Toe-to-Toe: The Thanksgiving Edition
Well, here at Combat Press, we’ve gathered our troops to give our thanks.
Before we begin, our managing staff would like to say that we’re thankful for each and every one of our staff members, from the writers who join us here, to those who are away at the moment, and to our photographers and contributors. And we’re also thankful for you, the readers.

However, the central focus of this gathering is to look at what we’re thankful for in the year 2016 in the world of combat sports. It could be anything a particular event, fight, fighter, promotion or even an announcement. Whatever it may be, it’s time for us to share.
It may not be the fight we were hoping for, but it’s the fight we’ll get.
After over a year on the sidelines, the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, Jon Jones, is making his return this weekend. In a perfect world, Jones would be walking into the Octagon on Saturday to go toe-to-toe with his archrival, Daniel Cormier, and look to reclaim the belt that was ripped away from him last summer. Instead, the injury epidemic that’s become the most predictable part of MMA the past few years reared its ugly head for the umpteenth time and forced Jones’ successor to the throne out of action.
