10 Dangers Daniel Cormier Poses To Jon Jones

10. Wrestling Pedigree

http://youtu.be/-E8jnYJJ2Tc There isn€™t a wrestler currently in MMA better than Daniel Cormier. What he has done against the likes of Josh Barnett and Dan Henderson has been tremendous. He imposes his will in every facet of wrestling. Whether it€™s a single leg or double leg takedown, he knows how to put his opponent on his back. He has also executed efficient leg sweeps and highlight reel slams to his record. Jon Jones has only been put on his back once. It was only for a mere few seconds by Alexander Gustafsson. His overall size and utilization of distance makes him nearly impossible to takedown. That will be the main challenge for Cormier in trying to impose his will. Still Jones hasn€™t faced someone as strong and explosive as him. This is where the real danger will be recognized Jones throughout his camp and early portions of the fight. He can€™t afford to be over-aggressive; otherwise he€™ll be on his back or an exclusive part of Cormier€™s highlight reel.
