Jon Jones may not be a fan of Daniel Cormier, but he certainly recognizes the greatness in the UFC heavyweight champion.
Jones, the current light heavyweight titleholder, predicted in a recent interview with Dan Hardy for BT Sport that Cormier will beat Stipe Miocic in their rematch, which takes place Aug. 17 at UFC 241 in Anaheim.
“I think Stipe will put up a better fight, but I do think ‘DC’ will win again,” Jones said. “‘DC’ is an extraordinary athlete. His flexibility and his speed for the way he’s built doesn’t really make sense — even his endurance for the way he’s built.
