There is NO way Jones KOs him. Jones doesn't have the power, and will probably try to avoid grappling for the majority of the fight.

Cormier's Strikeforce career shows the hype he WOULD deserve. For people to tell me that he's the best UFC wrestler based on throwing Dan Henderson (HW Vs MW) around, quoting Hendo's wrestling career like that wasn't around 20 years ago. Not finishing Mir is shocking for a high level fighter. Hendo and Nelson have one punch in their entire locker. Cummings is actually a solid wrestler but doesnt know how to do anything together yet.

I'm completely not sold on Cormier, but this is hard fight for Jones. Cormier could well get him down. Jones is a great wrestler but the body types makes it difficult for him in this one. I predict Jones to use his reach to make it look similar to the Glover fight though. Keeping Cormier at distance, mixing his striking well. I'd probably estimate it to be 2 rounds close to Cormier, 2 rounds clear to Jones, 1 round draw.
