Saturday night, in the main event of UFC 214, former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will step into the Octagon with light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier for a highly anticipated rematch<\/a> several years in the making. <\/p>\n

Ahead of the fight, the MMA community is torn in regards to their predictions for the fight. While some believe that Daniel Cormier remaining active<\/a> and defending his belt in Jon Jones’ absence will aid him in picking up a win, others believe that Jones will reclaim the light heavyweight title<\/a>, and cement his place as the undisputed greatest 205 pounder of all time.<\/p>\n

\"Jon<\/p>\n

Jimi Manuwa, who is also fighting on the card, spoke to BloodyElbow<\/a> to discuss the fight, and give a rather one-sided prediction:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about fighting, it\u2019s not a personality contest. It\u2019s not about seeing who\u2019s got the best morals or whatever. Obviously, as a champion in the public eye, you\u2019ve got to keep a certain standard of integrity, but ultimately, it all comes back to fighting.<\/p>\n

I believe Jones can beat Cormier eight out of ten times\u2014even ten out of ten times. I think Jon Jones has got his number, he really has. The only way Cormier can beat Jones is to take him down and grind him. He\u2019s not going to knock him out because he\u2019s unable to strike with him because Jones is too good a striker and too good at using his length and range.<\/p>\n

Cormier is not a striker, he\u2019s a messy stand-up fighter. He has to close the distance and try to take him down, but he couldn\u2019t do it in the first fight, and I don\u2019t believe he can do it now. Cormier hasn\u2019t knocked someone out in\u2014I can\u2019t even remember the last time he knocked someone out.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Jimi<\/p>\n

Jimi Manuwa of course, could very well find himself in the title mix with a win on Saturday, as he could potentially become the light heavyweight #1 contender with a win over Volkan Oezdemir.<\/p>\n
