Daniel Cormier jämför Jones med Michael Jordan

Daniel Cormier tog förra helgen hem bältet i lätt tungvikt under UFC 187 efter en submissionvinst mot Anthony Johnson. Cormier har trots detta inte glömt Jon Jones, som han hade ett meddelande till efter matchen.

Nu jämför Cormier Jones med med basketlegenden Michael Jordan när denne lämnade NBA under två år.

Det här berättade Cormier, via UFC:

Jon Jones disqualified himself from competition. I didn’t, Anthony Johnson didn’t, Ryan Bader didn’t. None of us ever did. Jon Jones took himself out of the game — he checked out. He got two technical [fouls] in game five of a seven-game series and he can’t play through the last two games. We are fighting for the UFC championship and I accomplished my goal. I wish I would’ve had to beat Jones to win this belt, but he checked out and took himself out of the game. We didn’t do it.

Jon’s got some bigger issues than even worrying about fighting. He has to figure himself out on a personal level. The legal process will run its course and then we’ll see what happens. I don’t know how long Jon is going to be gone for, but as time passes people will accept that I’m the champion or if someone beats me they are the champion. Because with time, everyone forgets about anyone else. In 1993, 1994, the Houston Rockets are the NBA champions … not because Michael Jordan didn’t play. Michael Jordan checked out for two years [to play baseball] and the Rockets were the champions. Jon Jones checked out, he checked out of the game.

Jones är avstängd på obestämd tid efter inblandningen i smitningsolyckan där han skadade en gravid kvinna.
