Jon Jones has a message for those hoping he’ll someday fight Daniel Cormier for a third time: Don’t get your hopes up.
Jones took to Twitter on Monday night — less than a week before Cormier is scheduled to defend his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 241 — to explain why he believes he’ll never have a trilogy fight with his longtime rival. Basically, Jones, the current UFC light heavyweight champion, has no interest in moving up to heavyweight and doesn’t think Cormier would be able to cut down to 205 pounds at this stage of his mixed martial arts career.
I’ve been the light heavyweight champion for almost my entire MMA career, never have I moved up to challenge a heavyweight champion. I’m simply not interested in it right now, never seriously have been.I feel like the move is inevitable but as of right now, Im dominating fights and making weight just fine. Daniels and I not reverie, but beef started at the light heavyweight division and that’s where it should end.
NESN BSO they basically taking your idea 🤣
NESN Jones wants to be the GOAT then he wouldn’t have a problem facing DC GOAT’s ain’t suppose to be afraid of any challenges
NESN There's no point to having a trilogy, if one fighter loses the first two fights. They said that the minuscule amount of banned substance in Jones' blood did NOT give him any advantage. Cormier even said, in his recent ESPN interview, that he's OK with not fighting Jones again.
