Evans and Machida are legitimate LHWs, but they're not used to fighting the biggest guys in the sport. Cormier is.


Who do you think will win (percentage-wise prediction) and how likely will go the fight (Jones - Cormier)?

The assumption is that if it's on the grou0nd it's because Cormier put it there and is on top. Yes, I will certainly favor Cormier in that position (if only to ride out a decision).

Im not sure even if Cormier would have the advantage in the ground game... Maybe Jones will decide to fight Cormier in his area (wrestling) to prove himself that even there he is better (like he did with Guf and Glover). In these case I dont know who will take down the opponent. What do you think, guys?

I'll put it at 50-50, I don't know. Cormier has never faced someone like Bones and Bones has never faces someone like Cormier. I could see it going split decision, with Jones cutting up Cormier's face with hellbows and Cormier getting more takedowns.

I do think that Cormier will take Jones down, but we don't know how good Jones is off of his back. I could see Jones throwing nasty elbows from the bottom.

If it would be superclose fight, like you believe, no doubt we will see the rematch like Jones -Gus.
