Cowboy was the man tonight. Actually bet DC going into the last fight. Lets hope hes humble in the afters. Good fight Jones had just too much everywhere.

**brooks85** · 01-04-15, 01:13 AM

that is the perfect ending for the eventual rematch, all the bad blood

MD · 01-04-15, 01:19 AM

Huge night. Surprised Jury fought that way, I was way off on that one, but pretty much all of my other bets came through. Jones -130 live was ridiculous.

**fitguy67** · 01-04-15, 01:23 AM

was a hell of a fight for EXACTLY 3 rounds...at which point dc looked easily the more likely to win...he was closing the distance, forcing the action, and hitting harder...

then...for some reason (cardio must have played some part of it, but an observable "collapse of will" also did)...dc just mailed the last two rounds in...

Zuffa do NOT stick us with a damned rematch...let the failed challenger get back in line and give Gus/Rumble winner the shot they've earned

Yeah Pokes Knows at -130 right when DC was fading hard was a gift...

**Sykes** · 01-04-15, 01:26 AM

Id like to see Rumble next, hes got a Tyson vibe about him, when Jones does him let him get at an confident frustrated alex.

**oddtodd** · 01-04-15, 01:38 AM

At round 3 I had it a clear 2-1 for Jones and was thinking it would be clear sailing in the next 2. Anybody that actually bet Jones and was worried after 3 ?

Need to speed those fingers up, homey, Jones +100 was available right before that.

wasn't so much thinking he was behind in the 3 rounds just passed...knew that was close...but looking ahead to the championship rounds...seemed from the body language in the corners...that jones just didn't want to be there and that dc was more up to the battle

as it turned out, JJ rose to the occasion, just as he did in the barn-burner with gus...

while cormer--who we were sold on as iron-willed--folded like a Walmart tent

damnit mmashare isn't working where could i find videos of earlier fights

**Skel** · 01-04-15, 03:02 AM

That was a very close fight, despite Jones acting like he dominated. DC by decision at +350 was definitely the right side.

Jury needs Bilbo Baggens and that mystical sword right about now.

I wanna know how we get this guy to post his picks pending? Never seen it happen.. A shy man indeed..

Remember fellow Hobbits from the Shire that this man won the FORUM MMA tourney in 2014..

A man with skills that we never hear from prior too.. Stealthy bastard Ed is...

Great night of fights from FP freelims to main event!

**fitguy67** · 01-04-15, 03:37 AM

It was indeed a very competitive fight...but only for (almost exactly for) the first 3 rounds...

But as a whole 5-round championship fight it was rightfully scored as a one-sided decision for Jones...what had started as a competitive barn-burner fizzled into what it became because Cormier mailed in the last two rounds...for whatever reasons, dc folded like a tent

All the Zuffa hype played up the iron-willed nature of the challenger, yet we've seen the type of true grit the Zuffa media mill was counting in Cormier's favor exhibited twice now by Jones...but never yet by Cormier who'd steamrolled everybody up to this point...first guy hurts him back, he folds...

took a long time for the first guy to really hurt jones, too...but he composed himself and endured the war, strengthening as the fight progressed...same thing today vs. dc who--like Gus--gave him all he could handle the first 3 rounds...but Gus--unlike dc--continued to give him all he could handle for the last two rounds as well

the "championship rounds" indeed determined the championship...they are the hardest rounds to fight...hence the "who wants it more" principle comes increasingly crucial...this is where Jones excels...we've seen it twice...the first time it put him in the hospital...but STILL with the belt

Appears we arrived at the same 3 team parlay to end the card.. Good job Marzy and happy to see you close out strong!!!!

" Stats after 3rd Round: Total Strikes - Jones (81/129 62%), Cormier (84/174 48%). Takedowns - Jones (1/3), Cormier (0/2) "

no surprise that cardio would be the key factor
Cormiers only chans was to take Jones down and make him work harder/carry all the weight

props to Jones for his takedown defence.

damn Skel, he's got you there...

can't argue with that compelling dismissal of your thesis...

but, wait...maybe the same sort of logic can be used to save the day...

Originally posted by Skel

damn, this is getting good...

and they say sbr's mma sub-forum is lacking in intelligent discourse

btw, in #511 above i agree with it being a very competitive tilt thru the end of R3 that would have been very difficult to call at that point...meaning a dc,DEC+350 would be looking pretty sweet on the sharpness scale before the start of R4
but because Cormier faded so bad after that and tanked the last two rounds...it was easy to call the whole fight as a fairly one-sided affair...giving in retrospect the spurious impression that it was a beat-down from start to finish (which it clearly was not)

so with some context applied it's rather clear that the fight was both competive (considered to end of R3)...and one-sided (considered R1-5)...if you were holding a Jones ticket, it was a match to "sweat through" that clearly COULD have easily gone either way...the fact that the championship rounds took it convincingly in just one of those ways does not alter that,

no matter how much Jones backers (of whom i was one) claim to not have worried at any time throughout the fight...the skidmarks on their underwear that formed early in the fight tell another story

to Cormier's credit, he was only the second guy to hurt Jones...too bad he just ran out of the gas/will/whatevr it took (that Gus had, and that he lacked) to continue the campaign with full intensity till the end...

poor fukker dc, came up "just short" again...he will be an answer to a trivia question a few decades from now

I had it 2-2 going into round 5. Granted it seems that I'm in the minority. Disappointing night of fights for me, down about 3%. Congrats to the Jones backers, you called it right and I was wrong.

Guy cant win can he. If he'd of "squashed" it after the fight then everybody would be saying he's fake.

Have nothing but respect for how he was after the fight, like he said in the press conference, DC would of been rubbing it in if he'd won
