Did the UFC try to put together Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones at heavyweight as the MSG headliner?


With the return of Jon Jones, there has been much speculation about his next opponent and if he will headline the UFC’s event at Madison Square Garden. In addition to Alexander Gustafsson, it is rumored that a third match with current UFC Heavyweight and light heavyweight Champ was offered. If this happens would Jones move to heavyweight?

  1. Cormier should've took this fight it was his best chance to beat Jones. Jones would have to fight clean, Jones would have his first fight at HW where he'd be much slower, and he's coming off a layoff and had a short time to prepare. And before you say he doesn't want to fight a cheater just stop, he wants to fight Lesnar end of story.

  2. If Cormier really cared about his legacy, he'd scrap Lesner for now and first fight Jones. He won't because he knows Jones will beat him, then the Lesnar fight goes away. The Lesnar fight does nothing for Cormier's legacy.

  3. Chael is bullshitting with the OSP fight. He was strongest physically at that point.
