Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones
Daniel Cormier (+210) has a legitimate claim to being the very best technical wrestler to ever grace the Octagon. The former Olympian is about controlling his opponent and grinding out victories in the most barbarous way possible. “DC” is a chain-wrestling specialist who works his finest when he puts his opponent on the cage and can just chip away. In the clinch, he could work his strikes or use a multitude of takedowns to get on top of his competitor. And when Cormier is at the top, he clamps down on his opponent quickly, fluidly alterations and completely suffocates them.
The game that is striking is still very meat-and-potatoes for Cormier, but it’s effective. He moves ahead behind his jab and leg kicks, he uses very well to battle larger than his small-for-the-division framework. He doesn’t exactly sport amazing knockout ability within his hands but his developing striking game is constructed to feed into his grappling.
Jon Jones (-270) is excellent at each aspect of the battle game, but his best physical attribute comes thanks to his freakishly long reach. His long arms give him the ability to chip off throughout the bout while periodically moving in to hit crushing shots in close, usually along with his elbows. This leads to another area of dominance in the former champ; the clinch. His span is an unbelievable advantage in tight and Jones has developed the specialized ability to leverage that to devastating strikes.
One of the most intriguing aspects for Jones has ever been his flexibility. During his career, we’ve seen him challenge his competitors with their strengths and still end up victorious. This, clearly, was most notable when he outwrestled and outgrinded Cormier within their very first meeting.
So long as we get the Jon Jones of older, he should easily win this fight. In his prime, nobody can touch Jones and he was probably the best fighter to step inside a cage. If he seems anywhere as mediocre as he did in his final fight against Ovince Saint Preux, Cormier will eat him alive. Until someone beats”Bones,” you can not pick against him.
