the reach disadvantage is real, once jones starts putting his hand in his face thats when reality hits cormier

i expect it to be a good fight but it might be like that rashad fight

He a wrestler though, he gonna shoot in after jon goes for a strike anyway, and jon isn't a great striker he's just unorthodox

if the would developed his boxing Jon would be unfukkwitable even at heavyweight

Frank Mir has a 79 inch reach, he fought Antonio Silva who is 6'4 with an 82 in reach, Jon has like 84.5 inch reach

what's crazy though Is Roy Nelson has a 73 inch

Daniel Cormier has a 72.5 reach and Floyd Mayweather's reach is 72 inches

 

[Master Teacher]

And it could be argued that Jones is facing opponents much smaller then him

weight is weight, UFC really needs to have a Super Heavyweight division, but most of the heavyweights are still smaller than jones if he moves up, and less skilled

Light Heavyweight division is the toughest division

If Cormier connects to jones chin lights go out in Georgia

i expect a great fight

He ain't mastered if he did he'd be unstoppable, he usually uses his kick has a jab, first time I seen him throw a jab was against Glover, and wasn't pretty lol but it at least him stuck he with it, he's other punches looked good tho and he moved good in the exchanges, I could tell he worked on that, because that's area where Gus was able to give him problems and why he got cut so earlier in that fight which threw him off his game

if he mastered the jab I would agree with you, but kicking against daniel might not be the best idea

I'm interested in seeing how jon contends with him even if Daniel can't take him down or keep him down, it's still gonna be a good fight on the feet

i think you'll see that front kick to the knees and thats it. hes gonna force cormier to lunge in to hit him and probably try to take him down as well. i wanna see how he does on the ground vs him on top. its gonna be a great fight, the fight i wanted to see in the first place

As long as Cormier don't reach out his hands and try to place mercy with this nikka like rashard did, I don't see the reach being too much of a factor, unless Jon's hands have become that much better from his last fight, and cormier can't take him down

[The Infamous]

If he beats Cormier and Gus, he'll have the best UFC resume/accomplishments (and this is coming from a huge Anderson fan).

Slightly off topic but DC is even smaller than people realize. Saw a pic of dude at 217lbs and he still had a gut

hes listed at 5'11 but hes probably 5'10

reach will be a huge issue

 

[The G.O.D II]

Until he holds that belt for 7 years, hes not passing Silva(and this coming from someone who not a Silva fan)
