When asked about the possibility of losing to Cormier, Jones shot the question down by saying that there’s no way he loses to him.

“I do not think that possibility. I understand that there is a possibility of this happening, but when I think of the defeat, the only thing that comes into my head, soon after, is that I have to get back to work. I have to improve on something. I train four, five times a day. I think to myself, “No way, Jon You will not lose this fight.”. There’s no way I lose. The his age will not allow it, and I’m stronger and faster.”

Jones also explained that he doesn’t hate Cormier despite the massive trash talk that has gone on between the two fighters.

“I definitely do not hate this guy. We did not like because we are the elite of our sport. We are at the highest level when it comes to a UFC fighter. He only lost to me, and I have not lost anyone. I know he’s a guy capable and have a chance to beat me. He knows that I can beat him because I’ve done it. It is a competition that only we can draw from each other – recognized the former champion.”

UFC 197 takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 23rd, 2016. The main card will air on pay-per-view while the prelims will air on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Conor McGregor has recently been criticized for tapping out at UFC 196 in his fight against Nate Diaz. Diaz recently spoke with MMA Junkie about why McGregor shouldn’t be getting flak for tapping.

“If you’ve got to tap out, you’ve got to tap out,” Diaz told MMAjunkie. “I think Holly, she thought she was maybe going to get out. She had already gotten out of one (choke earlier in the fight) and she thought, ‘I’m not quitting.’ McGregor, he was (expletive) done. All the way done. It’s all right. He had to tap out because there was no getting out of that. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with tapping out.”

“It’s a fight against the best fighters in the world; you’ve got to tap to that (expletive),” Diaz said. “You ain’t getting out of it. You can tap out, or you can go to sleep. It’s (expletive) the same (expletive). You tap out if you’re caught. The thing is, that’s what I think, is don’t get caught.”

Diaz is rumored to be the next challenger for UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos later this year.

Colin Cowherd has a message for Ronda Rousey: It’s okay to be a woman AND a fighter

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is slowly but surely making her way back into the limelight after last November’s knockout loss to Holly Holm, the first defeat of her professional m…

Along the way, “Rowdy” has become affable, parading around the set of Saturday Night Live (watch it) and posting tongue-in-cheek videos about her ability to chew solid foods, a far cry from her dour disposition in the days before — and after — UFC 193.

Much to the delight of FOX Sports mouthpiece Colin Cowherd:

“I find her very cute and likable and vulnerable and fun there. If you’re a dominant MMA fighter — Holly Holm came on the set… you can still be fun, and vibrant, and a woman. I found Ronda Rousey, right before her fight with Holly Holm, kind of a bully. I didn’t find her likable. It’s okay to be a woman and a fighter. Holly Holm is an attractive woman and a fighter. Sometimes with these women who fight it’s like, ‘Hey, all I am is a fighter!’ It’s okay to be vulnerable, fun, cute, awesome, dominant athlete, and a fighter and a woman. It’s the same for guys.”

Take note, Mr. Grumpy Pants.

Rousey is expected to return to combat sports later this year, but now that Holm coughed up her division strap to Miesha Tate earlier this month at UFC 196, “Rowdy” will skip her do-over with “The Preacher’s Daughter” (for now) to complete her trilogy with “Cupcake.”

We’ll see how long the non-bully stance holds up once Tate turns up the heat.

Although initially scheduled for UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil, the bout between Evan Dunham and Leonardo Santos has been moved to UFC 199.

Dunham reportedly suffered a “small injury,” which forced UFC to move the fight back by a short period of time, thus the switch from UFC 198 to UFC 199.

Dunham-Santos now joins the card headlined by Luke Rockhold vs. Chris Weidman II for the UFC Middleweight Title and Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber III for the UFC Bantamweight Title.

UFC 199: Rockhold vs. Weidman II is scheduled to take place at The Forum in Inglewood, California.

