Dana White 'likes' Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones idea

http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/425516/Dana-White-likes-Daniel-Cormier-vs-Jon-Jones-idea/

Through 12 fights and four title defenses, Jon Jones has made a pretty strong case that he’s close to cleaning out the list of contenders at 205.

Dana White 'likes' Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones idea

Through 12 fights and four title defenses, Jon Jones has made a pretty strong case that he’s close to cleaning out the list of contenders at 205.

However, Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier has hinted around at dropping down to 205 once his final bout is finished with Zuffa’s sister promotion. His target would be none other than Jon Jones.

The fight is anything but official and at this stage of the game only a fantasy bout for fans to theorize about, but UFC President Dana White gets a big smile on his face whenever this potential powder keg title fight comes up.

“That’d be interesting,” White said with a smirk when asked about a potential Jones vs. Cormier fight. “I like it."

White has stated that he will never pressure a fighter to move weight classes outside of stating an opinion, but he knows if Daniel Cormier could make the move down to light heavyweight, he would be a force immediately.

oh lawd yes. Guy is a joke. Perfect example of how the mma media hype train works. If he had beat Rumble they would have been talking title shot. It must really suck to work for the UFC, with the mid level guys trying to break through seems like a lucky punch or the equivalent decides their career.

They run that shit like a corporation. Downsized.

Vaughany · 10-03-12, 02:45 AM

Pretty bad few months for our Charlie...coach and mentor suddenly died days before his last fight then goes and loses to Noke in first round and gets cut! Ouch

Fact is though as soon as an average WW pulls out injured of a fight they'll give Charlie a call and he'll step in

Some irony here.

According to Stephens in his latest video blog, partying and the night life caught up to him too much recently and he realized that major changes had to be made.
“I’m very blessed and very fortunate to be going in at 1000-percent. Changing up things on the outside, cleaning up my lifestyle. I just got into partying a lot and just got into making bad choices on the outside of camp,” Stephens said.
“This camp I’m hoping to stay in the gym, and keep continue to working on what I’ve been working on and improving my game and adding things to my arsenal.”
Stephens faces Yves Edwards at UFC on FX 5 this weekend in Minnesota and following back-to-back losses he knows that his back may be against the wall a bit as he heads into this bout.

This kid use to be one of my favorite fighters and yet never seemed to evolved and his punches seem to lose some steam to them.

lol you f-a-g-g-o-t-s, vaugany says the same thing but no one jumps on him. If you cheap f-a-g-s had fuel tv you would've saw Dana saying the fight is happening on national tv right before the main card. I would believe that over some pro wrestling website. F-ck you.

Rubber Guard · 10-08-12, 12:38 PM

How did anyone expect Stephens to fight when he was still in jail when the first fights started?

Was there going to be some twightlight card? That went into the AM?

I'll take Logic over pro wrestling sites or Dana's word.

Fair enough, but when this happened no one but that pro wrestling site was reporting the fight was off. All other mma sites were reporting he was in jail. I assumed that Dana White had the most up to date information about what was really going on. He said the fight was happening on national tv so I relayed the message here. Turns out I was wrong but logic would say he would know before anyone else. I was just trying to post the most recent info I could find. And of course I am grilled over it. If he did fight no one would've said shit in this thread I can guarantee it. It's always a gotcha game on this stupid forum. I will no longer try to relay news to update people. It's simply not worth it if something goes wrong.

Rubber Guard · 10-08-12, 01:20 PM

I saw and watched the same thing you watched.

But I still scratched my head as to exactly how Dana was going to pull that off. I think Dana was trying to put a damper over it. He didn't want all the talk on national TV to be about one of his fighters going to jail.

Vaughany · 10-08-12, 03:09 PM

Roller - Looks like I'm hanging up the gloves for good. It was fun, but time to move on. Sux that it ended like that. Now startn the next chapter!!

On Friday Oct. 5, UFC lightweight Jeremy Stephens was apprehended by the Minnesota Sheriff"s Department in early morning hours at the Marriott City Center Hotel which housed UFC fighters participating at UFC on FX 5.
Early reports revealed that Stephens was arrested for an assault warrant he had currently active in Iowa.
Stephens was later booked at the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility at 10:44 a.m. and charged with a felony. He has been held in jail since the arrest, and remains in jail without the ability to post bail.
Today, Stephens' management agency released a public statement regarding the incident:
In response to the recent arrest and allegations regarding Jeremy Stephens, we would like to take this opportunity to reach out to his supporters and clarify some of the information that has been circulating in the media.
In 2011, Jeremy was attending a homecoming party in Des Moines, Iowa. A person in attendance became intoxicated and disorderly, and was asked to leave by the owner of the establishment. The intoxicated individual subsequently became involved in a physical altercation with another person at the event. We have learned that, as the featured guest at the party, Jeremy's name came up during the police investigation of the assault.
Prior to being detained the morning of October 5, 2012 In Minneapolis, Jeremy had never been arrested in connection with the assault, contacted about any possible charge and or notified about any outstanding warrant by mail or any other means. Jeremy has lived at the same residence in San Diego and has maintained the same phone number for the past year or more, Jeremy also uses social media to provide updates on his training, and to thank fans, supporters, sponsors, and the UFC. In short, Jeremy is not a hard guy to find, which can be seen at www.LilHeathenMMA.com
At this time, we do not know why Pol County (Iowa) authorities waited to have a warrant served on Jeremy until the morning of his fight. He arrived in Minnesota four days earlier, stayed at the hotel with other fighters for the event, and attended the public weight-in on Thursday afternoon. Because he was arrested so close to the time of the fight, arrangements for his release could not be made in time for him to compete despite the diligent efforts of the UFC. Minnesota state officials were great to deal with, but Polk County kept changing the deal making it impossible to get Jeremy released.
It will take some time for this unfortunate situation to be resolved. We ask that everyone be patient and wait for the truth to come out. We also would like to thank Jeremy's fans who are standing by him during this tough time and especially, Dana White and the staff at UFC for their incredible display of support for Jeremy throughout the ordeal.
There is nothing to hide, so we will keep everyone updated as things progress. For any question or concerns, you can contact management at the following;

You not only posted false news but you claimed I was posting fake news.

This to me is a despicable cut. Guy steps up twice to fight without a full camp and gets cut. Give the guy one more fight for goodness sakes. I thought he should have gotten cut after the Mcguire fight but stepping up on short notice like his last two fights and the Swick fight was a real good one, then getting cut. Good grief.

Next time a fighter wants to step up and take a fight on short notice they might want to remember this.

Not as simple as that though...yeah he deserves respect for steppin up on short notice and all, but he could of let the UFC and/or at least Gunnar Nelson know that he wasnt going to get anywhere near the 175lb agreed weight. But instead of doing that he just stopped trying and let Gunnar continue to struggle to make weight without notifying anybody. That to me is shady shiit

You have to remember the guy took a vicious knockout his last fight less then two months ago and then steps up. He shouldn't have been fighting in the first place. Just ask Sideloader what it feels like to get knocked out. He will tell ya that it didn't give the guy much time to train.
