Pretty cool to see absolutely zero animosity between these two finalists of the Grand Prix.
It's not that cool to me, ok in a way it is, but is much better to watch a fight when there is some bad blood beetwen the fighters and it makes the fight much more marketable.
The plus though, is both fighters will be more calm and showcase their true skills instead of one or the other fighting off emotions. This could go either way. Either Josh gets inside and gets hold of him with a takedown and wins, or Cormier uses good movement avoids the takedown and wins by KO.
