Daniel Cormier: Jon Jones Would Be Tougher Fight Than Junior dos Santos
Daniel
Cormier, on “Beatdown,”
discussing what weight he’ll compete at in the UFC:
“If [teammate Cain Velasquez] is not the champion, why not stay at heavyweight? I’m 10-0 at heavyweight. I’m undefeated. I haven’t lost. If Cain’s not the champion, why wouldn’t I stay up and fight? ... Jon Jones is a tougher fight. I think Jon Jones is a tougher fight because of his ability to wrestle. Obviously Junior’s a bigger puncher and extremely confident, as he should be, but I think Jon’s a tougher fight for a guy like me because of his wrestling ability.”
