Three-to-one for DC over Jones in this poll? I think a lot of those are "wish" votes rather than "believe" votes.

There's been an awful lot of smack-talking and heat between those two. What happens when Jones inevitably beats Cormier and walks out with the belt still in his hands? Does Cormier acknowledge that Jones is the better fighter, or does he make excuses, or does he just make vague noises about going back to the drawing board? For that matter, what does he do if he wins? Does he do one of those annoying suddenly-gracious fakey about-faces, or does he gloat and keep stoking the fire?

On Chael's podcast, DC made a really good point that when Chael bumrushed Jones he kind of looked scared and threw shots without looking. There were moments in the Gus fight where he did the same thing, so DC is probably looking to bully his way inside and then keep the pressure on.

I don't have any doubts that Cain would take down Jones and loving maul him if they ever fought.

My inclination is to think that DC will have at least one other strategy going in addition to the bumrushes. If Jones has shown anything, it's that he's good at adjusting to an opponent's strategy and finding a way to win, even if he's made uncomfortable.

I can't remember a single adjustment Jones has ever made in a fight where his opponent found success early on.

Against Vitor he got his arm tweaked but consistently applied pressure until Vitor's brain broke, per usual.
Against Chael he took him down and then realized he really was a better fighter than a middleweight non-champion.
Against Gus he only started finding success as Gus started slowing down.
