I think Jones is going to take out Cormier again.

Would be nice to see Maia get the WW title but it's going to be tough against Woodley.

Cyborg is fighting for a title in the UFC.  Definitely will be pulling for her to take it.

I have Jones over cormier ,
Woodley over maia ,cyborg over evinger,Lawler over cerrone,manuwa over oezdemir

I have same, except I have Cerrone over Lawler.

I'm rooting for Cormier, Jones was awful against OSP and he's off juice since a year so I think Emelianegro has a chance.

I think Cormier has a good chance as well but I think Jones will pull this one off similar to their first fight. Being off the roids could make a difference though. Really interested in this fight. It should be good regardless of who takes it. I expect a close fight.

I do have Jones over cormier though I will admit I would not be shocked if DC wins

First good UFC card in a long time.

First good one since the Stipe/JDS card.

Another Cormier pick. I don't know, this is a pick'em fight.

Jones looked very beatable against osp who is a much lesser fihter.DC Has the tools to beat jones but he always deviates from gameplan....

Im hoping he finally puts it together.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cormier win but I'm picking Jones. I think Gus has the best chance of beating Jones based on his size. Jones is not used to fighting someone of equal size and ability.

that head kick was fast Cormier did not see it coming

Gus should be the next one to get the crack

He should since people would be interested and Gus came closer than anyone in beating Jones. However, we'll see as I can see UFC wanting to do Jones/Lesnar.

Gus definitely deserves the next shot and has the best chance at beating Jones but I think Lesnar might be first. Ratings would be huge for Lesnar/Jones right now.

The ufc would more likely do jones vs lesnar since they're all about the ppv points as for jon he in my book is the 3rd greatest mma fighter of all time fedor and gsp are still 1 and 2 in my book jon is a great fighter but of course any time he fought someone he didn;t have a huge height and reach advantage over he struggled i mean it might just be the camera angle he looked a weight class bigger than DC .

Sadly, the media is already out with Jones as the GOAT. I do agree though, Jones can't be the GOAT fighting at a much smaller division. He should've moved up after the first fight.

I agree, I think Jones/Lesnar could be happening soon.

I have Fedor, GSP, Jones as top 3 GOATs as well.
