Cormier's poor kick deffence will be downfall vs Jones

[markys00]

Na I heard it somewhere else first

 

[Alexandergreat3]

Cormier might have improved his kick defense since then, but excellent observation, TS!

 

[Adamant]

Nah, DC got this.

 

[7th]

if DC had that position, Jones would end up in the 4th row

 

[PivotPunch]

Yeah I think the same

Wait, when did we start talking about Yoel Romero?

The same guy that got taken down at will by a gassed Derek Brunson, sheeeit.

TS you posted pretty much 5 gifs of well defended kicks, you know?

He had taken about no damage from those.

It may very well be true that Jones can win by kicks, but those aren't very good examples.

Good thread. I see DC getting dismantled with kicks. I dont even see Jones using any punches. Front kicks, knee kicks, liver kicks, side kicks, head kicks. All while staying in the outside and DC trying to chase him. I'd say Cain would find a way to grab a hold on Jones but DC is much more methodical and slower.

 

[FallonFoxGOAT]

lol - exaggerate much?

Considering people have KO'd themselves on slams, injured themselves throwing strikes, or the famous 'Hello Japan' moment, I hardly think DC's "fails" rank among the most epic.

Notice how I used the word "awesome" and not "epic" or "greatest"

I don't think DC plans to stand with Jones, at range to take kicks. It'll be about whether DC can get inside and clinch or I assume ideally for DC, take him down.

 

[Firestarter101]

No way Bones lands kicks. Just everyone else happened to succesfully land kicks on DC. :/

 

[skobydog]

As long as DC's his eye-poke defense is up to par he'll be fine.

That's some Steven Seagal shit right here folks !

Well deffended????


I take it your trolling

Anytime you take a low kick and it results with you hopping on one leg trying to recover your ballance, you twirling in a circle or one of your legs being kicked from under you, then clearly you didnt deffend well

And if you think that last kick was deffended well, you really need your eyes checked

And its not just about damage had his opponents followef up with anything while he was twirling and hoping around it wouldve been a bad night 4 him

Only someone who doesn't have a clue would say he was in danger after any of those kicks. Rushing a great wrestler who is moving backwards and somewhat unpredictably would be a rookie mistake though.

DC doesn't have to worry about chicken legs, perhaps just be careful about those oblique kicks.

I mean, even Holly Holm was dwarfing bones' chicken legs with here muscle quads:

It would be awesome if Cormier got front kicked to the face by Jones. I have never seen Cormier deliver a good kick and I don't think that is a very good part of his arsenal.

Anytime your base is disrupted your in danger

The kicks may have not had him limping, but twirling around like that and hopping on one leg trying to recover your ballance can be very dangerous if your opponent follows up that leg kick with something

And the fact is he got hit.Over a period of time kicks will take theyre toll

I definitely noticed that Mir's body kicks were landing and DC wasn't liking them at all. Jon may not go for many body kicks dude to the TD threat though, whereas Mir was probably encouraging the TD to work his BJJ.

I think Jon's kicks are more speed than power, but they will all add up throughout the fight and I could see him wearing DC down.

Yeah, I noticed that with Mir too.

The thread starter does have a good point.
