Marching Powder posted: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 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. I'm thinking that this fight will look more like the Rashad/Rampage fights where Jones neutralised their strengths and in rampages case left him puncing air.

Marching Powder posted: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. This was a good post. Thank you. Btw some jokester made this picture. Childish i know.

Lombard was talking about fighting Matt Brown on the Australian card and Dana said he was interested on the idea. This was before the fight though.
