Morning Report: Daniel Cormier has new plan to beat Jon Jones, 'Skill for skill I'm better than him'

UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier doesn't know when, but the next time he steps into the Octagon he'll be sharing it with Jon Jones.

Jones scored a unanimous decision in the five-round title bout with Cormier at UFC 182, but "DC" says he's corrected what cost him the fight.

"The truth is, I lost that fight to Jones, but I didn't fight my best fight," Cormier told UFC announcer Bruce Buffer on his podcast. "I didn't fight very well and I still had a lot of moments in that fight. For me going into the next fight, not only do I feel like I'm going to win, I feel I'm supposed to win.
