I dunno about wipe the floor, I reckon he'll put up a decent fight, but I don't see him winning. I mean, he has no problem with having a height and reach deficiency, seeing as he beat the crap outta Josh Barnett who's quite a bit bigger than him (And subject of my most recent MMAdness on the main site! #cheapshill), but like I've said in the past, Jones is like a human cheat code. He's got amazing wrestling and his stand up's pretty damn good, what with his ridiculous reach, I see him holding onto the belt for a long time. That being said, I could be wrong, and Cormier could live up to the "Black Fedor" hype and beat the shit outta him. I never thought that much of Cormier to be honest. The only fight I really thought he showed top tier skill was the Barnett fight but other than that, I've always thought he was kinda meh. Personally, I don't think he should be even mentioned in the same sentence as Fedor let alone be called The Black Fedor. Anyway, I still think Gus will be the one to beat Bones. Honestly, I thought he won the last fight which is why I really want to see the rematch. Did you see what he did to Bigfoot and Hendo?

Lets be honest here, beating Bigfoot and Hendo is nothing special. Bigfoot has no cardio and can barely take a punch and Dan is in mid 40s and has won 1 out of his last 5 fights. I'm sorry but I just don't see DC as much of a threat.

Ah yes, Bigfoot is nothing special despite beating Fedor, Overeem, Arlovski, and he totally took no punches during the Hunt fight. And sure, Dan is not what he used to be, but he got tossed around like a 5th grader.

Yeah the way DC dominated Hendo is nothing to sneeze at. throwing him all over the octagon was unreal to see.

Fair enough with Bigfoot although I do think Silva won a lot of fights due to steroids/PEDs, not that I can prove it or anything. As for Hendo, I stand by what I said and factor that in with DC being a world class wrestler. The thing is though, I don't think his wrestling will work against Jones and I think his size and reach will be a big disadvantage to him. But hey, maybe I'm wrong and maybe DC is the one, either way we'll find out next month.

Drop everything and watch this. Bones and DC after their ESPN interview with the cameras still on. NSFW. t.co/CdAZvMH2No

Ok, I take back what I said about DC, I hope he knocks Jones the f*** out. Jones is such a douche.

I think it's more disgusting than funny. They're supposed to be professionals and instead they're making themselves and the sport look awful.

To think that Jones is basically the face of the UFC and he acts like a high school jock.

This is some of the best working of the MMA community Dana's done in a while. Buyrates have sucked for the past few shows, but UFC 178 is gonna do well because people want to see these two dudes try and kill each other and that's the reason this is going down. I love it.

Yeah, I like Bones, but just going "UR A PUSSY" over and over...It's like, dude, come on. You're just proving Cormier right here.
Anyway, I reckon this will do alright on buyrates. We're gonna see a war for sure.

A black day for Mixed Martial Arts after reading that transcript. Hopefully justice will be done in the end.

War Machine is a piece of garbage. I don't care if she was "caught in the act" as I've seen WM imply. I've also heard him say she came at him with a knife and he was only "defending himself". Um, no.... she doesn't end up as bad as she did if he were just "defending himself". Based on his past, I'm more inclined to believe her side. He has serious problems.

War Machine is a dick, Super Strong Machine on the other hand is number 1.
