Jon Jones tog sig under helgen an Ovince St-Preux då de möttes under UFC 197 i Las Vegas, en match som Jones tog hem via ett enhälligt domslut. Alla var dock inte imponerade över den före detta lätt tungviktsmästaren Jons insats, och en av dem var nuvarande titelhållaren Daniel Cormier.
Detta hade Cormier att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:
Seeing this new guy in there on Saturday, who I truly believe is who he is now; he went home on Saturday questioning, ’Why did I fight like that? Why did I look like that? I didn’t look like the guy I thought I was going to be’.
We saw videos of him jumping high, he jumped so high once off a box that I thought he could dunk a basketball. I was like, ’This dude is working, he’s getting better.’ Then I see him and I say, ’Okay, this guy is not better.’
The game has changed a lot since Jon last fought and under these new rules, it is tough. That IV really does make a difference and Jon is a big guy, so, that IV makes a difference. Nobody even knew IV’s were a part of USADA, this was new to everybody. No one knew that there was going to be an IV ban. But, that’s him.
I dagsläget planeras det en titelmatch mellan Daniel och Jones inför UFC 200 den 9 juli, förutsatt att de båda är skadefria.
