Daniel Cormier lyckades under helgen strypa ut Anthony Johnson vid UFC 187, och blev därmed UFCs nya lätta tungviktsmästare. Nu hoppas han att organisationens före detta titelhållare Jon Jones såg matchen, och detta hade Cormier att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:
I hope he was watching. Can you imagine him sitting there watching me, of all people, get the belt? If the roles were reversed, I would be going insane if I had to watch him do that, if I were in his situation. He doesn’t want to see me win, he doesn’t want to see me carry what he probably feels is still his title — which it isn’t, it’s mine. He doesn’t want to see that.
But I don’t know, maybe Jon is in so much of a better place now after going through the issues that he has, that he’s probably let everything go. But we will see, I guess.
Jones blev fråntaget bältet av UFC efter att han misstänks vara inblandad i en smitningsolycka, där en gravid kvinna fick föras till sjukhus på grund av en bruten arm.
