I always wanted him to be thhe guy to go against Jon Jones over JDS, but if JDS gets through Cain and Overeem, it's just an opening with no challengers what so ever ahead of him. Cormier might just be the guy to put in that place. It could be good to see Cormier fight a lower level UFC HW first, and then see how JDS' title situation plays out to decide where he wants to go. Great addition to the roster though, time to see how he matches up in the big league.

He doesn't need punching power, I'm convinced he's a sadist who purposely tries to hurt folks, so his style suits him perfectly with his elbows and his knee kicks and standing chokes and his fancy spinning shit.
My point is that they aren't going to stun DC on the way in, then DC drags Bones to the mat and beats him to a bloody pulp.

This is my dream fight after Aldo V Frankie :)

I don't know, Cormier is a stud and has skills for sure but he nearly died due to a weight cut in the Olympics and I believe that was a cut to 211 lbs, obviously he'll diet down but when you have a near fatal weight cut I'm not willing to trust you in later rounds. He's been a beast at Heavyweight but that is a massive fact I just can't over look, maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion but I really think he should fight someone before Bones just to see how he handles the cut and how effective he can utilize his skills.

He also has a 71 inch reach which means he'll have to get in Bones face and that will require energy.

Now that Cain is champion, I doubt Cormier is gonna continue fighting at heavyweight.

If Teixeira wins against Rampage, maybe Teixeira vs Cormier for the #1 contender status?

Please Cormier make this fight happen. This is where I place a nice lil bet as he'll be the major under dog against the LHW title holder. Oh it would be so nice!
