Jon Jones not interested in Daniel Cormier trilogy: ‘It’s not personal’

Jon Jones might have recently slammed bitter rival Daniel Cormier on social media, but he has little desire to get back into the cage with him for a third time.

The former UFC light heavyweight champion told ESPN he doesn’t want to fight Cormier, the current heavyweight and light heavyweight champion, because he has defeated him twice already (the second win, a third-round knockout, was later overturned to a no contest due to a Jones positive drug test). Jones doesn’t think he has much to gain from a third win over Cormier, so he doesn’t see the point in a trilogy.
