After a busy week at UFC 230, even with the headlines focusing mainly on Daniel Cormier’s heavyweight title defense against Derrick Lewis and Jon Jones’ return from his latest suspension to face Alexander Gustafsson, the key takeaway from Cormier and Jones was that they both no longer have any interest in facing the other.
For Cormier, he will tell you that his career is coming to a close and he has one fight left.
For Jones, he will tell you that he’s already beaten Cormier twice — even if the second win was overturned due to a drug test failure — and he knocked Cormier out in that second fight, and thus, there is nothing let to prove.
