Rumor (on twitter) Daniel Cormier is limping

[green giant]

Yeah, I thought this was the gem of the bunch

Had me rolling man.

 

[Cheapshart]

These days, when a Champ is losing the "shit talk" to the point that it's not just the belt but also his dignity/masculinity on the line, "accidents" happen.

See also Jose Aldo and Rafael Dos Anjos.

He's 37. So if this is true, his career might be pretty much over

WHAT!......Couture was a puppy at 37.....He didnt hit his stride till 47!
D.C is from the same pedigree.

He also never got any injuries.

Injuries are what mess you up as you age. Any 40 year old can be strong, some fast. Daniel Cormier can apparently be both.

No 40 year old can recover from an injury like a 25 year old can though. An injured 37 year old Cormier is bad news and probably the end.

It's amazing that he made it this far. Those knee surgeries that he was putting off always seemed like ticking timebombs to me. I always thought those LCL/ ACL issues would eventually be the end of his career.

 

[mikenason]

DC tryna keep that belt for as long as he can.

 

[Kim Jong Un]

Going limp? Anderson has a blue vial for DC.

 

[FedorRoks]

Weidman vs Rockhold II type of a thing?

 

[MadHouse]

good i rather see anthony johnson vs jj

even still we have to hope the UFC pitched the idea to Rumble to be a last minute replacement in case one of those 2 gets injured if not then MM will be the main event and the blockbuster match would be cancelled

 

[shino]

So say DC is out. How does the UFC handle this:
A) reschedule
B) Rumble vs Jones 3rd co-main
C) Rumble vs Jones 5rd main
D) Rumble vs Jones interim

 

[SmilinDesperado]

True, but I do believe that MMA is unique in this regard. Age has a bigger effect in sports where absolute speed, power, and explosiveness are necessities to being successful. You don't have to be the fastest, strongest, or most athletic to be a competitive fighter. Experience, technique, and just being fucking tough can be more than enough to win fights.

5rd main?

He's not your average 37 year old. Calm down.

 

[Guernica]

It really doesn't matter. Jones was always gonna wreck that fool.

They can recover with "help" through pharmaceuticals. TRT, HGH etc. But it's now illegal. I hate it. I hate USADA.

 

[MarloStanfield]

he wants to hold onto that belt abit longer

Are you suggesting that RDA and Aldo dropped a brick, or another heavy object, on their foot and rib cage?

 

[The real JG]

If Cormier was healthy and trained with Cain he would have won.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Don't worry guys, MM will save this card lol

Throw Rumble in if DC is hurt. I just hope DC doesn't pull Cain and calls his injury 10 days away from the fight.
