Review: 2015-01-03, pretty good fight between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier, it was probably the only fight worth watching of a disappointing Ufc 182: it gets three stars (UFC Fight of the Night). Jon Jones entered this fight with a professional mma record of 20-1-0 (75% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.1 light heavyweight in the world; his only loss was, in reality, a disqualification suffered against Matt Hamill due to multiple “12-6 elbows” (strike brought from a high position toward the floor). Jon ‘Bones’ Jones is the Ufc light-Hw champion since March 19, 2011 when he defeated Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua (=Jones vs Rua), since then he has successfully defended the title seven times fighting just once in 2014, against Glover Teixeira (=Jones vs Teixeira).
His opponent, the undefeated 35-year-old Daniel Cormier ‘DC’ (8 years older than Jones), has a perfect record of 15-0-0 (67% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.2 in the same weight class, he fought twice in 2014 beating Patrick Cummins (=Cormier vs Cummins) and Dan Henderson (=Henderson vs Cormier). Jon ‘Bones’ Jones vs Cormier, main event of Ufc 182, is valid for the Ufc light heavyweight title (Jones’ eighth defense); they also faced each other a second time on July 29, 2017 (=Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones 2).

Review: 2014-05-24, Dan Henderson vs Daniel Cormier gets three stars only thanks to a good finish. Dan Henderson entered this fight with a pro mma record of 30-11-0 (54% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.4 light heavyweight in the world, he is 43 years old (8 years older than Cormier) and last year he lost three consecutive fights: against Lyoto Machida (=Machida vs Henderson), Rashad Evans (=Evans vs Henderson) and Vitor Belfort (=Belfort vs Henderson 2); he came back to victory in 2014 beating Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua (=Rua vs Henderson 2).
His opponent, the undefeated Daniel Cormier, has a record of 14-0-0 (64% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.7 in the same weight class, he moved down in weight class to the light-Hw division just three months ago defeating Patrick Cummins (=Cormier vs Cummins); currently the #1 in this division is Jon Jones.

Review: 2012-05-19, great fight with some heavy exchanges and a fantastic slam in the third round, if it were finished with a good submission or ko, the fight between Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier could get four stars.
