10 Dangers Daniel Cormier Poses To Jon Jones

1. The Overall Biggest Test Of Jon Jones' Career

http://youtu.be/IIfD-Mko_qw Even though a rematch against Gustafsson would be massive, this is now the biggest test of Jones' career. This fight has been three years in the making following their altercation at the MMA awards in 2011. Cormier has yet to lose a round in his MMA career, let alone a fight. It has been quite some time, since Jones had to deal with major pre-fight hype. You can make a valid argument that there hasn€™t been significant hype before a title defense of his since Rashad Evans in 2012. Belfort, Sonnen, Gustafsson, and Teixeira were considered pushovers by practically everybody. This is the first time in quite some time, where people are questioning if Jones will retain his title. It may sound like a big generality, but this could affect him mentally. Will he believe that he can rise to the occasion and settle the critics down about this being his biggest threat? Will he realize that he won€™t be able to control the octagon, along with being able to fight at his pace? These are questions that can prove to be damaging to Jones€™ overall game plan. That€™s what makes this fight so fascinating because we€™ve seen Jones so dominant through the majority of his career. All of the questions will culminate into whether or not he passes his biggest test.
