UFC 214 Jon Jones Vs Danny Cormier

Yeah you can see how he caught it several times before. Watching the last fight showed them something and they took it
I remember when I was a kid and one of my karate instructors
indicated that a proper place kick, would be the equivalent
of getting hit by a baseball bat with wind up swing.
And Jones head-kick exemplifies that analogy.
GDamn ... from the first fight in January 2015 ...
What's crazy too ... if you're fighting (street or regulated) and connect with a punch or kick ... often you don't even feel it ... it just lands so clean. You'd think you'd hurt your hand, shin, or foot ... but no problems at all. Best punch I ever landed in a street fight was one I should have broken my hand on pure chin / jaw. Nope. Hand felt good ... their face didn't ...
Right he braced for a leg kick perfectly only to have that shit come up stairs...man I was thinking he didn't even have to land those strikes...if he wanted to embrasses dude he could've just stood there and watched him fall and posed like Ali over Liston...that shit would've been epic
Jones a fool with them feet...It was tripping me out how he was able to get those kicks off so cleanly being that close...I was like, "Daniel time that shit and powerbomb the fuck outta his ass", I'm guessing that never happens in the cage like that...

Agreed. That would have been incredible if he landed that instant headkick KO like Edson B' on Terry Etim years back. Shows the toughness and fight in DC ... took the head kick ... the trip ... the body kick ... then the ground & pound to be stopped.
What's really interesting watching the evolution of MMA wrestling over the years is the adaptations that have been made. Cormier used to style on heavyweights and toss them around. He's got that division 1 / Olympic pedigree. Whereas Jones has junior college experience, and has fought lighter guys at light-heavyweight. Really interesting seeing how their styles contrast(ed) ... Jones being younger, taller, better reach & doesn't have the miles on his body like Cormier does who's almost a decade older.
Yea like that, but that did show Daniel ain't no punk bitch...
Even that chick thy caught cyborg....man imagine that gal in the bar after a bud light vs another chick or even a dude....she would keep coming

I agree with everything you've said about Dana, and disagree with almost everything you said about T-Wood.....and this is coming from a guy who desperately wants him to be a fucking octagon god. I literally was sitting at the Tilted Kilt with my buddies before this fight and said "Woodley is either gonna knock the shit out of this guy with the patented Woodley rush followed by a two punch combo, or this is going to be the most boring fight to a decision of the night". There is a reason why the entire arena was booing this fight and the reason was it was not entertaining. Unfortunately, this is his style and its only gotten more pronounced as he has become more successful. He's essentially a one trick pony that is so absurdly athletically gifted that his one trick has brought him the championship. Like I said, I agree with your criticism of Dana but what I will give him credit for is calling out boring fights, or fighters. He has been mad consistent with that, with the exception of GSP, but I may be in the minority with my GSP criticisms... Dana has always been a huge proponent of guys getting out there and putting on a good show for the fans. He wants guys to fight. They don't have to go out there like Robbie Lawler and stand square in the pocket every fight and trade, but they gotta give the fans something to be excited about, and sadly imo Ty doesn't do that with enough consistency as champion.
Here's Cormier embarassing past opponents ... at both light-heavy and heavyweight ...
Yeah - she's tough and proven in the sport. Definitely outmatched and outclassed in there versus Cyborg ... but didn't get embarassed and stopped in 30 - 60 seconds. Definitely has put her time in ... fighting for many organizations over the years ...

Yikes. This hurts.
Bum ass Anthony Johnson talking about he might come back to fight John "if the money is right" maaaaaaaan gtfoh
The shining example of this is Chael Sonnen..... This mofo has to be the most unworthy cac, to be given multiple title shots......

Crazy to think how much money he's made over the years. 2 fights with Silva / 1 fight with Jones / the popular podcast / Bellator fight and broadcast work / Fox Sports 1 panel work previously / some ESPN panel work / that Submission Underground organization.
HOLY SHIT!
Bisping is even worse IMO. Jacare and Romero were beating everybody. Neither of them got a title shot while both Rockhold and Bisping got shot without fighting either. This is a big reason why the Middleweight division is so fucked up. Never have two clear title contestants fight each other. That messes up the big matchups for later. So instead of having Rockhold- Jacare/Romero fight, they have Rockhold fight for the title and the top 2(Romero/Jacare) fight each other. So then Rockhold wins it and loses it in his first fight and now Bisping won't even fight a contender.Jacare and Romero are old and with USADA probably won't be anywhere near what they were.
Whenever possible, the UFC matches up bruthas to fight each other. Look at the percentage of bruthas in the UFC and look at how many have another brutha on their record. I
Yeah - that fight with Overeem wasn't a good look upon Lesnar's return. Alistair showed him the power, striking experience & technique really quickly. Arianny was ready to bust it wide open for The Reem and have a few children though ...
Like I said, Overeem is strong as -- if not stronger than Brock at that size. Once Brock found out he couldn't manhandle him, his entire demeanor changed. Overeem stuffed that takedown and Brock in his head was like
But this would be a big payday and probably the most watched UFC fight ever. Even if Jones loses, it wouldn't affect his legacy because it would be the Conor affect of just giving up a size advantage.

Yeah - it would be interesting to see the contracts and PPV buyrates for Jones & Lesnar respectively. See how they stack the card around them.
Looking back ... after that battle with diverticulitis ... I wonder if Lesnar ever regrets taking that fight with Overeem upon losing his title a year prior? Only took Reem half a round to stop him.
