jones in practice and then decided to 'mix it up' by getting punched and kicked for an entire fight

i don't know how much of what he said was true or applicable but

As far as actual odds Jon Jones is only a -165 favorite in the DC fight. These are the lowest odds he's had as champion and the lowest since he was an underdog against Stephan Bonnar at UFC 94.

Cormier Hulk Hogan body slammed Josh Barnett. Jones is not going to win by outwrestling him. I see this going a lot like Jones vs. Rashad, but maybe I'm underestimating Cormier's ability to close the distance.

Speaking of baristas, Cummins said he'd like a fight with Rumble because he thinks he can "weather the storm" and test Johnson's cardio (Which I didn't think was an issue in the Phil Davis fight, but whatever, Cummins ain't too bright)

"There are fighters in America who can drink on Friday and Saturday. After an event I saw it myself in the hotel. 80-percent of them are already drunk.

And they were like 'Come on, we know two Muslims and they visit the clubs with us all the time!' I have tried to explain them, that a Muslim is not ideal, but Islam is. Alcohol and girls stand in a way of an athlete, they spoil him and make him weak."
