Cormier vs Jones Fight Preview
Strengths
Jones will take plenty of confidence from the victory over Cormier back in 2015. This was the first meeting between the two fighters, and the former managed to succeed by unanimous decision.
Cormier has improved tremendously since his defeat against Jones more than two years ago. Many now see him as a complete boxer who has a great advantage on the ground. The 38-year-old has also been constantly in the ring after having fought in 2016 and 2017 without a break.
Weaknesses
Since the victory over Cormier, Jones has been part of just a single fight in UFC 197. His career has taken a huge beating following several scandals, and the 30-year-old may be suffering from rustiness coming into such a big fight.
Age appears to be creating an impact on Cormier’s career, as the 38-year-old struggle in his last victory over Anthony Johnson. There is little doubt that the weight cut will hurt him once again.
Cormier vs Jones Prediction
There is no doubt that Cormier is a much better boxer than when he came up against Jones in January 2015. This time around, he is much wiser too. Yet, age is clearly not on his side and the way that he struggled against Anthony Johnson – despite being a victory – is a sign that Cormier may not be able to go all the way in this game. Jones not only has the skill and stamina, but he also has the psychological edge over Cormier. Jones has had a much lower knockout percentage, and this prediction does not expect the 30-year-old to achieve a knockout victory against Cormier.
Instead, Jones is expected to win by decision. Predictions for the event have already started focusing more on a victory by decision for Jones, as it is available at favourable odds compared to a knockout victory.
Cormier vs Jones Betting Tips
Jones is at 21/10 with 10Bet to win by a knockout. UFC betting tips do not expect to see a knockout victory, especially considering that Cormier has never suffered such a defeat in his 19-1 career. A great bet would be backing the 30-year-old to secure a victory by unanimous decision, which is available at 6/5.
Incredibly, one can also go with a Jones victory by submission and this is available at great odds. Either way, Jones remains the best bet for a victory in the event. It would be tough to go past the 30-year-old, who remains as one of the finest in the business.
