Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones
Daniel Cormier (+210) has a valid claim to being the very best technical wrestler to ever grace the Octagon. The former Olympian is all about controlling his opponent and grinding out victories in the most vicious way possible. “DC” is a chain-wrestling specialist who works his finest when he gets his competitor on the cage and may just chip away. From the clinch, he can work his strikes or use a large number of takedowns to get in addition to his competitor. And if Cormier is at the top, he clamps down on his opponent quickly, fluidly alterations and absolutely suffocates them.
The striking game is still quite meat-and-potatoes for Cormier, but it is effective. He moves ahead behind his jab and leg kicks, he uses well to fight larger than his small-for-the-division framework. He does not precisely sport amazing knockout skill within his hands but his growing striking game is built to feed into his grappling.
Jon Jones (-270) is excellent at each element of the fight game, but his best physical feature comes thanks for his freakishly long reach. His long arms give him the capability to chip away at fighters throughout the bout while periodically moving into hit crushing shots in close, usually along with his elbows. This results in another field of dominance in the former champ; the clinch. His length is an incredible advantage in tight and Jones has developed the specialized ability to leverage that to catastrophic strikes.
One of the most fascinating aspects for Jones has always been his versatility. Throughout his career, we have seen him challenge his opponents to their strengths and still end up victorious. This, of course, was most noteworthy when he outwrestled and outgrinded Cormier in their very first meeting.
As long as people get the Jon Jones of older, he should easily win this battle. In his prime, nobody could touch Jones and that he was likely the best fighter to step inside a cage. If he looks anywhere as mediocre as he failed in his last struggle against Ovince Saint Preux, Cormier will eat him alive. Until someone beats”Bones,” you can’t pick against him.
