You can interpret it any way you want, the fact of the matter is Jones use his reach to keep those guys at bay. Esp Evans. He was able to land all types of kicks and jabs on Evans. Evans may not have the credentials Cormier has, but he has demonstrated more impressive wrestling so far then Cormier. You keep mentioning ragdolling but Cormier has only truly done that with Barnett(who he weighed just as much btw) and 195 franklinweight Hendo. Meanwhile, Evans has dominated solid wrestlers like Davis and Sonnen. But not against Jones. I just don't see Cormier making it past Jones reach.

Evans is a solid wrestler. You are acting like this is a comparison between a HS wrestler like Tate and Sara Mcmann.

No you're comparing a collegiate athlete to a fukkING OLYMPIC MEDALIST

Barnett was 250 Cormier was 238, you were wrong about that, but it doesn't matter, because it was the technique, if he gets anyone in that same position he's slamming them just like that

Sonnen is a fukking joke he's never won anything in his life

All Davis has is wrestling, and he's not as good as Cormier and he's not as strong either

Cormier is in line for a shot at the HW belt, that's a lot different than fighting a few fights at heavyweight then moving down, he climbed the heavyweight ranks, he's a legit heavyweight, he's going to have the advantage, because losing weight made him stronger and faster

We have seen time and time again that credentials and ranks mean nothing. See GSP and Pettis for quick examples. But yea. I distinctively remember in that Mir fight that once Mir actually use his reach with body kicks, Cormier wasn;t able to close in distant. Jones has more diversified strikes to keep the distance in addition to his wrestling. And hes not some slow flat footed fighter either. Keep using Barnett, Silva, and Hendo as examples of what Cormier is going to do. Neither of those guys are Jones

He whooped Frank Mir. Frank Mir landed one good body kick, Cormier was able to pressure him up against the cage and beat him up with his fast hands. He dropped Mir with a leg kick.

You realize Cormier hasn't even lost a round in MMA yet

Jones has never fought nobody as good as Cormier that's just a fact

Nobody is saying he's hendo, he treated hendo they way your suppose to do inferior comp

Like I said if Jones manages to keep Cormier at bay the entire fight and stick move somehow even though he's never shown this is the way he fights, I'd be surprised

If Cormier can't take down Jones down I will be surprisd

if Jones beat up Cormier easily I would be surprised

like I said if Jon Jones wins he will be the greatest of all time

reach has nothing to do with stopping a take down

I don't see how thats gonna stop cormier for going for his legs and taking him down

Nick wants to fight someone who isn't interested in wrestling. And well. ... He can't ask for a much better option

Silva isn't going to stand in front of him and let him wing hooks all day either. But I guess hes just in it for a payday now at this stage of his career. I wonder is Nate will come back also. We need that Cerrone rematch
