Question I’ve kept on asking myself since Jones has come back from suspension is “Does Cormier really stand no chance against Jones?”
If you go off of the first fight, you realise that DC cannot outwrestle Jones. He can probably do this in spots, but the idea that he’ll lay on Jones is just not believable from what we’ve seen.
The only thing I keep thinking is that DC actually had to abandon that gameplan against Gustaffson and out-warred him. Now I know Jones is a hell of a lot more diverse and unpredictable that Alex, but that is definitely a confidence booster for DC. Also, remember that DC won a round against Jones, that’s 20% of the fight – and you’re talking about a Jones with a hell of a long lay-off and a pretty active DC.
Don’t get me wrong, you’d be a fool to pick DC over Jones, but I can’t help but think if there is ever a time to challenge the GOAT – it’s when he’s coming off of almost going to prison and a huge lay-off.
Does he stand any chance, no matter how small? And if he does, how can he do it?
Opinions?
