I wish Daniel Cormier were really that big compared to Jon Jones because then he would gently caress his world up like no other, but that would make him a super heavyweight. Also it's cool that there's a high chance by the end of this fight one of those guy's ~100% takedown defense rating is gonna go way down. Or Jones is just going to rake him in the eyes for 25 minutes and most of us will be left unsatisfied

I've been out of the UFC loop (other than the top guys/girls) for a while, which undercard fights look like they're worth seeing? I only ask because it's going to be the middle of the night here so if I can get a bit of shuteye before the good stuff starts I'd feel a lot better the next day

There's a decent chance they'll churn out some cool finishes just because there's a couple debuts (including a trashweight fight) and some lovely fighters overall, but it'd probably be enough to catch them in GIF form after the fact. The main card is dope though. e: also please put this in the op jase1 posted:I hate Jon Jones and want him to lose.

Usually only at the end of a broadcast. I don't think they've ever stopped doing that unless the time runs over. But putting prelim fights between main card fights rarely happens from recent memory; they seem to be focusing on getting to the next fight quicker which is better. From the top card I could see Marquardt/Tavares and Jury/Cerrone going the distance.

The prelims are pretty bad,especially for a ppv. Dunham/damm might be entertaining, and there is a HW fight

Oh god I'm nervous. This feels worse than Weidman/Silva 2. Someone please convince me why DC can totally win this even though history has shown that only another giant like Gustafsson can even come close to beating Jones.

Jones beat Evans but didn't crush or finish him. DC is much more powerful, tougher, a better grappler, and mentally stronger than Evans. This is the first time Jones has faced a legit threat in the grappling department.

Possibly dumb question but how much does size factor into wrestling? Does DC actually have an advantage because of a lower center of mass or something?

Most times in MMA when the world needs something to happen it eerily does. Maybe Jon Jones is a solider of Christ and he'll keep winning, but otherwise I think the time is right for him to lose and Daniel Cormier is the right guy to beat him.

If Cormier gets far enough inside Jones' reach to get his hands on Jones, odds are very good that Jones is getting dumped. The big question is if he can do that, and who each guy has fought doesn't give us a lot of solid idea as to whether he'll be able to do that.

Maybe it's because I've had the week off and all I've been doing is consuming this poo poo, but this fight is going to be huge. To be honest, the UFC more needs Bones to win here because if it does live up to expectation, Jon is on the verge of superstardom and that's something they are desperately lacking realness in at the moment. It has the same feeling as Anderson/Belfort, not the one that brought him to the dance but the one that's going to make him a legend. But it's got to be a titillating, cementing performance. They start right from the bottom with Cormier, and good ole pa's kind of close to the end of the road as it is. Jones is just hitting his stride, who isn't an awkward shitlord in their 20s, especially in uncharted territory under the magnifying glass vicariously lived through by millions who think they'd do it better on first go. He's cocky, but he's good, perhaps great, and now he has reason to not give a gently caress. Not resisting against but allowing to react to the forces of the company, the public, the opponent, himself, is how he will really flourish as a fuckin' fighter. Dropping his nervous voice is Anderson finally using his English. Punching after being chopped at the conference was the exact right thing to do. The weigh-in is his next opportunity to see if he's willing to let it go to next dimension.

Jones almost lost his belt after breaking his toe against Chael of all people. Cormier needs to wait for him to crawl across the mat and and heel stomp his hands.

Jones/Cormier seems like a fight that is going to be a 50-45 in someone's favor, but I have no idea who. I could easily see Jones staying on the outside all fight, oblique kicking the poo poo out of Cormier's legs and keeping his hands outstretched. I could also see Cormier making it inside and wrestling the poo poo out of Jones the whole time. If you had a gun to my head I'd pick Cormier to win, but who really knows. This is the best LHW fight in a long time.
