UFC legend Jon Jones believes that he would’ve beaten Daniel Cormier pretty decisively if they’d met at heavyweight. As we know, Jon Jones is one of the greatest fighters of all time. He’s certainly one of the best mixed martial artists ever, and he’s proved that over the course of a long career in the sport. While he did most of his work in the light heavyweight division, ‘Bones’ has also found success at heavyweight. He is a two-weight world champion, with many awaiting his next fight announcement – which will hopefully come sooner rather than later.
