This will be over so quickly. Jon Jones is so much more advanced that OSP. I get it, they had to try to save the card, but this is one of the more lopsided match ups I've seen.

OSP couldn't even handle Bader, this should be easy work for Jon.....

MMA is a wild sport, DG.


- Jones stopped Bader in 2 - 3 rounds in 2011
- Jones beat Cormier over 5 rounds in Jan. 2015
- Jones has been off since then
- Cormier has defeated Johnson (in 2 - 3 rounds) and Gustaffson (great 5-rounder last fall) since then
- Jones-Gustaffson was a great 5-round title fight 2 - 3 years back
- Johnson kicked Gustaffson's ass in 2 - 3 minutes
- Johnson stopped Bader in 1 - 2 minutes
- Bader won a unanimous 5-round decision over OSP in recent years
- OSP KO'd Shogun Rua in 30 seconds in recent years
- Jones-Cormier II was supposed to be happening in 3 weeks ... instead it's been delayed until the summer or fall at some point


Wild sport ... I'm too chicken-shit to bet on it for fear of losing $$$$$$$$$$

Dana couldnt give us a better matchup than this?

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't bet $$ on this matchup. Anything can happen but, conventional wisdom says this is a W for JJ.

No doubt. Gonna be interesting to see how JJ looks upon return later in the year. He's been so dominant during his entire UFC run. Especially those years wherein he was taking out the likes of Shogun, Rampage, Machida, Bader, Evans, and more.

[will_right]

I just hope this shit is competitive but if John sleeps on dude he could very well be in for a ring nap

 

[HeathCliff]

OSP doing better than I expected

 

[Mask]

It seems like he have mayweather type of ability just off reading y'all's comments over the years...still haven't watched one of his fights... Even tho I watch most of his Interiees
