Stipe Miocic Jon Jones Daniel Cormier
Only a few rivalries have drawn crowds to stadiums and television screens like the one between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier. In some way, shape, or form, Cormier’s career will always be linked to Jones. Their savage rivalry erupted in the midst of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, resulting in countless tense encounters during press conferences and interviews, not to mention a pair of fights that reportedly sold over 1.6 million pay-per-view tickets.
The one misunderstanding that Cormier wants to dispel is that he and Jones had such a sour relationship that he didn’t respect him as a fighter or opponent. Cormier has always regarded Jones as one of the greatest fighters in the sport’s history, and he had no qualms about expressing it in the past, much less now as his career draws to an end.
