Daniel Cormier: Jon Jones ‘did not punch very hard,’ will have to rely on skill vs. Ciryl Gane

Daniel Cormier questions Jon Jones’ power in his transition to heavyweight.

Former 205-pound champ Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) makes his heavyweight debut when he faces Ciryl Gane (11-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) for the vacant belt in Saturday’s UFC 285 headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and early prelims on ESPN+.

Having fought Jones twice, Cormier said Jones doesn’t have one-punch knockout power that would pose a threat to Gane, and he will need to dig deep to best the Frenchman.
