Daniel Cormier meddelade under förra månaden att han inte hade något intresse av att möta Jon Jones i New York, men nu är lätt tungviktsmästaren inte helt säker längre. Cormier meddelade nyligen via ”MMAJunkie” att han tänker ge sig själv till efter julen för att bestämma sig, och detta hade han att säga:
We talked about it, and I told them where I stood. They were very good about it and they were open and they listened to everything I had to say. We talked about it a little bit. They said they were going to let me get through the holidays and see how I felt at the end of the year.
I don’t want to do it. I don’t think he should be rewarded after coming off of what he came off of. I do look at it and say New York fans are some of the most vocal fans in the world, so what if I have a whole bunch of people who are against what Jon did? Maybe it could work different, because there’s no place in the country where, if you’re considered a bad guy, they will boo you louder and let you know more than New York City. But the chances of that happening are slim, because he’s from New York.
In terms of athletic career, a chance to main event a fight in the Garden, that’s amazing. That’s an amazing opportunity, so we’ll revisit it after the holidays and see where I stand.
De båda kämparna har redan varit på varandra sociala medier inför den kommande titelmatchen, men när mötet kommer att äga rum återstår att se.
