Can any kind folk in here please link me to a site that'll have the DC v Jones fight to watch on reply tomorrow morning UK time. Is mma share still the place to go?

Aye, mmashare still tends to get the fights uploaded pretty quickly. Mmacore is another one, although they have seperate videos for each round so you end up knowing what round the fight ended in before you even watch. The streaming sites in general are a pain in the arse in that the video length gives too much away about the outcome. A torrent would probably be your best bet if you can find one.
 
Thanks for that. I used to use them when I watched MMA a lot and this fight has drawn me back in. And you're spot on, it's a nightmare trying to play the video without seeing how long it is!

why don't you just download the event on HD via torrent? much easier and fast than watching online...

edit. just saw torrent was already suggested...
 
What's everyone's prediction then? I think Cormier will win a dominant 5 round decision. I think he will rag doll Jones. His wrestling is too good.
 
Anyone know what time Cormier vs Jones is likely to start? I am guessing about 4.30am GMT would be a decent guess after the pre-lims and other matches.

I am knackered and need to get some sleep but really want to watch this fight live.

With Jones, you can't predict anything, with every fight he comeback with new tools. For all we know he could have become an olympic level wrestler or he discovered a one punch ko, in him.

I think it will be close. Jones is to good to get completely dominated by anyone.

Maybe and I'm not confident at all with my prediction. Both guys are such great fighters. I just always tend to pick the superior wrestler.
 
Jones looks so much more confident, as long as he defends the takedowns he will take Cormier apart with his reach. It will be key in this fight.
 
Can't wait for this fight! Cormier will need to get inside and wrestle/dirty box otherwise Jones will just destroy him with his reach. I really like Cormier and hope he wins.

No bother mate. I honestly don't think I've ever wanted a fighter to win as badly as I want Cormier to beat Jones. I'm not particularly confident though, as Jones just invariably improves between fights and has a tendency of outperforming opponents in their own best facet. Chael Sonnen certainly doesn't seem to think Cormier will have a big wrestling advantage, which surprised me.

I cant freaking wait for the main event (although I also have a keen eye on the Cerrone fight also, which I think will actually be the more entertaining of the two bouts). I really REALLY want DC to take this but struggle to see how he will. It will be one thing getting through Bones' reach advantage and then I doubt it will be easy to take him down once DC gets in. Plus, Bones seems more focused than ever, so I predict he might win by TKO in the 3rd. Hope I'm wrong though.
 
That was tough to watch, she was really bad. I imagine CM Punk's striking might look something like her's!

I'm excited to see Lombard again too but cannot fecking wait for the main event. No idea who will win, I think DC with his threat of the takedown and handspeed could easily get in range of JJ and punish him but I just dunno, like Pat said, Jones just improves nearly every time.
 
I think a 12-inch reach advantage for Jones will be too much for Cormier to handle. That being said, hope Cormier smashes the cnut.
 
My official prediction

Jones to win via decision. But to win at least 4 rounds and be fairly comfortable
 
I dont know what will happen, but if Gus can complete half his takedown attempts then Jones is going for several rides in this fight.

But can Cormier do enough damage, and prevent enough? No idea.

Jones beats DC late in the 4th or 5th.

Noted: I never vote for Stobz in a fantasy draft match again.

Honestly, if I had to predict I'd go with Jones via decision. This is hopefully my inherent negativity kicking in, but I'd guess Jones 49-46. I really hope I'm wrong. Either way I don't think it'll be a massively entertaining fight for anyone but the hardcore fans. It'll either be Cormier via clinching against the cage and the odd takedown, or Jones via kicking the shite out of his legs from distance. I hope I'm wrong and Cormier blitzes him.