Carlos Condit Hunting Robbie Lawler For UFC 200 Rematch

The post Carlos Condit Hunting Robbie Lawler For UFC 200 Rematch appeared first on LowKick MMA.

UFC 195 produced one of the craziest five round wars in UFC welterweight history, as Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit traded leather in the main event. The champion Lawler managed to take home the split decision win at the end of the bout, but it wasn’t without some shaky moments along the way. In vintage fashion, ‘The Natural Born Killer’ scored with a variety of creative striking techniques, using a high volume approach with nimble footwork to try and avoid the power strikes of ‘Ruthless.’

Unfortunately for Condit, fighting for his second time in a 170-pound title fight (minus the interim bout), his style did not please the majority of the judges. Many debated the fact ‘NBK’ lost, and punch stats might concur, but the undeniable fact was the power shots from Lawler swaying the judges. The bout was so intense toward the final round that you could barely hear Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg, and they were screaming.

Although Lawler came out on top, there are two points glaring in the case of Condit; one is that he can do more than hang with the elite, the second is the fact ‘NBK’ is perhaps the most entertaining fighter on the roster, along side Lawler himself. Speaking with FOX Sports, the Greg Jackson’s product reveals that UFC matchmakers might be close to announcing a rematch with ‘Ruthless’ at UFC 200, which would literally blow our minds if it transpires.

“It’s a little bit of a waiting game. That’s basically what the UFC told me. Give them a few weeks to kind of figure stuff out and we’ll just see where it goes from there. It’s a little crazy right now. There’s an argument that could be made for a lot of different guys getting a title shot. I think I have one of the strongest arguments but it’s kind of crazy right now. I don’t think anybody would be sad about them making that matchup. I understand there’s other fights they might want to make and that’s basically want they told me, but I’m going to stay in shape. You know how this sport is, people get hurt, people back out of fights. If that happens in this situation, I’ll be ready to step in and fill in for the challenger. I don’t think anybody would be sad about that.”

Pray to the MMA gods, pray long and hard people.

Joe Rogan: Frankie Edgar not a huge draw, but easier sell than Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo rematch

Now that Conor McGregor is no longer experimenting with higher weight classes, thanks to a UFC 196 submission loss to Nate Diaz, “Notorious” will return to the featherweight division to defend his 145-pound strap, presumably at the UFC …

And while he’s not sure which rival will be waiting for him in Las Vegas, Nevada, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan told podcast listeners that Frankie Edgar is an easier sell, since Jose Aldo was recently creamed by McGregor at UFC 194 back in December.

Transcribed by MMA Fighting:

“Frankie Edgar is a way easier sell. Maybe if Aldo comes back and wins in spectacular fashion, like if he and Cub Swanson have a rematch. Because Swanson-Aldo went the same way Aldo and McGregor went. Aldo hits him with a flying knee two seconds into the fight cracks him. Aldo has to win again. You could sell [Aldo-McGregor II], but you wouldn’t sell it for as much as if Aldo won. Frankie Edgar is a 48-hour storm. You better have everything strapped down. He’s not going to get tired and he’s going to keep coming at you. He can wrestle his ass off. His footwork is sensational. I think Conor can knock out anybody, but you know what? So can Cub Swanson and he didn’t connect on Frankie. Frankie just wolverine’d him. Look at the Chad Mendes fight. Conor had a knee injury coming into it but Chad took him down at will. When Frankie gets you tired… What he did to Cub Swanson was incredible. Frankie’s not a huge draw but it’s a big fight. If Aldo fights Max Holloway, how about that? That’s a fucking fight. If he looks like the Aldo of old or he gets his ass whooped, one of those guys emerges. Then you’ve got the possibility of Max having a rematch with Conor. He’s the only guy to take Conor to a decision.”

We know who UFC President Dana White is leaning toward.

After losing a close decision to Jose Aldo in his featherweight debut, Edgar went on a torrid five-fight winning streak, capped off by last December’s knockout win over Chad Mendes. “The Answer” has also been extremely vocal about his place in line — as has Aldo — so it will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
