I have a very hard time myself seeing Cormier losing this fight, he rag dolled guys like Josh Barnett, who is monstrous in size compared to him, and easily out wrestled Dan Henderson of all people. I have a feeling Jones is going to be spending a lot of time on his back getting mauled...

Thats how I see it.
Jones is very talented, DC is a fucking beast!! And being a wrestler isn't the big key, being an Olympic Gold medalist is a whole other level not really seen or felt in UFC competition until DC came along.
I spoke to Josh Barnnet before and after his fight with DC. He said after his fight: "That guy is an unreal Beast and he is for real!"
Keep in mind Barnet chills at 250lbs and is a monster. Now you have DC at 205lbs? DC did not get less strong and less Beastly.
Its gonna be a good fight. I saw this happening when UFC bought out Strike force. I knew DC was going to get groomed to fight Jones and the 205ers.
Jones better bring his "A" Game, because he will 100% get taken down. It will be how he responds after getting dumped multiple times is going to be everything.
KO can always finish it on either side, but for sure this one will be the one to watch.
