for making Daniel Cormier submit

ANAHEIM, Calif. Daniel Cormier was among the canada goose store first to officially weigh in Friday morning canada goose outlet buy canada goose jacket uk for UFC 214, wasting no time in making the 205 pound limit to defend his light heavyweight title against former champion Jon Jones on Saturday night at the Honda Center.

Cormier looked like a canada goose black friday sale dried sponge and initially was overweight for his successful title defense last April against Anthony Johnson, but he made weight without complication for Jones, though the early weigh in was a sign he was canada goose outlet shop eager to rehydrate.

Jones, who professed to eating ice cream Thursday, weighed in at 204.5 and looked to be in tremendous condition for what some are canada goose outlet sale calling one of the best match ups in UFC history.

Saturday’s main event is a rematch of their first meeting in January 2015, in which Jones canada goose outlet uk sale won a unanimous decision to retain the UFC canada goose outlet parka light heavyweight title. Jones should win more decisively Saturday.

“The first time, I had some questions about who was going to win,” Jones said. “Now I already know what I can do. I’ve got a blueprint. The canada goose factory sale goal canada goose uk outlet here is to finish the fight. I want canada goose outlet store uk to be the canada goose clearance first person to make DC quit in the Octagon and I know it’s going to happen.”

Despite his inactivity, Jones, 30, is still in his prime and looks to be in great shape. His 7 foot wing span and 6 foot 4 frame remains a puzzle that has yet to be solved. It’s quite possible the best of Jones is yet to come. This is what my camp expects out of me. It’s finishing people and to provide an output that I don’t believe he can handle.”

Cormier, a decorated wrestler, has been a worthy champion, but has never been given full credit because he hasn’t defeated Jones. At age 38, he needs a win to validate his championship reign.

“I think in time the result official canada goose outlet of one fight will not overcome everything I’ve done Canada https://www.fcvfrankfurt.de Goose sale in this sport,” he said. “But the reality is for me, I do canada goose outlet need to win this fight. If you look at all the things I’ve done in my career, I’ve done it all, outside of beating Jon Jones. It’s the last thing for me to do.”

Cormier (19 1) says he underestimated Jones before their first bout. He didn’t expect Jones canadian goose jacket (22 1) to be as strong as he was and how difficult it would be to contend with his long canada goose uk shop arms and legs.

“I think it will be one of the greatest fights in MMA history because the skill level is higher than it’s ever been,” Jones said. “You have guys fighting in the UFC who could have played other sports. canada goose outlet black friday For me and canada goose outlet Daniel to do what we’ve both done, this is probably the highest level of MMA you’re going to get. I’m just trying to get my belt back. That’s all I truly care about.
