Like many of you, I just rewatched Cormier vs. Jones and I also took a fresh look at Cormier vs. Gus.
I have to say that I found a new level of respect for him just based on his guts and tenacity alone.
Think about this: Jones has an 84.5 reach, Gus has a 79 inch reach.
CORMIER HAS A 72 INCHE REACH!!! Just to land shots on these guys, he's literally leaping in and out like little Mac...
The dude's reach is like a LW's. And he held his own on his feet with both Bones and Gus--even got the better of Gus at range sometimes. Gus was literally running to get away from him.
He's not gonna beat Jones, but I'm sure he's gonna put up a hell of a fight.
