Morning Report: Jon Jones picks Daniel Cormier to beat Anthony Johnson at UFC 206 but would rather fight 'Rumble'

After the longtime 205-pound champion was stripped of his title last year for his outside-the-cage actions, Jones' online presence became markedly less active. But recently, with his looming drug hearings, and the rematch between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson coming up at UFC 206, Jones has been posting frequently to Twitter and Instagram.

And despite the long history of bad blood between them and Jones taking shots at Cormier recently, Jones doesn't deny his rival's talent, picking Cormier to win the rematch with Johnson based on his overall MMA game.
