Luke Rockhold: Jon Jones Doesn't Want it With Cormier at Heavyweight

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champion Luke Rockhold believes Jon Jones is avoiding fighting Daniel Cormier at heavyweight as that’s where he feels “DC” has the biggest advantage given his body shape and the fact he’s unbeaten at 265 pounds.

Jones made a successful return to action last month against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232 after serving a 15-month suspension which was handed down to him by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Jones submitted the Swede in their rematch to reclaim the light heavyweight title that he had never lost in the cage.
