i said it in the december thread but will reiterate it here: gustaffson gave a very good blueprint on how to neutralise a lot of jon's favorite toys. dc and his entire camp will be cognizant of this. dc is a tough mother fucker and incredibly strong, but he hasn't really been tested, this leaves dc as something of an unknown quantity. he is a fat middleweight that trains as a literal, actual equal with cain velasquez. imagine if cain was fighting jon. what would your opinion be? i'm betting on jon because the odds are great, but i will not be at all surprised if cormier wins, or loses a close decision. i believe it will be a lot closer than a lot of goons predict.

also if the ref said specifically to jones close your loving hands or i'm immediately taking points, i'd bet my entire house on cormier but this won't happen so file this under goonfantasies.txt

TheCool69 posted:I feel that looking for Gustafsson fight for a blueprint is not going to help DC, since he wont have the height/reach that Gustafsson had helping him, so he cant punch over Jon's hands. The principles of what Gus laid out aren't solely dependant on height and reach. Their assets are fundamentally different but Jones is the constant. Jones has been neutralised and Cormier and his camp are aware of how, and will adapt it to his skills etched are talking about a tiny heavyweight capable of bullying heavyweights, who trains with the best heavyweight in the world. I'm not saying Cormier is comparable to Rashad or rampage, because their careers have been so different that it would be impossible. But ask me 'could Rashad or rampage bully legit top 10 heavyweights and there would be a serious question mark there. DC is unknown, and powerful, that is all.

just got home *card loving worthless except for cowboy's last 15 seconds and the main event *3 competitive rounds from dc and a slam in the 5th is a moral victory *jones a worthless shitheel that's good at fighting. i was complementing him on his lack of poking until it happened. lol

who the gently caress put hector lombard on a card that a lot of people are going to see? or nate marquardt? or brad tavares? or myles jury? josh burkman can stay because he made hector look like a loving idiot and as always the flyweights threatened to liven poo poo up but for fucks sake joe silva you had a shot here to go get some fans

Dr. Abysmal posted:Maybe Burkman could have actually even won the fight if he did stuff instead of standing there with his hands down eating shots the last few rounds this is partially why it was loving hilarious. like that shitshow ebersole put on a few years ago. whoever said burkman / ebersole should fight has my full support

Bundt Cake posted:I dont blame Cerrone but he just took the easy win there. First round you can't blame him, second round he already had the lead and did absolutely jack poo poo, third round he tried to get a little more significant edge but still didn't do much. Cerrone has wrestling, and could have used it earlier than 20 seconds to go
