Cormier and Jones’ past has been well-documented. They were at each others throats when they were championship competitors at UFC 182 and UFC 214. Cormier has since hung up the gloves and entered the UFC Hall of Fame, but Jones is still going at it, as a champion in a second division.

Once in a while, Daniel Cormier does say some nice things about his most bitter rival, Jon Jones. The post “Such a Dumb Take”- Praising Jon Jones’ $16.6M Success Lands Daniel Cormier at Crosshairs With UFC Fans appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Cormier’s co-host, Chael Sonnen, also picked Harrison as his female Fighter of the Year. Cormier mentioned UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili but acknowledged that fighting once this year isn’t enough.

The UFC could put together an MMA fight that would be an even bigger bout than Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall colliding in a heavyweight championship unification, according to the former UFC champion Henry Cejudo.

Chael Sonnen picked UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who knocked out Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka, and Khalil Rountree in the span of six months. Sonnen credited Pereira for continuously stepping up to save pay-per-view shows.
