Will Jon Jones take down Daniel Cornier?

[Stixx]

If Cormier can contest it, no. But he can take him down if he catches Cormier off guard. Then he will proceed to ground and pound him. Cormiers stamina and ground game isn't the best in the world and Jones is a predator.

Seriously, why do some people keep saying that Cormier has bad stamina? And his ground game is bad? Based on what?

 

[IIIIIIII]

i really believe that dc is going to go after jones like cain did against jds. he is going to go right at jones, and either strike or clinch. i don't think that jones can stop cormier's takedowns. those two are on different levels, and this fight will show it.

the real fight to make in the ufc is cain vs. dc. but that's not going to happen.

When Machida Fans Are Still Salty




A Novel


By Liverpool

Woah woah woah dont get us Machida fans involved with the Jones-hate club and their hyperbolic foolishness

 

[xupacabra]

Jon's not a 42 year old trt patient or a part time fighter/full time coffee fetcher. He's gonna smash Danielle's face in.

LOL ouch.. Kind of think the same way while far from being Jones' fan

 

[LongSlenderBody***]

I don't think he'll even try it. Jones has that one two eye poke down to a science now. He'll use that to maintain range until DC closes said range, pins him up against the cage then ragdolls him worse than he did to Hendo. It's not going to be a fun night for fans of Jonny Bones.

I can't wait.

Possible. Very possible.

When two top wrestlers fight it rarely comes down to the wrestling.

Chances are most of the fight will be on the feet and Cormier's going to have real problems closing the range.

 

[YukisHeart]

DC has been taken down, by low-level guys pre-Strikeforce.

He has also struggled to take other people down on occasion, particularly Mir.

Jones will be a challenge.

Evidence?

 

[judochop87]

the truth is coming, WAR DC

 

[ConditFan]

He plays to his opponents strengths? No he doesn't. He try to take everyone down. He is just more successful on some. He took vitor down in the first round and bloodied him. He couldn't take rashad down even though he tried. He wont take cormier down.

 

[Bob Gray]

Yes. Not at will, but I do think within 5 rounds he can get him down.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

He can try but this will happen.

So maybe the right question is whether Jones will go for two?

 

[Greco_Wiz]

I wouldn't be overly surprised if he lands one or two throughout the five rounds. I don't think he'll do much with them though. Cormier will pop right back up.

Uh, no.

 

[LGVB]

He can't take DC down.

Evidence?

I'm not saying he was getting double-legged like a chump or anything, but I seemed to recall him spending some (very brief) time on his back against Tony Johnson.

Having checked the footage, it turns out I was wrong -- but Johnson did come very close to landing a TD.

I think the far superior Jones is capable of getting one, and I certainly think his TDD will be as good as Mir's.

DC's Olympic credentials don't render him invulnerable; look at what's happened to Romero (who is more accomplished) in some of his fights.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very much rooting against Jones -- but trying to be realistic.
