UFC 197 this weekend. Have heard a lot about Jon Jones but haven't seen him fight yet. A workmate of mine who does BJJ told me about him and has claimed him to be the best Pound-For-Pound fighter in the UFC. I think at the moment its up for debate since he's been off for over a year, so I'm excited to see Jones fight for the first time. His record is impressive. Not sure about his opponent St Preux. Might go through YouTube and watch some highlight vids of each fighter.

I "almost" feel bad for Cormier for what Jones will do to him, but he's such a douche. Jones played it safe during the fight which was against a guy that has heavy hands and almost identical reach/height. Yet DC, sat there doing commentary and shitting on Jones. Can't wait for "hopefully" UFC 200 as thats the rumored fight date for Jones and DC.

Yeah, I think Jones has got this fight in the bag. Was watching the press conference and I like this back n forth publicly insulting each other. Looks like Cormier struck a nerve. 200 will be something to look forward to but wish McGregor was still on the card too.
