There are many fighters that talk a big game. Theyll claim that they will knock out their opposition clean out or make them suffer. The likes of Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans had done that in the past. After the first or second round, those fighters became far more defensive and begin to shell up against Jones. Im not expecting the same thing to occur with Cormier. Unless an injury occurs, Im not expecting Cormiers will to be broken. Hes always proven to be fearless in putting his opponent on his back at all costs. Jones knows how to break his opponents will by either utilizing his reach or manhandling them on the ground. Cormier has so much experience that Id be shocked to see that occur. While its always dangerous to be over-aggressive against the champion, the ability to be fearless can prove to be a difference maker. Chael Sonnens performance against Anderson Silva in the first fight was the perfect example.
