A stocky wrestler who isn't intimidated by a guy who hasn't whooped his ass in training has a chance.

It is quite likely that he would out grapple him...if he gets a hold of him. Jones is so much longer than him he could have a tough time getting a hold of him. There is no doubt Cormier isn't afraid to close the distance and get a hold of him, but I am just not sure he can do it consistently and without taking a beating on the way in.

Again, the fact he's been fighting heavyweights will help there. He's been fighting guys with way longer reach already. Now, obviously, Bigfoot and Barnett won't prepare you for the accuracy and speed of JJ. But he's had plenty of practice getting inside on guys with significant size advantages.
I'm withholding any real opinion on him vs. JJ until after he fights Rashad. I expect him to fuckin' steamroll Evans, and if he does that I'll start talking about his chances of beating Bones.

Im curious of what the lines on Cormier vs Rashad will be, could be easy money to be made on Cormier.

Not bad if you want to lose $50. Jones is going to annihilate Glover. Honestly think it's going to be embarrassing for Texeira.
He's a badass, but he's really slow. Look how bad he looked against Bader, he got clipped multiple times by that slow dude before finishing him. Tons of heart with great power and a very good sub game, but he's going to be so physically outmatched it won't matter.
If you bet against JJ here it's not because you think it's a decent investment. You are just gambling on a fluke. Which is fine for fun, but it's not a good way to make cash=P

Cormier being -200 seems about right. Rashad is undependable like I said, but Cormier at LHW is a huge unknown. He said before that he fought at HW because he couldn't cut weight (He had kidney failure in the 2008 olympics from cutting weight). If it's a bad cut you won't hear anything about it from AKA, but it will be very telling to see what he looks like in the weigh ins.
I'll avatar bet anyone on JJ beating Glover.

Just looked up lines for barnett, he's at -200 which seems right. I'm really surprised that A. Silva is at -170. There must be information about how his camp or Weidman's camp is going that I don't know about, because I thought he'd be closer to -110. Rousey being at -750 is pretty hilarious.
