Black Fedor calling out Bones
Collapse

He's calling out Frank Mir first since he was meant to fight him initially for this card. A fight where he plans on losing a bit more weight and then by the end of the year make that proper cut to 205. His friend/training partner Cain Velasquez is the champ and DC says he wants to be a champ but he can't fight Cain. He says he can make 205 with the right diet. It is definately easier for him to make it than Cain tbh. Cain weighs usually around 10 pounds more than DC and he is a bigger guy naturally + he is champ now so there is no reason for him to even think about moving down (personally I never thought he should have moved down anyway win or lose).
Jones can fight Sonnen, Gustaffson and then DC OR fight Mousasi instead of Gustaffson/DC depending on how things go. He has beaten everyone of name in the UFC apart from Henderson really. I really wanted to see Silva vs Jones but it seems due to DC that fight is put back.

I think it's very intriguing. Cormeir's ring IQ far exceeds his experience. He is bold enough to walk up and lay hands on Jones (something he reacts poorly to). He certainly won't be out-wrestled. So, that leaves it on the feet. Cormeir has thus far shown great ability to compensate for his reach. I say it's a great fight, perhaps leading to rematches. We just have to see how Daniel handles 205.
And, BTW, Mir is almost tailor-made for Cormeir; big name, dangerous guy who offers absolutely no threat to Cormeir stylistically.

Yea. That's all I got.

Mir is out of the question here. I am giving 60/40 Cormier over Mir.

Yea. That's all I got.

Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostYea, when a guy makes a thread I expect him to explain himself. I still don't know what you think is ridiculous. Some examples could be not earning it, not being able to make weight, stylistic issues, etc. Not trying to bicker with you. Just looking for something specific to discuss since I don't know what aspect you think is ridiculous.Last edited by led; 01-13-2013, 11:34 PM.

As for Jones, DC should thrown him down a couple of times, maybe put him up against the cage and land some shots and then throw those heavy hands on Bones, I like DC's chances in that. It won't be one sided though, Jones has some good kickboxing and has not stayed on top of 205 for this long for nothing.

I should have meant that Cormier should test himself to other LHW first if he want to face Bones (to explain myself on saying ridiculous, just a reaction to him saying kicking Bones' ass, it's such a heavy word).Last edited by Redd Foxx; 01-14-2013, 12:27 PM.
