Daniel Cormier: “Jones Won’t Win The HW Title”

[Zebra Cheeks]

“I believe that Jon Jones will fight at heavyweight, and he’ll fight for the belt, but he’ll lose to Ciryl Gane or Francis Ngannou,” said Cormier. “And I just think that the time away, with the weight difference, and those guys being who they are, that’s the problem.

“It’s not that Jones has gotten worse – it’s just that these guys are a different level of heavyweight.”

Edit: Bisping claims DC is letting the rivalry with Jon skew his judgement

Does this shit have levels?

Incoming Picto tweet storm.

I think he'd lose to those guys too but I doubt he'll fight at HW.

 

[TRUS8888]

He can't win the HW title if he never fights.

I'm surprised DC is even giving Jones the benefit of doubt and assuming he fights Ngannou/Gane to begin with.

 

[mma sharingan]

you know Cormier is wishing someone sleeps Jones at HW if he ever fights there.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Yeah I imagine it’s actually impossible to win the HW title if you refuse to fight in the division. What an observation. Jones is a duck.

I hope you didn't beat your wife over them >.>

I would be hyped if somehow D.C. came out of retirement and Jon does make it to fighting at heavy weight. Let's say Jon loses to Nganno or Game and then fights d.c. trying to redeem himself and gets cracked by d.c.

Jones loses to Francis and Cyril, but DC gets wrecked by all three.

[Volador]

Well, he'll never fight for it, so yeah.

Dream Scenario for DC:
Jones wins the Heavyweight Championship by split decision and calls DC a jelly belly.
DC comes out of retirement on late notice and KOs Jones and retires as Champion.

 

[JimmyKey v1.6]

I thought this was gonna be a quote from a few years ago. No shit Jones isn’t gonna be fighting at HW let alone AW (any weight)

 

[javjacob]

Jones will get KTFO by Gane or Ngannou.

 

[HNIC215]

I think Jon gets another failed DT, DUI or felony case before he gets the strap at HW.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Jones not going to HW to fight Cormier says it all.

I agree. Against Big Frank, just look how difficult it was for Stipe to engage in any sort of grappling in the rematch, and that's against an opponent he had already 50-44'd with pretty much all wrestling. Now try to imagine JJ being anymore successful than a natural HW. He's definitely not striking with him. Jon is better, but he gets hit on the feet, one club from Francis and you're staring at the ceiling.

Cyril is a more winnable fight, simply because he's lighter and JJ is a much better grappler, but Cyril has such great distance management that I doubt JJ gets him down. Plus he'll be eating jabs on the way in. Both fights ultimately end in a finish or dominant decision for the natural HW's. That's without me even taking into account Jon's time off. He's better off retiring or attempting to become a 3 trine LHW champ.
