Cormier looks like a pygmy next to Jones

[Sherm]

Jones uses his reach to keep opponents from fighting at a middle distance. He uses his elbows and greco to keep them from fighting inside.

Cormier won't be scared of the greco, but I could see him getting wrecked by elbows since his eyebrows are about even with Jones' shoulder height. Should be a great fight though.

 

[bloodyknuck]

Cause he has more heart and he will, take a punch to land one, and he hit Much harder than Jones, having knocked out heavyweights. Jones could pick him apart, but make no mistake, he is getting taken down at some point in the fight.

Like my friend's father used to tell us....

"They're all the same size laying down"

Bet the house on cormier

You mean pygmy hut.

 

[foxtail]

Jones doesn't have KO power, so it's not that riskyto close the distance, unless he eats a flying knee like Shogun ate!

 

[phatron]

Yes, and I'm sure He looked tiny next to

Bigfoot Silva
Josh Barnett
Frank Mir
Patrick Cummins

should have used roy nelson or jeff monson instead of cummins

 

[Mr. Hammer]

Sonnen is 6'1 and he had no issue closing the gap

Lol yeah, what a successful effort on Sonnen's part.

 

[Kote Gaeshi]

dc is not chael

Bet the house on cormier

No man, bet $100 on Jones and $100 on Cormier. You can't lose that way. I read it in another thread.

 

[machidafan99]

Yeah and every guy under 6' will probably cheer for him.
DC will own Jones but I hope no on gets injured or cut badly. I'm just looking for an air born slam or two.

 

[ilfirin]

He sure had big problems with those clearly smaller heavyweights he used to fight... oh wait.

 

[The_Renaissance]

The size difference will be a big factor, definitely. Jones uses his length much better than big HWs like Silva and Barnett, and unlike those two he can actually strike.

I just cannot see Cormier doing it, but I'll be rooting hard for him, division needs a shake up and Cormier winning would definitely do that.

 

[Sdeev]

We know one thing for sure, Jones has a healthy brain so he's not getting knocked out easy. He also has a rock solid will and he's not going to give up easy. Take into account his skills both in striking and wrestling, he's just an extremely hard nut to crack for anyone in any weight division.

I am sure Cormier has the ability to win but the only thing that is going to be his undoing is if he gives up. If he doubts himself even a little bit, it would be over for him.

 

[ib313]

How is he gonna get inside on the man with the most OP reach in MMA?

Pygmies are often headhunters.

Sonnen is deceptively fast

Bigfoot aint no bitch in the standup departement. He did outstrike Hunt early and koed browne and reem

He outstruck Arlovski in their 1st fight too, IIRC.
