One thing is crystal clear after our last match-up – Jon Jones is not going to have an easy path through this tournament. The overall #1 seed has made it to the second round, but just barely, squeaking by #8 Renato Sobral 32-26. We’ve never had an overall top seed come anywhere close to losing in the first round – going to be an interesting tournament for Jones.
Today, since we’ve just talked about Jon Jones, it only makes sense to talk about his career rival. Here’s #1 Daniel Cormier in action, taking on #8 Nikita Krylov. Will this one go smoother for the top seed? Your call.
