With UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou currently sidelined with a knee injury, Daniel Cormier thinks it would be a good idea for the UFC to book an interim title bout between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic.
“I think we’ll see another interim title. For me, what makes sense for that interim title is Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones,” Cormier said on a recent episode of RC & DC (h/t BJPenn.com). “I think you put those two together and then no matter who wins, when Francis comes back, you have a massive fight waiting for you.”
Cormier believes it makes sense for the UFC to put a belt on the line for Jones-Miocic because it would seem odd to see ‘Bones’ fighting in a non-title fight after all these years.
