    Initially I was unsure who to choose, but as the fight approaches I grow more confident Jon Jones will win. I don't know how he'll do it, but I have a feeling he'll make it look easy...

    I have no clue how the fight will look or go down, but I definitely have Jones winning.

    Cormier shook? seems like its the opposite to me. Jones trying to discredit DC's win over Hendo by overly exaggerating his age, talking s--- to DC about only getting 4th at the Olympics(then getting owned by Askren with the Matt Riddle twitter comment). DC seems calm and his normal self, Jones seems rattled.

    I don't think either of them are nervous or shook to be honest. I think they're both super motivated and both trained as hard as they physically can. Like JBJ said, this is a fight that he just simply cannot lose, and same goes for DC because of everything that's been said and everything that's been done.

    I haven't stayed in or bought the last few, but this one I will be buying. I think I have a couple of buddies actually interested in this one. Like redsoxx, none of my friends give a s--- about mma.

    I think this is the first fight where Jones has been looking his opponent in the eye during stare downs. Usually he looks away...

    DC looks ready to get at it and take the belt.

    There's a part of me that wants to see DC take down JJ and dismantle him with the wrestling.

    Is it fair to say that both Cormier and Jones are eachothers biggest tests so far in their career? And if so, who would you say is making the bigger leap in terms of toughness of opponent?
    I know most would say Jones in a heartbeat however its worth considering DC's heavyweight experience, fighting bigger, possibly stronger men (some top 10 names) and dominating them.

    I know some of you probably don't care, but some might..Fans asking Punk questions, have a feeling it's gonna be entertaining.

    Every time I see CM Punk and UFC I still can't believed that happened.

    Very glad it happened though lol, think it may be what gets me into UFC and maybe makes me quit watching WWE. I've tried to sort of follow WWE still but holy s--- it's so boring right now, hardly anyone interesting. Gonna probably watch the UFC PPV tomorrow (at least the main event), it'll be the 1st show I've ever watched live I think. I watched an old show that they re aired on TV a couple weeks ago though and enjoyed it.

    Bones is close to clearing out a very competitive division with 1 polarizing decision and 1 DQ. Cormier isn't nearly as vetted.
